Pronunciation

Inflection
Verner alternation was preserved in this noun, so that some forms had the stem *haz-. But the distribution of the alternants is currently unknown. According to Kroonen, this noun also contained vowel ablaut in its declension, for example between nominative singular *hesô and genitive singular *haznaz.[1]
