I forgot to mention that Loewe distinguishes between the reflexes of
circumflexed and acute long vowels and diphthongs (à la Balto-Slavic). For
instance, the instrumental *-oh1 (acute) or a:-stem Nsg. *-ah2 are
shortened in all of Germanic (Goth. -a, NWGmc -u), while the ablative *-o:t
(circumflex accentuation) remains long in Gothic (Goth -o:, ON/OE -a,
OS/OHG -o). In the case of *o: I have used the notation *-o:
(ex-circumflex) vs. *-o (ex-acute). I don't know if this analysis is still
fashionable. I can find no fault with it.
The C-stems were in PIE:
strong:
N *-s (< **-z)
A *-m.
V *-0
n *-0
weak:
G *-és or *-os
D *-éi
L *-i
I *-éh1 or *-ét
Ab [wanting, expected *-ot]
strong:
Np *-es
n. *-&2
weak/strong:
A *-n.s
weak:
G *-om or *-o:m
doubly weak:
DAb *-bhiós
I *-bhís or *-bhí:s
L *-sú or *-sí
In Germanic, that should give:
Goth. ON OE OS OHG
N *-z baúrg-s mOrk burg burg burg
A *-uN baúrg [1] mOrk burg burg burg
n *-0 (-0)
G *-iz (*-az) baúrg-s merk-r [5] byrg burges [6] burg
D *-i(:) baúrg mOrk byrg burg burg
N *-iz baúrg-s merk-r byrg burg-i [7] burg
A *-uNz baúrg-s [2] merk-r byrg burg-i burg
n *-a (-0)
G *-o:N (*-aN) baúrg-e: [3] mark-a byrg-a burg-o burg-o
D *-(u)miz baúrg-im [4] mOrk-om burg-um burg-un burg-um
[1] for expected baúrg-u, analogical after e.g. o-stem -s/-0.
[2] the acc.pl. has merged with the Npl. everywhere.
[3] with Gothic Gpl. -e: instead of -o:
[4] -im for -um after the i-stems?
[5] ON/OE Umlaut shows that PGmc was *-iz not *-az.
[6] Gsg. -es after the o-stems.
[7] NApl. -i after i-stems.

I'll leave the further derivation of the different Goth, ON, OE, OS and OHG
forms as an exercise for the reader...
