female name in legendary material. I have found no nom. Eire, Ire, 

 corresponding to *Ercis, the nom. supplied by Ehys and Macalister, doubtless 

 on the assumption that -las must arise from -is. There is also a masculine 

 nom. Ere, gen. Eire, Ire, just as there is a masculine Medh, Saclh, etc. 



Gossucttias 41, Grosocteas 108, Gosoctas 223. Gosoctas, I think, represents

 from Gosoehte like Erca from Erce. L. Arm. has Gosacht, Gosact-us, Gosaeh [t]-us- 

 The Martyrology of Tallaght has Guasacht as the name of the same person, 

 bishop of Granard. It is the abstract noun r/uasaeht, ' jJerici'Mm' which 

 Windisch gives as masculine.
