Adjective

 * 1) little, small, short

Inflection
This word has a suppletive inflection, using another root in the comparative and superlative forms, than in the positive form. Before the consonant cluster found in the contracted forms, the central vowel is shortened from í to i, so that lítlir > litlir. Note also the unexpected -nn ending in the masculine accusative singular form (lítinn instead of litlan), and the -t ending in the nominative and accusative singular neuter forms (lítit instead of lítilt).
