When ''a, á'' or ''au, áu'' are affected by both i-mutation and u-mutation simultaneously, the result is ''œ, œ́'' and ''oy, óy'' respectively.

Generally speaking, polysyllabic forms follow the same paradigms but do not undergo i- or u-mutation unless there is a following vowel (e.g. ''áratt'' "silver" (a, n.), g.sg. ''áratt'' but n.pl. ''árett''). Polysyllabic forms are also liable to lose the final vowel of the stem when endings are added when the syllable is short and this may obstruct mutations from occurring (e.g. ''dafað'' (a, m.), g.sg. ''dafað'' but n.pl. ''dafði'').

The vocalic stem classes include stems with either ''j'' or ''v'' in the stem (e.g. ''dan'' 'man', d.sg. ''dænju''; ''mor'' 'ant', d.sg. ''morvi''):

===Adjectives===
Adjectives must agree with their noun in gender, number and case, and follow the same declension patterns as nouns. A-stem adjectives take the o-stem endings following a feminine noun (e.g. ''dæni sini'' 'old men' but ''rægi sjano'' 'old women', ''hœthlo sjano'' 'old stories').
====Comparison====
Comparative adjectives decline only for number and gender, not case. They are formed with the following suffixes:
{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center;"
|-
! width="100px;" |  !! width="100px;" | Singular !! width="100px;" | Plural
|-
! Masc/Fem.
| ''-ju<sup><small>I</small></sup> || ''-ja''<sup><small>I</small></sup>
|-
! Neut.
| ―<sup><small>I</small></sup> || ''-jo''<sup><small>I</small></sup>
|-
|}
The comparative is used in two forms of sentence:
* with the copula, e.g. ''ih keu sant kænju ith sau'' 'this dog is nicer than that one'
* with a relative clause, e.g. ''rái-sei í koylju'' 'the woman who is thinner'.
Superlative adjectives take ''-jau''<sup><small>I</small></sup>, which declines like an a/o-stem adjective:
{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center;"
|-
! width="40px;" rowspan="2;" | !! colspan="3;" | Singular !! colspan="3;" | Plural
|-
! width="50px;" | Masc. !! width="50px;" | Neut. !! width="50px;" | Fem. !! width="50px;" | Masc. !! width="50px;" | Neut. !! width="50px;" | Fem.
|-
! Nom.
| colspan="2;" | ''-jau'' || ''-javo'' || ''-jevi'' || colspan="2;" | ''-javo''
|-
! Acc.
| colspan="3;" | ''-jau'' || ''-jou'' || colspan="2;" | ''-javo''

|-

|-
! ''dah'' 'good'
