88 Accidence [§§ 185-6
The prim. Germ, forms of harjis were: Sing. nom.
*xarjaz, ace. *xarjan, voc. *xarj(e), gen. *xarjesa (with pronominal ending), dat. *xarjē, -ō (originally instr.); PI. nom. *xarjōz, ace. *xarjans, gen. xarjðn, dat. *xar-jomiz. All the forms of the sing, except the nom., and all forms of the pi. except the gen., are regularly developed from the corresponding prim. Germ, forms. *xarjaz became
*haris (cp. § 155) and then the -j- in the cases where it was
regular was extended to the nom. On harjē, see § 179.
The prim. Germ, forms of haírđeis were: Sing. nom.

*xlrđijaz, ace. *xirđijan, voc. *xirđíj(e), gen. *xirđijesa, dat. 'xirđijē,-ō; PI. nom. "xirđijōz, ace. "xirđijanz, gen.
*xirđijðn, dat. *xirđijomiz. In the nom. ace. voc. sing, the
*y- became ī after the loss of a, -(e), -an, then the ΐ (written el) being protected by a consonant remained in the nom., but became shortened in the ace. and voc. (but see § 154). In the gen. sing, -ije- became -iji- and then the j disappeared between vowels; whence haírdeis. After the -ij- had become -j- in the dat. sing, and all forms of the pi. the further development of these case endings was the same as that of harjis (§ 157).
§ 185. Like harjis are declined andastaþjis, adversary ; niþjis, kinsman. Like haírdeis are declined anđels, end ·, asneis, servant; hráiteis, wheat; lēkeis, physician; ragi-neis, counsellor; sipōneis, disciple; faúra-maþleis, ruler, prince; bōkareis, scribe; láisareis, teacher; mōtareis, toll-taker.
