+*The citation form is the singular nominative
+*Regular masculine nouns ending in consonant adds –ă in plural. If in –i, 'i' is dropped and replaced with –ă. If it already ends in –ă, it remains unchanged.
+*Regular feminine nouns ending in consonant add –ăr in plural. If ending in –i, -i is dropped and –ăr is added. If the singular ends in –u, just –r is added. The plural form is also used for singular dative-genitive.
+*Regular neuter nouns undergo u-umlaut in the plural. The only vowels affected are a, ă and â:
+**a > o
+**ă > u
+**â > u
+*Some nouns have a –j–/palatalization or –v– that appears before endings beginning in a vowel but is dropped otherwise.
+*A few nouns (known as consonant stems) have irregular plurals, mostly involving either i-umlaut or reversal of u-umlaut (i.e. singular has u-umlaut that is lost in plural).

+**mând (M) > mindă
+**foðr (M) > feðră
+**moðr (F) > meðrăr
+**šistr (F) > šistrăr
+**broðr (M) > breðră
+**dotr (F) > detrăr
+**fot (M) > fetă
+**tund (F) > tindăr
+**not (F) > netăr
