Irish in the Albionian timeline has absorbed significant Albionian influence, and Slavic elements even penetrated grammar and grammatical morphemes.
Nouns
The neuter gender and dative plural -aibh is preserved but there are fewer declension classes. The nominative plural of masculines and feminines is uniformly -(a)i /ɪ/ (by Slavic influence) and plural of neuters is usually -a.
The indefinite article is den (from den 'from the' + Slavic *edìn 'one'); it or lack thereof is part of the case/number/gender declension.
