Compare the neuter sumrin. There are multiple proscribed forms of the masculine inflection, including a null-ending genitive singular and nominative/accusative plural forms ending in -a(r); forms with stem contraction in the definite are also proscribed. There is also a proscribed plural-only feminine declension, owing to the null-ending of the plural. This phenomenon also takes place among other similar masculines, especially with fótur, regionally with fjörður, with fingur, faðir, bróðir and to a lesser extent to nouns ending in -andi or -jandi. ==== Declension ==== ==== Derived terms ==== === See also === === References === Ásgeir Blöndal Magnússon (1989), “vetur”, in Íslensk orðsifjabók, Reykjavík: Árni Magnússon Institute for Icelandic Studies, →ISBN (Available at Málið.is under the “Eldri orðabækur” tab.)
