"Icelandic Primer with Grammar, Notes and Glossary"

_H??konar_.
45. Some nouns add _v_ before vowels: _s?¦r_ (sea), gen.
_s?¦var_.
46. The dat. sometimes drops the _i_: _s?¦_ (sea), _????r_. _dagr_
(day) mutates its vowel in the dat. _d?™gi_.
47. Nouns in _-ir_ keep the _i_ in the sing., and drop it in the
plur.:
SINGULAR PLURAL
_Nom._ h?™lli-r (_cave_) h?™ll-ar
_Acc._ h?™lli h?™ll-a
_Dat._ h?™lli h?™ll-um
_Gen._ h?™lli-s h?™ll-a
48. So also a number of proper names, such as _Skr??mir_, _????rir_.
(2) i-plurals
SINGULAR PLURAL
_Nom._ sta?°-r (_place_) sta?°-ir
_Acc._ sta?° sta?°-i
_Dat._ sta?° st?«?°-um
_Gen._ sta?°-ar sta?°-a
49. So also _gripr_ (precious thing), _salr_ (hall).
50. _g?™str_ (guest) takes _-i_ in the dat. sg., and _-s_ in the
gen.
