Heldin f
The nominative singular of thejō-stems (Proto-West Germanic*-ī) was originally uninflected like theō-stems; and the accusative form usually took its place. The old nominative singular is preserved in fem. personal names, and in the derivatives ending in*-inī and*-unjō. Thejō-stems show in the oldest documents instead of-jō the ending-e and retain thej beforeo, u. From the 9th C. onwards, their inflection entirely coincides with that of the ō-stems, with-a replacing-e.[1]
