missing genitive? #390

Closed joelcw closed 13 years ago

joelcw commented 13 years ago

Is there some way that "heilaga trú" could be genitive here (from georgius):

"og stríddu þar á móti heiðingjum í 10 ár fyrir guðs skuld og heilaga trú skuld"

eirikurr commented 13 years ago

It shouldn't be, but it is of course possible that the scribe has made an error here and forgot the genitive endings.

joelcw commented 13 years ago

Should I tag it as genitive?

eirikurr commented 13 years ago

I'm not sure - there is perhaps another possibility; that "trú skuld" is a compound. However, this is perhaps unlikely - this compound is not listed in any dictionaries, as far as I can see.

eirikurr commented 13 years ago

However, the adjectives "trúskyldur" and "trúskyldugur" both exist, so maybe "trúskuld" is a compound after all ...

Thanks. I think I will leave it tagged genitive but add a comment.
