Old Irish iā-stem nouns.
These nouns are feminine, typically with the following endings:
- in the nominative singular: -e (-ae after an unpalatalized stem), with lenition of the following word;
- in the genitive singular: -e (-ae after an unpalatalized stem), with aspiration/gemination of the following word;
- in the nominative plural: -i (-ai after an unpalatalized stem), with aspiration/gemination of the following word.
The stem classes are named from the perspective of Proto-Celtic and may not still be visible in Old Irish inflections. These nouns derive from Proto-Celtic *-iā endings. Originally the endings were the same as that of the ā-stems, but later sound changes caused the two classes to diverge significantly.
