Stem- suffixes | They could consist of: 1) vowels (vocalic stems: a-stems i-stems u-stems o-stems) 2) consonants (consonantal stems: n-stem) 3) sound sequences (ja-stem, s-stems wa, jo, wo nd-stems r-stems) 4) Some groups of nouns had no stem-forming suffix or had a «zero-suffix». They are termed «root-stems» and are grouped together with consonantal stems, as their roots ended in consonants. Ex: man, boc I-1I1 I. a-stems included Masc. and Neut. nouns. Ex: Masc. - cniht, ham, mup Neut. - lim, hius, pin3 Strong declensions vocalic stems Nom. Gen. Dat. Ace. | 1) The Southern dialects re-arranged and simplified the noun declensions on the basis of stem and gender distinctions. EME employed only four markers -es,-en, - e and the root-vowel interchange plus the bare stem (the «zero» inflection) - but distinguished, with the help of these devices, several paradigm. Masc. and Neut. nouns had two declensions, weak and strong. • Masc. nouns took the ending -es m Norn, Acc.pl. Ex: bishes • Neut. nouns had variant forms. Ex: land/lande/landes • Most Fem. nouns belonged to the weak declension and were declined like weak Masc. and Neut. nouns. 2) In the Midland and Northern dialects was only one major type of declension and a few traces of other types. The majority of nouns took the endings of OE Masc. a-stems: - (e)s in the Gen.sg. (OE - es) | 1) Ex: man, book I-111 1 a-stems Ex: Masc. -knight, home, mouth Neut. -limb, house, thing | ||||

plurals with or without the ending -(ejs Ex: Sg. - hors, Pl. -hors (horses) • Some nouns retained weak forms with the ending -en alongside new forms in -es. | |||||||
Neut a-stems differed from Masc. in the PI. of the Nom. and Acc. cases. | |||||||
Instead of -as, they took -u for short stems and did not add any inflection in the long-stemmed variant. Consequently, long-stemmed Neuters had homonymous sg. and pl. forms. Ex: deor - deor, pin3 - pin3, sceap - sceap, hus - hus Grammatical feature: an instance of regular homonymy or neutralization of number distinctions in the noun paradigm. | • Some former Fern, nouns and some names of relations occur in Gen. case without - e(s) like OE Fern, nouns. Ex: My facler soule - «My father's soul» III. The root-stem declension had mutated vowels in some forms, and many variants forms which showed that the \owel interchange v\as becoming a marker of number rather than case. Root-stems, Southern dialects Nom Gen. Dat. Acc. | III. This peculiarity of the root-stems is considerable consequence for later history and has left traces in NE.

III. The other consonantal declensions are called minor consonantal steins as they included small groups of nouns. The most important type is the root-stems, which had never had any stem-forming suffix. In EOE the root-vowel in some forms was subjected to phonetic changes. After the ending was dropped the mutated vowel turned out to be the only marker of the form. The interchange of root-vowels had turned into a regular means of form-building used similarly with inflections. Root-stems Nom. Gen. Dat. Acc. | |||||||
