Examples

“Naar et Subſtantiv ſtaaer i Genitivo efter et Nomen collectivum pluralis Numeri, da maa baade Adjektivet og Verbet ſettes i Fleertallet og rette ſig efter collectivum.”

When a noun in the genitive form comes after a collective plural number noun, both the adjective and the verb are inflected in the plural form.

“Dette substantiv [snippe] er ikke belagt i dansk før end ældre nydansk, dsv. perioden ca. 1525-1700, men må være indlånt langt tidligere, idet snip synes at optræde som et tilnavn på en Sweno Snep i Hvetbo herred i Vendsyssel så tidligt som i 1369 (jf. DgP II.1029).”

This noun [snippe] is not attested in Danish before early Modern Danish, i.e. the period ca. 1525-1700, but must have been borrowed earlier, as snip seems to appear as an epithet of one Sweno Snep in Hvetbo hundred as early as 1369 (viz. DgP [Danmarks gamle personnavne] II.1029).
