118. When suffixed to its noun it undergoes various changes. In
its monosyllabic forms it drops its vowel after a short
(un-accented) vowel, as in _auga-t_ (the eye), but keeps it after
a long vowel, as in _??-in_ (the river), _tr?“-it_ (the tree). The
dissyllabic forms drop their initial vowel almost everywhere;
not, however, after the _-ar_, _-r_, of the gen. sg., nor in
_m?™nninir_ (men, _nom._), _m?™nn-ina_ (men, _acc._). The _-m_ of
the dat. pl. is dropped before the suffixed _-num_.
