_to
conceal_, {verdagen}, {versw[i]gen}, _to keep secret_.

Sec. 101.

{Dative.} {ruofen}, _to call_, and {schirmen}, _to protect_, take the
dative. The dative is often used adverbially: {allenthalben}, _on all
sides_, {w[i]len(t)}, _formerly_, &c.

Sec. 102.

{Genitive.} The genitives {hande}, {slahte}, {leie} = _manner_ are used
adverbially: {maneger hande}, {slahte}, _or_ {leie}, _in many ways_,
_manifoldly_.

The gen. is used in combination with the comparative of adjectives, as
{dicker eines d[u]mes}, _thicker by the breadth of a thumb_. Indefinite
and interrogative pronouns, used substantively, take the genitive:
{iemen armer liute}, _any poor people_; {niht sch[oe]neres}, _nothing more
beautiful_; {d[e:]s enmac niht s[i]n}, _that cannot be_; {wa[z] mannes [e:]r
w[ae]re}, _what kind of man he was_. In the same manner the rel. {swa[z]} may
take the genitive: {swa[z] man vant d[e:]r armen}, _whatever poor people one
found_.

The genitive may be used predicatively:--{s[i]t s[i] d[e:]s gotesh[u]ses sint},
_since they belong to the house of God_; {diu sorge ist m[i]n eines niht},
_I am not the only one who has sorrow_.

Impersonal verbs often take the genitive: {mich gen[u:]eget d[e:]s}, _that is
enough for me_; {mich gezimt d[e:]s}, _that pleases me_.

The genitives {d[e:]s} and {w[e:]s} may be used adverbially in the sense of
_therefore_, _wherefore_; and likewise many nouns: {tages}, _by day_;
{d[e:]s s[e:]lben tages}, _the same day_; {nahtes}, _by night_.

Interjections usually take the genitive: {ow[e] mir m[i]nes leides!} _alas!
for my grief_. {vil}, _much_, _many_; {m[e](re)}, _more_; {w[e]nic},
{l[u:]tzel}, _little_; {minner}, {minre}, _less_; and {genuoc}, _enough_,
used as indeclinable substantives, are followed by the genitive.
Cardinal numerals, used substantively, are also followed by the
genitive: {zweinzec starker man}, _twenty strong men_.

ADJECTIVES.

Sec. 103.

The weak and strong forms are used in the same manner as in Mod. HG.
{dirre}, _this_, is followed by the weak or strong form; {aller}, _all_,
usually by the strong. The strong or weak form can be used after
pronouns, as {ich armer} or {ich arme}, _I poor ..._ In the vocative the
weak form without the article is used, as {guoten liute}, _(ye) good
people_. When the same adjective refers to nouns of different gender, it
is put in the neuter plural.

{ein} and the possessive pronouns are followed by the strong form in the
