adj.形容词 adjective

1
- : noting a case having as a distinctive function indication of the indirect object of a verb or the object of certain prepositions.

n.名词 noun

1
- : the dative case.
- : a word or form in that case, as Latin regi in regi haec dicite meaning “tell this to the king.”

Moreover, fet of the plural applies only to the nominative and accusative; the genitive has fota, the dative fotum.
Probably folc should be taken as dative, or folke should be read; and sends it to the people and thereby betokens &c.
Every accusative resembles either the nominative or the dative; if the latter, it ends in -e.
If a final -e appears, it is usually in the dative case; but even in this case, it is frequently dropped.
Whos occurs as expressing a genitive; and whom for a dative; but we never find who as a nominative.
