Inflection
[edit]Historical inflection of bær
Forms in italics are currently considered non-standard. Forms in [brackets] were official, but considered second-tier. 1Nouns were capitalised for most of the 19th century. 2Aasen (1850) notes that dialects of Nordhordland use a form, berja-, to form compounds.[2] 3He also notes that this word is considered feminine in some locations.[2] |
