Old Irish k-stem nouns.

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

  • in the nominative singular: the bare stem without final c 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 c or ch and lowering of the stem vowel where possible;
  • in the nominative plural: the bare stem with palatalized c (g when soft).

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