Category:Proto-West Germanic masculine a-stem nouns

Proto-West Germanic masculine a-stem nouns.

These nouns are masculine, typically with the following endings:

• in the nominative singular: the bare stem;
• in the genitive singular: -as;
• in the nominative plural: -ō or -ōs.

The stem classes are named from the perspective of Proto-Germanic and may not still be visible in Proto-West Germanic inflections.
