Noun

  1. hill (genitive plural)

Declension

Only attested in the genitive plural. The exact gender of this noun can not be determined from that form alone, so the nominative singular (lemma) form could be either *πŒ·πŒ»πŒ°πŒΉπŒ½πƒ (*hlains) (a-stem masculine or i-stem masculine or feminine) or *𐌷𐌻𐌰𐌹𐌽 (*hlain) (a-stem neuter). Due to this uncertainty, no inflection table is given here.
