Neuter nouns

Almost all neuter nouns follow the first of those patterns.

The weak neuter declension contains only a few words - but is included here for reasons of symmetry.

The nominative and the accusative case forms of neuter words are always the same. It doesn't matter if it's singular or plural, weak or strong, pronoun, noun or adjective - they're always the same. This is one of those common Indo-European things. You will encounter the same in Latin, German, Greek, Sanskrit etc.

Note the u-umlaut in the plural even though there is no u in the ending. The u disappeared in late Proto-Norse but it caused mutation in its death throes. Proto Norse *landu becomes Old Norse lönd.
