Examples

Adjectives in the dative case receive pronominal endings (this might be the result of a more recent development): tas geras vaikas -> sg. tam geram vaikui, pl. tiems geriems vaikams. Source: Internet

Feminine forms are always regular, but the stem vowel sometimes alternates in the masculine forms: *fem. bial (sg.) – biala (pl.) 'good' *masc. bien (sg.) – buns (pl.) 'good'. Source: Internet

The dative case in Latvian underwent further simplifications - the original masculine endings of both nouns and adjectives have been replaced with pronominal inflections: tas vīrs -> sg. tam vīram, pl. tiem vīriem. Source: Internet
