Declension

The word is only attested in its accusative singular form and an apparently misspelled genitive plural (which are both not enough to distinguish between masculine and neuter a-stem nouns), so the gender cannot be determined with certainty: it may also have been a masculine a-stem *πŒ³πŒ°πŒ»πƒ (*dals). Both possible declensions are given below.
