Húsnorsk, as with most other Germanic languages, has a distinction between strong and weak stem types. These types are divided into classes based on gender and ending, the ending is typically determined by the form in [[w:Proto-Germanic|Proto-Germanic]], which occasionally leads to potentially confusing stem names, such as "strong ō-stem" nouns, which now have a null ending, where Proto-Germanic had *-ō. The ~~historic Proto-Germanic ending~~ is ~~what determines~~ the modern ~~umlaut patterns~~, ~~due to~~ this the stem ~~name can help you figure out the~~ type ~~of umlaut the noun has, though, sometimes confusingly,~~ a ~~noun may exhibit a different kind of umlaut in some forms (see the strong u~~-~~stems~~).

The strong/weak distinction is less important in the modern day, as the adjectival distinction this came from has since been lost in its entirety, so noun patterns are generally named for the gender and the stem type (eg. ''common a-stem'').

Húsnorsk occasionally extends umlaut across patterns in a form of regularization or analogy, this can lead to irregular evolution but morphology that's easier to remember (note how umlaut was extended to almost all vowels)

Like many Nordic languages, Húsnorsk underwent the masculine/feminine merger that creates the modern common/neuter systems in the continental Nordic languages, though it is far more progressed than many of them, having undergone the change in pronouns as well.
