Neuter i-stem
The biggest animate neuter class, frequently encountered in gender paradigms to refer to people of unspecified gender. Neuter i-stem nouns have a null ending in nominative singular.
Conjugation of neuter i-stems is mostly identical to masculine i-stem, though it differs in nominative, vocative, accusative and genitive.

Wistrish neuter i-stem class does not have a conterpart in Gothic, as the class was lost there, but it has a (possible) counterpart in Proto-Germanic.
Note, that the nominative singular null-ending is also used by following classes*:
- Neuter a-stem
* Consonant stems that also technically have a null-ending in masculine singular are not included here.
