That sounds well. I see it as part of the verb to eat - to follow your example  - is not
 
"he eats,  the same as he is eating,"  then maybe it could be said in either way
 
I shall see - if I can find this for you  "A New Introduction to Old Norse" might have it

I think I know but I'm too new at this to give an answer;
Take a verb, "to eat". In english we say the one who is doing the verb is the "eater" and the action can be described as "eating". So how does "eat" become "eater" or "eating"?

As Eyja said, the nominative plural of <Áss> is <Æsir>.  <Áss> is a
u-stem, so it forms its plural in <-ir>, which triggers i-mutation
of the root vowel if that's possible, and the i-mutation of <á> is
<æ>.

Not sure what you're asking here.
