The plural form is the unmarked form, whereas the Singulative is marked with the suffix ''-s''. Often this suffix elides the final consonant of the noun root. For this reason the plural is used as the citational form. | The plural form is the unmarked form, whereas the Singulative is marked with the suffix ''-s''.

Ablaut is a feature of third declension nouns. Generally the root vowel of the noun changes to an /e/ or /ɪ,i/ if the root vowel is /a, /æ/; nevertheless, in the majority of cases the ablaut patterns must be memorized. | Ablaut is a feature of third declension nouns.
