1. various

Inflection

The masculine nominative singular ýmiss also occurs. Also sometimes seen are feminine dative and genitive singular ýmissri, ýmissrar, respectively, and genitive plural ýmissra.

There is also a variant ýms, where the -i- is dropped throughout and the resulting declension is the same as of e.g. frjáls:

Occasionally this word is also used in the weak declension, usually with an article before it, and sometimes even in superlative. This is, however, proscribed by many authorities.
