===Strong vocalic declensions===
Note: Declensions are named according to their form in [[Proto-Germanic]].  Often intervening sound changes render the once transparent stem endings opaque, and the name may no longer make much sense [[Synchrony and diachrony|synchronic]]ally.

Notes:
*'''-o''' in the nominative can be dropped following a long vowel.
*When a consonant precedes the '''-w''', an [[epenthetic]] vowel '''-a-''' (sometimes '''-o-''' or '''-e-''') appears in the oblique cases, e.g. neuter '''trëso''' "treasure", genitive '''trësawes'''.
Among the other nouns in this declension:
* Masculine '''lēo''' "grave", '''sēo''' "sea", '''scato''' (genitive '''scatawes''') "shadow", '''bū''' (genitive '''būwes''') "dwelling".
*Neuter '''rēo''' "corpse", '''zëso''' (genitive '''zësawes''') "right side", '''smëro''' (genitive '''smërawes''') "grease".
