Old Norse neuter ja-stem nouns.

These nouns are neuter, typically with the following endings:

  • in the nominative singular: the bare stem;
  • in the genitive singular: -s or sometimes -jar, or -is in proper names;
  • in the nominative plural: the bare stem.

The stem classes are named from the perspective of Proto-Germanic and may not still be visible in Old Norse inflections. This class derives from Proto-Germanic a-stems ending in j after a light root, a vowel or a velar. As a result, the stem has i-umlaut throughout.
