===Other Determiners===
===Other Determiners===
The determiners are an important word class in Valthungian because they trigger the choice of whether to use a strong or weak adjective in the noun phrase they introduce. Though most adjectives follow their nouns, determiners always precede them. A non-exhaustive list follows:
The determiners are an important word class in Valthungian because they trigger the choice of whether to use a strong or weak adjective in the noun phrase they introduce. Though most adjectives follow their nouns, determiners precede them. A non-exhaustive list follows:
* '''''als''''' ‘all’
 
* '''''ǣnagis''''' ‘any, whichever’
====''[[Contionary: als#Valthungian|als]]'' ‘all’====
* '''''bǣ''''' ‘both’
This determiner is inflectionally a little interesting because it has evolved an insertive /t/ in parts of the inflection due to changes to the geminates in [[Old Valthungian]]. When ''[[Contionary: als#Valthungian|als]]'' is used in conjunction with another determiner, it is declined as a weak adjective and has the meaning of ‘entire’ or ‘complete’.
* '''''hreužiþ''''' ‘each (of many)’

====''[[Contionary: bǣ#Valthungian|bǣ]]'' ‘both’ & [[Contionary: þrǣ#Valthungian|þrǣ]] ‘all three’====
Note that only plural forms of these determiners exist, because it is impossible to have both or all three of a singular noun.

====''[[Contionary: huaðruþ#Valthungian|huaðruþ]]'' & ''[[Contionary: hreužiþ#Valthungian|hreužiþ]]'' ‘each one’====
Note that only singular forms exist for ''each'' (*ahem*) of these determiners, because what is being discussed is a single noun out of, respectively, two or more than two. The unusual ''-þ'' ending is the result of compounding with earlier ''-uh''.

====''[[Contionary: huaðra#Valthungian|huaðra]]'' & ''[[Contionary: hreužis#Valthungian|hreužis]]'' ‘which’====
The dual form (''huaðra'') only exists in the singular, as there can only be a singular option when choosing between two nouns, but ''hreužis'' can be singular (“which one”) or plural (“which ones”).
