Old Irish g-stem nouns.
These nouns are masculine or feminine, typically with the following endings:
- in the nominative singular: the bare stem without final g 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 g or ch and lowering of the stem vowel where possible;
- in the nominative plural: the bare stem with palatalized g.
The stem classes are named from the perspective of Proto-Celtic and may not still be visible in Old Irish inflections.
