The dwarf irregular gaIaxy GR,S, which is at the extreme faint end of the luminosity and mass functions, is studied using optical photometry and 21cm HI line observations. It is shown that rotation is only important to the gravitational support of the system in the inner parts (r < 250 pc). GR8 is one of the very few non-elliptical systems known (with M8ldwA) where the random motions provide es...
