Some I-stems have a completely irregular nominative singular:
       j#qE1;R lapattë, j#qE1T+\ lapatsi- "rabbit"
       t#d1R mahtë, t#a|G\ maxi- "hold, grip"
       `Nd1R ohtë, `Na|G\ oxi- "egg"
       iUd1R suhtë, iUa|G\ suxi- "resin, gum"
A few remarks:
* The noun `Vd1R ehtë "spear" can be inflected as an I-stem or as a noun without I-stem.
* The noun j%x$ lingwë "fish" has an alternative nominative singular j%5nR linwë. All other cases are formed with the stem j%x%\ lingwi-.
* The adjectives in \`V –ë also belong to the I-stems, but one can only notice this when the adjective takes case endings (see Inflected adjectives).
