Dear List Members;

RE: Changeable stem nominal paradigms

Sorry, for not using Velthius in previous posting, correction follows:

Irregular nouns whose declension use more than one stem include at least:

kammaan
yuvan (young man)
brahman (god)
raajaan (king)
namaan
bhava.m
attan (self)
san (dog)

[note: from Collins, pp. 59-60; Warder, 184-185]

Is there just a small list of these multiple stem or changeable stem nouns?

With metta,
Jon Fernquest
