Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /ˈiːmɪs/

Inflection
strong declension
The masculine nominative singular ýmiss also occurs. Also sometimes seen are feminine dative and genitive singular ýmissri, ýmissrar, respectively, and genitive plural ýmissra.
There is also a variant ýms, where the -i- is dropped throughout and the resulting declension is the same as of e.g. frjáls:
strong declension (variant)
singular | masculine | feminine | neuter |
---|---|---|---|
nominative | ýms | ýms | ýmst |
accusative | ýmsan | ýmsa | ýmst |
dative | ýmsum | ýmsri | ýmsu |
genitive | ýms | ýmsrar | ýms |

nominative | ýmsir | ýmsar | ýms |
accusative | ýmsa | ýmsar | ýms |
dative | ýmsum | ýmsum | ýmsum |

Occasionally this word is also used in the weak declension, usually with an article before it, and sometimes even in superlative. This is, however, proscribed by many authorities.
