Esteemed Lowlanders!

Ívison says:

'I would like to Know what were the determiners like in Old Dutch. I Know
where the form HET comes from, but I would like to Know the ancient forms
and their declension. Thank you very much.'

In Middle Dutch there were three genders`, and they were declined as
follows:

                    MASCULINE SINGULAR               MASCULINE PLURAL
NOMINATIVE           die                                               die
ACCUSATIVE          dien                                             die
GENITIVE                des                                              der
DATIVE                   dien
dien

                   FEMININE SINGULAR                    FEMININE PLURAL
NOMINATIVE           die                                               die
ACCUSATIVE          die                                               die
GENITIVE                der                                              der
DATIVE                   der
dien

                   NEUTER SINGULAR                       NEUTER PLURAL
NOMINATIVE           dat                                               die
ACCUSATIVE          dat                                               die
GENITIVE                des                                              der
DATIVE                   dien
dien

I am not sure of the Old Dutch forms, but I am sure that they would not have
been very different.
