This form, yðvar is the long form, and yðar is the short form for "your" (plural). Like mín, is þín-, sín-, okkar-, ykkar-. The long vowel in mín shortens in the masculine nominative/accusative singular, and you add an -n. The feminine genitive/dative and genitive plural double the stem-ending consonant before adding the endings, explaining the double-n here, and double-r in vár. Anywhere else with a double n, the vowel shortens. Otherwise, it remains long. In vár, it doesn't shorten anywhere: +Old Norse for "our" Masculine Feminine Neuter Singular Nominative várr vár várt Genitive várs várrar várs Dative várum várri váru Accusative várn vára várt Plural Nominative várir várar vár Genitive várra várra várra Dative várum várum várum Accusative vára várar vár For yðar, ykkar, and okkar, you may shorten the vowel in trisyllabic forms (yðarum to yðrum, for example), but never with the long yðvar (yðar) As a reference the possessive nominatives (masculine, feminine, neuter) are: mín, þin, sín: minn, mín, mitt okkar, ykkar: okkarr, okkur, okkart vár, yðar: várr, vár, várt See the pattern? Masculine nominative: double the last consonant; Feminine nominative: no change in the singular, add '-ur' in the dual; Neuter nominative: add '-t', double it in the singular and replace 'n'.
