Etymology
Back-formation from the genitive singular and nominative plural and dative singular, ultimately from. In Primitive Irish, the genitive singular (attested as ) raised to  and then the resulting *i was rounded by the initial labiovelar to result in Old Irish. In case-forms without raising, the etymological e remained as such since it was not regularly rounded by labiovelars, hence an original nominative singular. Since u in o-stem nouns usually alternates with o, not e (which usually alternates with i in o-stems), two separate nouns,  and  arose.

Noun

 * 1) leader
 * 2) adult, grown-up
 * 3) sense, intelligence
