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 ''frema'', ''frem'', also demonstrate the regular ''apocope'', or dropping, of final unstressed -''e'' after a sonorant or -''d''. | |||
