Nouns in class I end in -a in both the nominative and accusative singular cases and are mostly cyclical e.g. ''{{term|llaesta}}'' c.("luck") and ''{{term|pira}}'' c. ("wax"), with a small group of temporary nouns generally referring to occupations, e.g. ''{{term|coxazga}}'' t. ("courier").

Class I.a. represents the dominant paradigm of the declension.  Class I.b. is the result of the regular sound change of final -''o'' to -''e'' after a coronal consonant, merging the dative and genitive, but is otherwise identical to I.a..  Class I.c. is notable for ''epenthesis'', or the introduction of a sound, to the root in the nominative and dative plurals.

The singular genitive and plural accusative froms of ''{{term|frema}}'', ''{{term|frem}}'', also demonstrate the regular [[w:Apocope|apocope]], or dropping, of final unstressed -''e'' after a sonorant or -''d''.
