-i and -u Nouns
Now we'll study the nouns that end in -i and -u. These nouns appear in all three genders. Except for a single ending, the -i stems and -u stems have completely parallel endings.
Masculine
Take a look at the endings below. They're a mix of the normal noun endings and the -a noun endings. What makes them distinct is that the noun stem's final vowel is occasionally strengthened.

Neuter
The neuter nouns actually use the regular consonant endings. But, the -i singular acts as if the stem is actually -in. The -u singular behaves in a parallel way.
