Declension edit

Only attested in the nominative plural πŒ°π‚πŒ°πŒ½πƒ (arans). This noun followed a declension similar to 𐌰𐌱𐌰 (aba) in Proto-Germanic, so it is likely at least some of the forms had a stem *πŒ°π‚πŒ½- (*arn-), but the distribution of these forms in the paradigm, if any such forms existed, is unknown.
