The "Gerlyver Meur" says that "Until the discovery of BK., the plural
was unattested. The plural found in BK. is vethogyan [...]"

If you have that dictionary, the entire note may be interesting, as it
explains why KK decided to switch their spelling from "medhyk" to
"medhek", despite the Latin word, and with more weight on attested
forms.

What is the plural form of this word in KS? Presumably spelled with an
-o- like the attested form? (Disclaimer: I do not have a copy of
Bewnans Ke and have not verified the spelling there. The citation
given is "BK10.29" if you wish to confirm it for yourself and correct
me.)

Cheers,
Philip
