Weak declension

edit

In the weak declension, an "n" is commonly seen in the suffixes. It seems to be related to the N-stems found in Latin third declension.

The Gothic word guma (genitive: gumins), for example, is etymologically related to Latin homo (genitive: hominis).

Personal pronouns

edit

Aren't there other personal pronouns?
Old High German#Samples looks like there's "thu" and "thū" (2.ps.sg. nom.).
Forms with th instead of du might be less German/Germanic (see e.g. Modern German du, and thou in the Romance language English), but shouldn't they be mentioned anyway? -93.196.234.171 (talk) 13:34, 26 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

Order of cases

edit

"English grammars of Old High German often present the cases in the order NOM-ACC-GEN-DAT-INST." What order do German grammars of OHG present the cases in? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.179.125.246 (talk) 18:12, 17 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
