Noun declension
Nouns are declined in case and number by adding the following endings to the base form of the noun:
| - | -no | |
| -re | -nure |
Some examples are shown below: bevvo, father, and hɔgo, house.
| bevvo | bevvono | hɔgo | hɔgono | |
| bevvore | bevvonore | hɔgore | hɔgonore | |
Nouns ending in a consonant in the singular direct case usually add a euphonic vowel before the endings of the other cases. This vowel is generally -i-, but other vowels are also possible.
bas. vær‘ → dir. vær‘il‘, obl. vær‘iha, ...
Some irregular nouns, conversely, change their last vowel in the root before adding other endings. The commonest changes are u → o, or i → e. A lot of these nouns display both irregular and regular forms, especially in earlier texts. In modern texts the amount of irregular forms is extremely limited, with a strong tendency towards regularization by analogy.
bas. sænu → dir. sænol‘, obl. sænoha, ... bas. voɸi → dir. voɸel‘, obl. voɸeha, ...
