There are two strong neuter, three masculine, and three feminine declensions. The masculine and feminine each have an A, an I, and an R stem, after the defining difference in the nominative singular of the Proto-Germanic form.
Though the masculine a-stems tend for an -s genitive singular, and the i- and r-stems tend for -ar, there are many words that don't follow. The -i of the dative singular is frequently dropped from many words, particularly in the i-declension. Bisyllabic proper names originally in -arr or -urr, such as Einarr (modern "Ènar" /ˈe.nəθ͇/) and Gizurr (modern "Gisur" /ˈɟɪ.sʌθ͇/) do not contract as hamarr ("hamr-") before an inflectional syllable.
These first few are masculine a-stems.

{{snon-decl-m-a|eld|fc=d}}
{{snon-decl-m-a|hàt|hòt|fc=t}}
{{snon-decl-m-a|hàmar|homr|hamr|hamar}}
Due to many sound changes, "hamare" is quite irregular, this following table is more colloquial spellings that better show pronunciation.
{{snon-decl-m-a|hàmar|honr|hanr|hanar}}
And an uncontracted form:
{{snon-decl-m-a|hàmar|hòmar|fc=r}}
