Old Irish s-stem nouns.
These nouns are neuter, typically with the following endings:
- in the nominative singular: the bare stem with nasalization of the following word;
- in the genitive singular: -e, usually with raising of the stem vowel where possible, along with aspiration/gemination of the following word;
- in the nominative plural: -e, usually with raising of the stem vowel where possible, along with 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.
