miotów

Miotów is the genitive plural form of the Polish noun miot. The primary meaning of miot is a litter of offspring—animals born at the same time, such as kittens, puppies or rabbits. In breeding and veterinary contexts, the term is used to refer to a single litter (miot) or to multiple litters (mioty). The word is masculine, with the basic forms: singular nominative miot; genitive singular miotu; plural nominative mioty; genitive plural miotów.

In usage, miotów appears mostly in constructions that require the genitive plural, such as after numerals or words indicating quantity. For example: liczba miotów kotów w hodowli rośnie; w tym roku urodziły się dwa mioty psów. The phrase miotów kotów means litters belonging to cats, or litters of cats, depending on the surrounding context.

Beyond breeding terminology, miot is a specialized zoological term and is not commonly used outside veterinary, breeding, or animal care writing. The genitive plural form miotów is needed when talking about several litters or when the noun is controlled by another element in the sentence that requires the genitive case.

Overall, miotów functions as a precise grammatical form tied to the concept of litters, underscoring the time-coordinated birth of multiple young rather than a generic group.
