====Usage notes====

The presence of two variants in Old Skundavisk, the original u-stem ''kattu'' and the innovated alternative a-stem ''katta'', explains the two possible genitives and plurals in the modern language. Northern speakers tend to use ''katts'' for both the genitive and the plural more often, while the Southern speakers use ''~~katt~~'' and ''kætte'' more frequently.
