Old Norse feminine consonant stem nouns.

These nouns are feminine, typically with the following endings:

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

The stem classes are named from the perspective of Proto-Germanic and may not still be visible in Old Norse inflections. Feminine consonant stems with u-umlaut were originally u-stem or ō-stem nouns.
