Category:Proto-West Germanic z-stem nouns

Proto-West Germanic z-stem nouns.

These nouns are neuter, typically with the following endings:

• in the nominative singular: the bare stem;
• in the genitive singular: -iʀi (with Germanic umlaut of roots in -e-);
• in the nominative plural: -iʀu (with Germanic umlaut of roots in -e-).

The stem classes are named from the perspective of Proto-Germanic and may not still be visible in Proto-West Germanic inflections.
