I wouldn't want to say/write "aier" in Romanian
even under torture. ;-) ([a-yer] is simply *bad*
Romanian; in its pronunciation, there is no
semi-vowel between [a] and [e])

And I added in Romanian, in brackets, that in
the rest of the declension cases they have the
same forms.

what you seem to have missed is that, in the
nominative, the Latin word for the metal is AES
(with an S as in Sierra), whereas the Latin word
for "Luft" is AER (with an R as in Romeo).
