Declension

  • Being originally a neuter noun, it has retained that declension, even when congruent with masculine forms.
  • As a nomen sacrum, this noun was always abbreviated when referring to the Christian god (although editions of the Gothic text, such as Streitberg's, typically write it and other abbreviated nomina sacra in unabbreviated form). The declined forms given below are essentially reconstructions, as they are never encountered in unabbreviated form in the manuscripts. The forms given below are inferred on linguistic grounds, but others have been proposed; e.g. the form πŒ²πŒΏπŒΈπƒ (guΓΎs) is sometimes given as the genitive singular behind the abbreviation πŒ²πŒΈπƒ (gΓΎs).
