Notes on inflection:

The stem declines as a strong q-stem with up-declension and metathesis. Note also the special, archaic absolutive 4sg/sg form with N{'-i}, which also may trigger metathesis, i.e. orngi. However, according to Ordbogeeraq [JP67], it may alternative also just delete the final /q/, in which case the stem-internal /ə/ does not change, but just retains the sound [i].
