Used to decline and categorize feminine consonant nouns in Old English.

Parameters

[edit]
|1=
The vowel-less stem of the noun's declension. Normally the lemma form ends in a heavy syllable and thus the lemma form would end in a consonant anyway, but there are several words such as hnutu and studu where it ends in a vowel. In those cases drop that vowel when filling in this parameter.
|2=
The nominative plural of the noun; it is always umlauted (e.g. bōc has the nominative plural bēc) with only one exception.
|nomsg=
The nominative singular of the noun. Used in cases like the nominative singular ending in a vowel, or when an h is present in the nominative/accusative singular that is deleted in other forms.
|nit=
Used solely for hnitu (nit) in order to remove the non-umlauted alternative dative (by invoking it as an empty parameter), because the term never features umlaut within its paradigm.
