Etymology edit
Pronunciation edit
Noun edit
forc (gender unknown)
Inflection edit
Only the nominative singular and the genitive plural are attested; both forms are forc.
The gender is unknown; the Latin etymon is feminine and the modern Irish and Scottish Gaelic descendants are masculine, but the word is not well attested enough to tell when the gender switch happened.
