Usage notes

[edit]

Declension

[edit]

Only the dative singular of this terms is attested (in the phrase 𐌹𐌽 𐌸𐌹𐌢𐌰𐌹 𐌷𐌰𐌻𐌱𐌰𐌹 (in ΓΎizai halbai, β€œin this respect”)), which is not enough to determine its stem. It may have been either an ō-stem or an i-stem. An ō-stem is usually assumed, due to the lemma's cognates.
