§ 110. Like =haírtô= inflect but few substantivs: =augô=, _ey_; =ausô=, _ear_; =barnilô=, _litl child_; =auga-daúrô=, _window_; =þaírkô=, _hole_, _ear of a needl_; =kaúrnô=, _corn_; =sigljô=, _seal_. Cp. J. Schmidt, 'Indog. Neutra', 106 et seq.

Also the weak adjectivs (§ 132).

NOTE 1. Irregular forms occur in the pl. of the neuters =namô=, _name_, and =watô=, _water_. The sg. inflects like =haírtô=. Paradim:

Sing. N. =namô= G. =namins= D. =namin= A. =namô= Plur. N. =namna= G. =namnê= D. =namnam= A. =namna=.

The pl. of =watô= occurs only in the dat. =watnam=. Cp. § 108, n. 1.

NOTE 2. To the dat. sg. =sunnin= which occurs (twice) in the frase: =at sunnin urrinnandin= (Mk. IV, 6. XVI, 2), belongs perhaps a neuter =sunnô= (not a m. =sunna=), beside the f. =sunnô=, _sun_ (§ 112).--Cp. Mahlow, 'Die langen vocale a, e, o', p. 156, and Sievers' comments on this in the appendix to the 3d G. edition of this grammar.

NOTE 3. The word =gajukô= which was formerly regarded as n., is f., '_a female cumpanion_'. Cp. Bernhardt's 'Vulfila', comment on Phil. IV, 3.
