Notes
- Eclipsis with singular definite articles does not apply to nouns beginning with
t-, d- & s-. - Superscripts in the 1st column refer to sounds that used to be part of the language but
are now gone. c: consonant, v: vowel. Others (t, n)
mean the specific letter given, e.g. le was once let. - thríd is aspirated. Almost /s’ri:d’/ .
- seachas used to be a noun (“exception”) and then took the genitive.
- gan ← gana. gan: If the noun has an adjective, there is no lenition.
-
go is cognate to comh- “mutual, joint, common, co-” and Latin
cum.
go dtí ← com tí (result of the
nasal).
ar /er’/ ← aire. r is slender because it used to be between two
slenderizing vowels. Since it used to end in a vowel, it lenites.
ó has not changed much from pIE.
