Noun

substantiv n (singular definite substantivet, plural indefinite substantiver)

1. (grammar) common noun
   • [1775], H[ans] von Aphelen, Fransk Sproglære, [København]: [Johan Rudolph Thiele], via National Library of Norway, page 220:

     Naar et Subſtantiv ſtaaer i Genitivo efter et Nomen collectivum pluralis Numeri, da maa baade Adjektivet og Verbet ſettes i Fleertallet og rette ſig efter collectivum.

     When a noun in the genitive form comes after a collective plural number noun, both the adjective and the verb are inflected in the plural form.

   • 2003, Peder Gammeltoft, “Stednavne på -torp i Sydvestjylland”, in Peder Gammeltoft, Bent Jørgensen, editors, Nordiske torpnavne (Norna-Rapporter; 76), Uppsala: NORNA, via National Library of Norway, →ISBN, →ISSN, page 71:

     Dette substantiv [snippe] er ikke belagt i dansk før end ældre nydansk, dsv. perioden ca. 1525-1700, men må være indlånt langt tidligere, idet snip synes at optræde som et tilnavn på en Sweno Snep i Hvetbo herred i Vendsyssel så tidligt som i 1369 (jf. DgP II.1029).

     This noun [snippe] is not attested in Danish before early Modern Danish, i.e. the period ca. 1525-1700, but must have been borrowed earlier, as snip seems to appear as an epithet of one Sweno Snep in Hvetbo hundred as early as 1369 (viz. DgP [Danmarks gamle personnavne] II.1029).

2. (grammar, rare) substantive, noun; a common or a proper noun
