>*norþrônijaR - norroenn
>*norþrônijanô - norroenan
>*norþrônijummu - norroenum
>*norþrônijas - norroens

>strong feminine:

>*norþrôniju - norroen
>*norþrônijô - norroena
>*norþrônijêRê - norroenni
>*norþrônijêRôR - norroennar

>The name of the tongue is a weak feminine: norþrônijô, norþrônijôn

>Gôdanô daga. - góðan dag
>*ek em mannaR norþrônijaR - Ek em maðr norroenn.
>*is þû kwenô norþrôniju? - Ert þú kona norroen?
>*þat ist norþrônijatô barna - Þat er norroent barn.

>*sâ karilaR norþrônijaR ist - Sá karl er norroenn.
>*hundaR hinaR fram harudalandê ist - Þessi hundr er frá Hörðalandi.
>*ek fagranô kattu aih - Ek á fagran kött.

>*In daga tîwas dagaR ist andi ana morgana wôdanas dagaR.
