-naðr

naðr nádr Old Norse Alternative forms non -nuðr Etymology 1 From non -n- + non -aðr. This is the result of a rebracketing: when the word stem had a final n, the speakers thought that the n was part of a -naðr suffix. For example, non jafnaðr jafn-aðr was re-interpreted as non jafnaðr jaf-naðr.Ragnvald Iversen, Norrøn grammatikk, sjette rev. utgave 1961; p. 209 Suffix non suffix suffix used to create nouns, particularly from verbs, but also from adjectives Declension -nað -nað -nuð -naðr, -nuðr -naðrinn, -nuðrinn -nað, -nuð -naðinn, -nuðinn -naði Derived terms non Descendants is -naður -nuður fo -naður nb -nad gmq-osw -naþer -nadher sv -nad da -ne Etymology 2 Suffix non suffix form non -na inchoative verb suffix past part Declension -nað -nuð -nat References
