Declension
Only attested in the genitive singular π°π
πΉππππΉπ (awistris), which makes an a-stem (masculine or neuter) and a masculine i-stem equally likely possibilities. However, the existence of π²πΉπ»πππ (gilstr, βtaxβ) and π·πΏπ»πΉπππ n (hulistr, βveilβ), both a-stems and seemingly featuring the same suffix (to π²πΉπ»π³ (gild, βtaxβ) and π·πΏπ»πΎπ°π½ (huljan, βto coverβ)), tilts the evidence in favor of a neuter a-stem.
