The Inflection Endings of Germanic Nouns

In the original indo european language, a noun could have eight different endings. Those included endings like os a, om, o od and o. By the time of old english, those inflections had evolved into endings like s a as, o a, om and an. And it's believed that people began to slur those endings enough that they often started to sound the same. But i said there were three developments which converged around the tenth century. The first was increasing tendency to use a specific word order in the language. So when we speak to day, we generally put the subject of the sentence first, then we put in the verb, then the object.
