Skundavisk
Etymology
From Middle Skundavisk katt, from Old Skundavisk katta, kattu, from Halmisk kattu, kattuŕ, from Proto-Germanic *kattuz.
Pronunciation
IPA: /kʰat/
Noun
katt m. (class 1 or 3a, genitive katts or kætt, plural katts or kætte)
- cat
- The katt feng een mous.
- The cat caught a mouse.
- The katt feng een mous.
Usage notes
The presence of two variants in Old Skundavisk, the original u-stem kattu and the innovated alternative a-stem katta, explains the two possible genitives and plurals in the modern language. Northern speakers tend to use katts for both the genitive and the plural more often, while the Southern speakers use katt and kætte more frequently.
