Notes on declension:

The stem inflects as a regular k-stem with up-declension. Note also the special form panni with the archaic absolutive 4sg/sg ending N{'-i}, which causes gemination of /n/ to /nn/.

According to Kleinschmidt [SK71], the alternative form with the normal absolutive 4sg/sg possessive ending is panini, rather than the expected paninni, indicating that the stem-final /k/ was removed, even in singular. It is not clear why this should be the case, so we record that form here as an alternative beside paninni.

Ordbogeeraq [JP67] also mentions the ergative singular form paniip, i.e. indicating that the stem should be ip-declined, rather than up-declined as usual. We record this form as an alternative below, but this form is likely not commonly used.
