Éi

Etymology 1
From, from. The development of the form may have been as follows: was a neuter and yielded  or (with a linking sound), originally singular and plural. Some dialects then reconstrued this form as a feminine singular (as in ), others backformed a new singular. Ultimately these last also became feminine and accordingly received the plural. Another dialectal variant is with lack of umlaut and unusual -ch- from West Germanic -h- (possibly from a geminated ; compare 🇨🇬).
