Nouns

Strong vocalic declensions

The -a declension

This declension has as counterparts the second declension (us/um) of Latin, and the omicron declension (os/on) of Greek. It contains masculine and neuter nouns.

dag; daga
day m. 		čind; činda
child n.
Singular Plural Singular Plural
Nominative þer dag – þī daga –a þet čind – þija činda –a
Accusative þina dag – þīr dagar –ar þet čind – þija činda –a
Genitive þes dages –es þiera daga –a þes čindes –es þiera činda –a
Dative þimmy dagy –y þȳm dagym –ym þimmy čindy –y þȳm čindym –ym
Instrumental þina daga –a -- -- þina činda –a -- --

Examples of masculine nouns declined like dag "day": bierg "mountain", vieg "way", gȳst "spirit", kuning "king".

The -ja declension

This declension was really just the -a declension with a j immediately preceding. However, due to various sound laws, a new declension subcategory has arisen that does not exactly follow the form of the plain -a declension. Similar developments occurred in Greek and the Slavic languages, among others.

This declension has as counterparts the second declension nouns in (-ius/-ium) of Latin. The counterparts in Greek are some second declension nouns in (-ios/-ion), as well as many that show effects of palatalization (e.g., -zdos < *-gyos or *-dyos; -llos < *-lyos; -ptos < -*pyos; -ssos or -ttos < -*tyos; -airos/-eiros/-oiros < *-aryos/-eryos/-oryos; -ainos/-einos/-oinos < *-anyos/enyos/onyos; etc., and similarly for neuter nouns in -ion or *-yon). It contains masculine and neuter nouns.

hirdь; hirdia
herdsman, shephard m.
Singular Plural
Nominative þer hirdь –ь þī hirdia –ia
Accusative þina hirdь –ь þīr hirdiar –iar
Genitive þes hirdis –is þiera hirdia –ia
Dative þimmy hirdi –i þȳm hirdim –im
Instrumental hirdia –ia -- --

Sample nouns like hirdь: agent nouns in -arь (-aria), e.g. vahtarь (-aria) "watchman", lyrarь "teacher", andь "end", rīč "kingdom", badь "bed", getunž "language", þiūstarnys "darkness", herь "army" (genitive singular heries, dative singular heri).

The -wa declension

snȳw, snȳ; snȳwa
snow m. 		kneo; kneo
knee n.
Singular Plural Singular Plural
Nominative snȳw, snȳ – snȳwa –wa kneo –o, – kneo –o, –
Genitive snȳwys –wys snȳwa –wa knewys –wys knewa –wa
Dative snȳwy –wy snewym –ym knewy –wy knewym –ym

The -ō declension

This declension counterparts the first declension (a) of Latin, and the alpha declension (a/as) of Greek. It contains feminine nouns.

džāva; džāvar
gift f.
Singular Plural
Nominative þī džāva –a þijar džāvar –ar
Accusative þija džāva –a þijar džāvar –ar
Genitive þierar džāvar –ar þiera džāva –a
Dative þieraj džāvaj –aj þȳm džāvam –am

Sample nouns of this declension: džāva "gift", jerþa "earth", ȳra "honor", tala "number", triwa "fidelity", korunga "temptation", hardiþa "hardness", mildiþa "compassion", ganāþa "favor", losiunga "deliverance", stunda "time".
