KEY.
A has six sounds in the Key.
a long, like a in fame, came, tame.
a, a, à^, is the short sound of the last, as
a in fate, rate, gate, final.
a is the sound of a in far, far, star, star.
a is the short soft sound of the last ; as, in
farm, farm.
a is the short and shut sound of a, as in
can.
i is the nasal sound. The only sounds
that approach this, in English, is a in
palm, calm, psalm. It occurs uniform-
ly before m, rah, and n— sometimes be-
fore th ; as, in mathair, viother ; àth, a
ford ; nathair, a serpent ; math, good,
and its derivatives ; athar, sky, firma-
ment ; — in some words n is introduced
for r in order to give it the nasal sound ;
as in canran, mànran, mànrach, màrr-
an, kàrr-an, màrr-ach; also mànr,
marr, to obstruct ; — ai placed before
mh, &c. has the same sound, or one
nearly allied to ai in sprain, strain,
brains, as the Scotch pronounce these
words :— marked in the key sprèn,
strèn, brèns.
à is the short nasal sound ; è before n,
&e. the short one of ai or àè.
à in participles • thus, tyà sounds like
short u or ao shorter a little, chyao.
ào has nothing like it in English ; a pretty
correct idea may be formed of it by
pronouncing the u, in the surname
Bums, long; also u in gun, without
touching the -rns in the first instance,
and the -n in the latter. Bao — gao—
the French eu is somewhat like it.
a6 is the short sound of the last.
E has two sounds, long and short.
è long, like ee in teem, seem ; feed, hired
è, è, è-, is the short of the above.
è long, as e in there, pronounced long
ther— the y^ of the Greeks, as the Scotch
and Foreigners pronounce it.
è is the short sound of the last.
Before v, representing mh and n, it has
a nasal sound— see a nasal changed
into ai— also representing ea or eu ;
as Neumh or Neamh, nèv. Heaven,
neamh, nev, venom.
I has one sound long and short; as, y in
my, thy ; mi, thi, short; as i in sight,
might, sit, mit.
O has four sounds, long and short.
6, as o in more, mor, tone, ton, pole, pel.
Ò, o, Ò-, short sound of the above.
6 sounds like o in lord, lord, cord, kOrd.
Ò is the short of the last ; o shorter.
Ò is the long nasal sound, occurring uni-
formly before mh, and sometimes be-
fore n ; in many instances the nasal
sound of occurs otherwise placed ; as,
in mod, a court of justice, being a con-
traction of momhad ; also mo, contrac-
tion of momha, greater ; also moit, fas-
tidiousness ; mothuT, a horrifyingvoice;
glothar, gag; mògharr bland. The true
orthography is momhar, glomhar, &c
6 is the short nasal sound of o. Even be-
fore n, o sounds likeo in pole, sole, &c.
sometimes; as, tonn, t52nn, a wave;
n is introduced sometimes to give the
nasal sounds merely; thus ònrachd,
sònraich, òrr-achg, sòrrèch; the same
as ànrath, àrr-aA in a nasal.
U has a great number of sounds.
Ù sounds as u in pure, cure, tune.
Ù, ii, is the short sound of the last.
Ù sounds as oo in moor, cool, tool.
Ù is the short sound of the last.
Ù is the same as the French u nearly.
Ù is the French short sound,
u the same as the u in under, or un- a pre-
fix.
i is a contraction to save room, and repre-
sents the primitive sound ao-gh', being
a kind of a syllable and a half. See -gh".
-Gh', an idea of this original sound. It is
a kind of an ineffectual effort to disjoint
your jaws without touching the palate or
teeth with your tongue, and at the same
time making a strong respiration. It is
nearly akin to the Greek x- I' 'S not
possible, without oral instruction, to con-
vey an adequate idea of -gh'.
v2, this representing mh, shews that the v
is only slightly sounded, the object of mh
being chiefly to give the nasal twang to
the preceding vowel.
112, Uy', shews that the U is liquified, as in
filial, fe-Iyal ; for 11 and nn initial, see I
and n in the Grammar,
id, de.— This is represented by èj. It is said
that it does not express the true sound.
If not, Walker, and Fulton and Knight,
must be wrong in pronouncing age, aj ;
a
VI
tedious, tej-us, and te-jus, tè-dyus. This
sound, when not final, is often exhibited
thus, deug, dyag.
en, ènn, is often not marked at all, the
last n being always liquified, enny';
sometimes marked èn', èny', and nn' and
nny'.
ty'.— This sound is found in Chrisfianity,
Kris-tyè-, or ehè-an.è-tè. The t is thus
liquified often by putting j before it,
thus, sagairt, sag-aijt, a priest ; and some-
times by marking it t'.
eu shews also the short sound of a, gs in
beag, beug ; ea is the short form of eu,
which is always long; eu, ea, ei, are
styled always diphthongs : With the ex-
ception of the very peculiar sound ao, I
do not think there is such in the lan-
guage, eu long, and its short sounds ea
and ei, having both the vowels sounded.
