  The following addendum was printed at the end of the book, and has been incorporated into the text: “To VIII on p. 149 add: The stressed form of the nominative is generally Ðe or Ðe?, but in some midl. and s. dialects it is Ðai or Ðei, and in Sh. and Or.I. n.Ken. Sus. de, rarely dei. The unstressed form is generally Ðe or Ð?, rarely Ði.” The reference to the addendum “See p.342.” has been removed from page 149. In the original sometimes the abbreviation “c.” is italicized, and sometimes not. They have been left as they were printed. Some words have been abbreviated in more than one way (e.g. s.w. and sw. for south-west). These have not been changed. In the original, citations for quoted poetry were printed on the last line of the quotation if there was room, with a long dash between the poem and the citation. If there was not room, the citation was printed on the following line. Here all such citations are shown on the line following the quotation, with no long dash. This book contains inconsistent hyphenations which have been left as printed. A few minor changes to punctuation have been made without comment, and the case of roman numerals in references has been made consistent. Other changes that have been made are: Page 36: “ s” has been changed to “is” in “it is a Norse word”. Page 244: “tall” has been changed to “tail” in “To safeguard a child from the infection of measles, place it on the back of a donkey, facing the animal’s tail ...”. The page headings from the original book are shown in sidenotes, normally at the start of the paragraph in which they occur. The use of quotation marks in these page headings does not appear to be consistent, however they have not been changed. In some cases the left-hand page heading represents a division of a chapter (e.g. “Accidence”), and the right-hand page heading a sub-division (e.g. “Pronouns”), these have been combined with a colon, (e.g. “Accidence: Pronouns”). In some very long paragraphs, only the first page heading is shown as a sidenote. The omitted page headings are:
