Reconstruction notes
[edit]Only the genitive plural π½π°π³ππ΄ (nadrΔ) is attested, which is not enough to determine whether this word is an a-stem, an i-stem or a consonant stem, or whether it is masculine, feminine or neuter; Streitberg and Lehmann, though, both consider it likely to be a masculine a-stem, comparing it to its Old Norse cognate.
Declension
[edit]No singular forms are attested, but they probably existed.
