Appendix:Finnish declension/hame

Nominals ending with ; inverted consonant gradation possible.

This is the most common form of declension, but see type 8 (nalle) for personal names. The inflectional stem is formed by adding an and strengthening the final consonant. Final gemination is present.

Partitive ending / and genitive plural ending /.

Consonant gradation
Unusually, for gradation purposes nominals of this type act as if there was a consonant after the final of the nominative singular, as in vieras; thus the base form is weak. Historically, the stem ended in or, but the consonant was regularly lost word-finally. The inflectional stem added a linking to the base form, leaving the root in its strong form, and gradated between  (strong, as in essive *-ekenA) and  (weak, as in most other cases). The inflectional stem was eventually levelled in favour of the weak form, resulting in all cases other than the nominative and partitive singular having an inflectional stem consisting of the strong form of the root +.
