Category:Old Norse consonant stem nouns

Old Norse consonant stem nouns.

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

• in the nominative singular: when masculine, -r (which assimilates to a preceding l, n or s); when feminine, 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.
