[edit]Reconstruction notes
[edit]- It is impossible to tell whether this word was an o-stem or a u-stem; Brittonic is useless for this purpose due to the sheer productivity of their plural endings, and this term only exists in derived suffixed terms in Goidelic.

- ⇒ Irish: casacht
- ⇒ Scottish Gaelic: casachd
