Old Norse a-stem nouns.

These nouns are masculine or neuter, typically with the following endings:

  • in the nominative singular: when masculine, -r (which assimilates to a preceding l, n or s); when neuter, the bare stem;
  • in the genitive singular: -s or sometimes -ar;
  • in the nominative plural: when masculine, -ar; when neuter, the bare stem with u-umlaut.

The stem classes are named from the perspective of Proto-Germanic and may not still be visible in Old Norse inflections.
