CHAP. I. DECLENSION OF SUBSTANTIVS.
GENERAL PRELIMINARY REMARKS.
(a) On declension in general.
§ [83]. The Gothic declension, like that of the remaining Old-Germanic dialects, comprises three genders: the masculin, neuter and feminin.
Note 1. The neuter of all declensions resembls in form very closely the masculin; a distinction occurs in the nom. and acc. sg. and pl. only.
Note 2. A distinction of gender is wanting only with the personal prn. of the 1st and 2nd persons, with the reflexiv prn. ([§ 150]), and with the numeral adjectivs 4-19 ([§ 141]).
§ [84]. The Goth. declension has two numbers: singular and plural.
