=====Class III=====
=====Class III=====
Nouns in class III are the most divergent, and there is great variation in this group and even within its subclasses.  Nouns in Class III may be either temporary, cyclical, or eternal, and it is difficult to discern the gender from the word from alone; they must be memorised individually.  For example, many temporary nouns are identical in both the nominative and accusative singulars.  Words in this category include ''{{term|mientre}}'' t. ("little brother"), ''{{term|salvra}}'' c. ("holy books, cannon"), ''{{term|véral}}'' c. ("sorrow, grief"), and ''{{term|dul}}'' e. ("hill").
Subclasses III.a. and III.d. represent the most stable group, the later marked by the differentiation of the aforementioned nominative and accusative cases.  Nouns in class III.b. are notable for their alternate nominative singular root, although stresses remains on the same syllable.  III.c. is analogous to classes I.c. and II.c. in their root epenthesis in the nominative and dative plurals.  Nouns in class III.e. are similar to those in III.b, in that they display a variant root in the nominative singular, however in the later stress is changed in the new root, often times to syllables that are deleted in oblique forms. 
Finally, nouns in class III.f. break entirely from the other paradigms, and are occasionally categorised as their own class (class IV), descending from [[Aeranir]] e-stem nouns.  However, the [[lla Axes llos Renes|Axes llos Renes]] groups it into class III.  These nouns are notable for having a distinct nominative singular, but all other singular cases are merged.
