Notes:
*Dissyllabic nouns ending in '''-al''', '''-ar''' and '''-an''', with long stems, sometimes drop the '''-a-''' before an ending beginning with a vowel, e.g. masculine singular '''ackar''' "acre, field", genitive singular '''ackres'''.  Note that in these cases, the '''-a-''' is an epenthetic vowel that was not originally present (compare [[Gothic language|Gothic]] '''akrs''' < [[Proto-Germanic]] '''*akraz'''), and so the "deletion" of this vowel is really the preservation of the original form.

*The situation with long-stemmed dissyllabic nouns ending in '''-al''', '''-ar''' and '''-an''' is the same as for the corresponding masculines, e.g. nominative '''zwīfal''' "doubt", genitive '''zwīfles'''.

*Diminutives in '''-īn''' and '''-līn''', e.g. '''magatīn''' "little maid" (neuter!), '''fingarlīn''' "little finger", are declined the same except in the [[Upper German]] dialects.  In those dialects, final '''-n''' is dropped in the nominative and accusative, and furthermore in [[Alemannic German|Allemannic]] the nominative and accusative plural end in '''-iu'''.
