Although the singular of these nouns is neuter, the dual is considered feminine, and thus we have modré oči, blue eyes. When an adjective or a possessive pronoun is used with the instrumental for the sake of euphony, it takes a dual form, as slyšel sem to svýma vlastníma usima, I heard it with my own ears.
this declension are písmeno, the letter (of the alphabet); plemeno, the race; rameno, the arm ; semeno, the seed; temeno, the top of the head.

To this declension properly belong oko, the eye, and ucho, the ear, which are thus declined. The singular is like the ordinary neuter substantive in -0; the plural has disappeared except in a few special uses and is now supplied by the dual. Thus :—
N. oči, the eyes
G. oc-i
