Old Irish neuter nt-stem nouns.
These nouns are neuter, typically with the following endings:
- in the nominative singular: the bare stem including final t, with nasalization of the following word;
- in the genitive singular: the bare stem with unpalatalized t and lowering of the stem vowel where possible;
- in the nominative plural: the bare stem with unpalatalized t and lenition 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. In this case, sound changes leading up to Old Irish deleted the underlying n in all forms.
