Usage notes
The inflected forms were gradually lost and replaced by -andi throughout the Nordic language area. This happened during the 13th century in Norway and as late as in the 17th century in Iceland. In Icelandic, -ǫndum developed into -öndum/-endum, but all inflected forms are now considered obsolete.Archived copy http://snara.is/vefbaekur/g.aspx?dbid=2&action=search&sw=andi-&r=2 13 January 2019 https://web.archive.org/web/20090110182858/http://snara.is/vefbaekur/g.aspx?dbid=2 10 January 2009
