Originally, this suffix was used to create adjectives that refer to materials, such as Old Norse non eikinn oaken, from non eik oak and non gullinn golden, from non gull gold. Later, use of this suffix was extended to create adjectives from verbs, such as Old Norse non lyginn prone to lying, from non ljúga to lie.Ragnvald Iversen, Norrøn grammatikk, sjette rev. utg. 1961; p. 208 Suffix non suffix m feminine -in neuter -it used to create adjectives from nouns, meaning "made from" used to create adjectives from verbs, meaning "prone to" Declension Note that the positive degree strong masculine accusative singular is -inn, and not the would-be expected form *-nan. -in -in -n -n -inn -inn -it Derived terms When used, it often causes i-umlaut. non Descendants is -inn fo -in nn -en nb -en sv -en da -en Etymology 2 From non gmq-pro -ᛁᚾᚨᛉ (cf. gmq-pro ᚺᚨᛁᛏᛁᚾᚨᛉ and gmq-pro ᛊᛚᚨᚷᛁᚾᚨᛉ, ancestors of non heitinn and non sleginn), from non gem-pro *-anaz, the ending of all past participles of strong verbs.

Alternative forms non enn hinn inn Suffix non suffix m feminine -in neuter -it the definite article Usage notes The definite suffix is added to a noun to make it definite, but this is not nearly as common as en the, and is never done in the earliest texts, including most poetry, legal texts and runic inscriptions. There are four rules for how to apply the definite suffix to a given noun. There must be agreement between the suffix and the noun, in gender, case and number. The suffixed article will lose its -i- after the short closing vowels -a, -i, and -u. Note that, usually, contraction will happens also after a long closing vowel, but not if it leaves the word monosyllabic. non arma -inna armanna, from non armr m arm non á river -ina ána, from non á f river non hesti -inum hestinum, from non hestr m horse non sǫgu -innar sǫgunnar, from non saga f tale non tré -inu trénu, from non tré n tree In the plural, the suffixed article will lose its -i- after -r. non ormar -inir ormarnir, from non ormr m serpent non bœnir -inar bœnirnar, from non bœn f request, prayer non hendr -inar hendrnar, from non hǫnd f hand In the dative plural, the suffixed article will lose its -i-, and the noun will lose its final -m. non lǫndum -inum lǫndunum, from non land n land non mýrum -inum mýrunum, from non mýrr f mire Declension Descendants is -inn m; is -in f; is -ið n fo -in m,f; fo -ið n nn -en m; nn -a f; nn -et n nb -en m; nb -a f; nb -et n sv -en -n c; sv -et da -en c; da -et n References
