Inflection

[edit]

This noun possessed a peculiar declension. In the singular and dual, it was generally indeclinable in form, but its singular forms triggered mutations. But in the plural, it rather obviously inflected like a feminine ā-stem with an etymologically superfluous -g- in the stem.

Feminine ā-stem
Singular Dual Plural
Nominative L, N L lígaH
Vocative L L lígaH
Accusative N L lígaH
Genitive H L lígN
Dative L lígaib lígaib
Initial mutations of a following adjective:
  • H = triggers aspiration
  • L = triggers lenition
  • N = triggers nasalization

Derived terms

[edit]
  • lígach (beautiful, lustrous)
