Inflection
editThurneysen believed that this noun was neuter, and dismissed the Milan glosses' clear masculine paradigm (int erchót in Ml. 61c8) as an aberration triggered by an early loss of the neuter. In fact, erchót is feminine everywhere else, such as the Táin Bó Cúailnge and the Turin glosses on the Second Epistle of Peter.
