Declension
The singular takes o-stem endings, the dual takes mostly i-stem endings, and the plural takes s-stem endings. Nonetheless оухо is conventionally considered an s-stem. Halla-aho considers the dual forms a remnant of an original i-stem which later became an s-stem, but Derksen reconstructs the Proto-Slavic form as an o-stem instead.
Reconstructed:
Declension of оухо (irregular s-stem)
Attested:
†Only attested in later Church Slavonic.
