§aii] Declension of Nouns 99 PLUR. Nom. Ace. tuggðns manageins Gen. tuggōnō manageinð Dat. tuggōm manageim The fern, η-stems were originally declined like the masculine. As has been pointed out in § 206 the -ō of the nom. tuggð was levelled out into the oblique cases just as in Lat, serrno, discourse, ace. sermōnem, gen. sermōnis, dat. sermōnī, abl. sermōne; PI. nom. ace. sermðnēs, gen. sermōnum, dat. abl. sermðnlbus. The -ō in the gen. pi. regularly goes back to prim. Germanic •δη (§ 87, (i)). The dat. pi. was formed direct from tugg- + ōm, the ending of the ō-stems (§ 1Θ1). The īn-stems had -in· in all forms of the sing, and pi. already in prim. Germanic, as Sing. nom. *manaj5fn, ace *managmun; gen. *managínaz, or -iz, dat. *mana5īni, PL nom. *mana5íniz, ace. *managīnunz, gen. *mana-gīnðn, dat. *rnanagmmiz, from which the Gothic forms, except the nom. sing, and ace. dat. plural, were regularly developed. The regular nom. sing, would be *managi (§ 87, (i)). manage! was a new formation with -ei from the oblique cases. The ace. pi. manageins is the nom. used for the accusative (cp. § 2O7). The dat. pi. manageim was a new formation similar to hanam, tuggōm. On the origin of this declension, see Brugmann's Grundriss, vol. II (second ed,), pp. 312-18. § 211.
