===Nouns===

A major development in nouns is the complete loss of the definite forms, being replaced by the independent "hinn", which precedes the noun, triggering nasal mutation in some forms.

The nominative and accusative merged together in the mid 1700's, leading to a necessarily stricter word order. The neuter has also merged with the masculine.

====Strong nouns====

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.~~

~~First to be shown will be the masculine patterns, then the feminines, and lastly the neuters, with several examples for each pattern. Take notice of how the case system is starting to collapse.~~

=====Masculines=====

These first few are masculine a-stems.

{{snon-decl-m-a|hàt|hòt|1e=hàet|1l='àt|2l='òt|1el='àet|1n=nhàt|2n=nhòt|1en=nhàet}}

{{snon-decl-m-a|r=y|hàmar|hòmar|1l='àmar|2l='òmar|1n=nhàmar|2n=nhòmar}}

These next two were originally neuter.

{{snon-decl-m-a|post|1e=poest|1l=phost|1el=phoest|1n=mhost|1en=mhoest}}

=====Feminines=====

{{snon-decl-f-ōn|aerv|orv|1l=h-aerv|2l=h-orv|1n=n-aerv|2n=n-orv}}

~~=====Neuters=====~~

~~Here we have the neuter a-stem.~~

~~{{snon-decl-n-a|post|post|1e=poest|1l=phost|1n=most|1en=moest|2n=most}}~~

~~In "post", notice the lack of change in the nom/acc plural, this is due to umlaut only occuring on -a- in this pattern, as in this next pattern.~~

~~{{snon-decl-n-a|màl|mòl|1e=màel|1l=mhàel|1n=màel|1en=màel|2n=mòl}}~~
