Declension

The genitive singular is unattested, but its nominative, accusative and dative singulars are all miscuis. It is usually assumed to be an i-stem. The n-stem forms in later Irish are by analogy with accuis (cause), which is justified in having n-stem inflection due to its derivation from Latin occāsiō.
