Using the Old Norse Dictionary. Norønn ordbok (The Old Norse Dictionary) does not provide much information about how words are conjugated/declined. It only contains information in square brackets when words belong to minor inflection classes, i.e. if no square brackets are shown in the dictionary, the word belongs to one of the major classes.
