Old Irish t-stem nouns.

These nouns are masculine or feminine, typically with the following endings:

  • in the nominative singular: the bare stem without final t and preceding unstressed vowel, with aspiration/gemination of the following word if ending in a vowel;
  • in the genitive singular: the bare stem with unpalatalized t (d or th when soft) and lowering of the stem vowel where possible;
  • in the nominative plural: the bare stem with palatalized t (d or th when soft).

The stem classes are named from the perspective of Proto-Celtic and may not still be visible in Old Irish inflections.
