Nasalisation fix[edit]

Nominative, Vocative, and Accusative singular should all trigger nasalisation as well. See page 5 of Old Irish Paradigms by Strachan (fourth edition), and page 75 of Sengoídelc by Stifter. As a general rule, as well, accusative singular for ALL Old Irish nouns trigger nasalisation due to their Proto-Celtic endings of a nasalised consonant in accusative singular (e.g., “-m”). — This unsigned comment was added by MacArtair (talkcontribs) at 17:44, 10 December 2021‎ (UTC).

@MacArtair: And of course it's not just this noun, it's all the neuter io-stems. The problem was in the template {{sga-decl-io-neut}}, which I have now fixed. I think when I made that template, I simply copy-pasted from {{sga-decl-io-masc}} and failed to make all the necessary alterations. (It originally said the vocative singular ended in -i, which is of course nonsense; I fixed that now too.) —Mahāgaja · talk 18:34, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, good point about all neuter io-stems. I hadn’t checked other neuter io-stem pages, and cited those sources simply because they also use “cride” as their exemplar for neuter io-stem. I only noticed the vocative singular ending after submitting my comment; I was on mobile and have only edited a couple pages so didn’t quite trust myself to format an edit correctly whilst on my phone! Thanks a million for the fix! MacArtair (talk) 20:31, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
