From Wiktionary, the free dictionary
Nominals ending with ⟨-n⟩; inverse consonant gradation possible.
The inflectional stem is formed by replacing ⟨-n⟩ with ⟨-me-⟩. The final ⟨-e-⟩ is dropped before the plural marker ⟨-i-⟩.
Partitive singular ending ⟨-ta⟩/⟨-tä⟩, partitive plural ending ⟨-a⟩/⟨-ä⟩, and genitive plural endings ⟨-en⟩/⟨-ten⟩.
