Inflection
Initial mutations of a following adjective:
- H = triggers aspiration
- L = triggers lenition
- N = triggers nasalization
The nominative plural form persin is irregular and probably an intrusion from the n-stems, keeping in mind this word's transition to the n-stems from Middle Irish onwards. In the n-stems, -(a)in is regular for the nominative plural.