Thus, feum, fa-um, the um being pro-
nounced so quick, that they almost form
one syllable. They form a syllable and a
half, as is seen in ui and oi in buil, toil,
bCi'l, to'l, i. e. bù-ul, to-ul, being two
syllables thrown almost into one.
The orthography of the Gaelic, shews more
acuteness and ingenuity in its structure,
than any other language the author knows
any thing of. It is said, that mh and bh
should give way to v ;— no such thing ! !
Bh represents the simple form of v, and
mh of V, following the nasal sound ; and,
besides, bh is only an occasional or acci-
dental form: thus, bo, a cow; a' bho,
uv.vAò, the cow :— hence the absurd
whim that entered the heads of other-
wise sensible and respectable people, of
changing the orthography ; i. e. making
the Unknown Tongue of the Gaelic

RUDIMENTS OF GAELIC GRAMMAR.
PART I. Op Orthography. The
Gaelic Alphabet has eigliteen letters, a, b,
c, d, e, f, g, h, i, 1, m, n, o, p, r, s, t, u ;
of which five are vowels, a, e, i, o, u ; the
rest consonants.
Of Vowels. A represents three differ-
ent sounds ; 1. a as in bar, as càs, predica-
ment ; short, as a in cat. The third sound
is rather a peculiar one, being the short
sound of ao (which see explained in the
Key), and is generally before dh and gh, as
stadh, agh, a swathe of grass, a heifer,
— in the articles and plural of nouns a
sounds like u shut ; as, an duine, un dùèn'-
ao, tlie man.
E has three different sounds ; 1st, è like
the Greek ij, as pronounced in Scotland and
on the Continent, ore long in where, whèr;
2d, sounds like a in fame, as, re an latha,
during the day ; 3d, e final has tlie sound
of a (ao) in agh, a heifer, beannaichte,
byann-èch-tyao, blessed.
I sounds like ee in English when marked
thus, i, as sith, sheeh, peace ; slnn, stretch,
rlgh, rreeh, king ; short, as ee in feet, bith,
being, existence.
O has three different sounds both short
and long; as o in lord, òl, drinking, gòr-
zch, foolish; 2d, like o in fold; as, cos, a
sponge, kos — short when not marked ; as,
borb, turbulent ; god, toss the head ; od, lorn,
Horn, bare, like o in mote, a particle of
dust. Before mh, and sometimes ra and n,
it has a nasal sound to which there is no si-
milar sound in English. See the Key. o
sounds ao or u shut in do, thy, ino, my,—
(do, mo, should be du, mu).
U has four soimds long and short ; long,
as 00 in moon ; as, ùr, fresh, new ; short,
as, ugh, an egg, like oo in fool or u in bush.
In gu, and rud, and cuthach, its shut sound,
has, gao, raod, cao-hueh. See Key.
Diphthongs. There are thirteen of
these, ai, ae, ao ; ea, ei, eu ; ia, io, iu ; oi ;
ua, ui ; of which, ao, eu, ia, ua, are always
long; — ao, eu, are styled by our Gramma-
rians, improper diphthongs, because, pro-
perly speaking, there are no diphthongs but
themselves in the Gaelic, ia, &c. being
double sounds, (ea);— ae, never occurs but in
Gael, a Highlander.
Ai sounds like i in like; or ae. Ai
sounds often aòè ; as, gairm, a call, tairbh,
bulls, mairbh, the dead, airm, arms,
gairbhe, grosser. The a in these and many
other instances represent the short sound
ofao, which is always long, as in /aoiAar,
edge of a tool. It is, however, very often
in this shape, very stupidly changed into
Oj as, clann, cloinne, faighidinn./oJ^/iM-
inn. By the bye, it is not using us in Ar-
gyle politely, to write this word foighidinn,
seeing it is impossible to pronounce it
fijj-èj-èny2, whereas others may, quite con-
sistently, pronounce faighdinn, fao-èj-èny2._
Ea like è ; as, fear, fèr or fe-ur (short),'
sometimes sounds ya; as, cealg, kyalag,
deceit.
Ei is the short sound of eu generally, but
sometimes sounds both vowels; as, feidh,
faey, deer ; 2d, like a ; as, rèidh, ra, plain,
level; but if spelt as it should be, reudh,
there would be no occasion for making e
thus, Ò.
Eo sounds yò ; as ceo, Kyaw, mist.
Ia sounds ea ; as fiar, (fear,) oblique ; but
in cia, what ? and iad, ia, is pronounced a
and è, kà, èd, — properly cè, eud.
Io generally sounds eu, the u being for
the most part shut, as in under ; as sior shè-
ur or she'r, ever; sometimes the io sounds
like èù or ù of the French, as iongantas,
eaong-ant-as, fyonder. In some places the
o is uniformly mispronounced ù, — hence
such absurdities as grùthach for griobhach,
grev-ach, the measles.
Iu sounds u or eCi ; as fiii, fu, or feu ;
sometimes yu, as diult, dyQlt, refuse.
Oi is very apt to be mispronounced also,
— hence, buin for boin, touch ; uidhche for
oidhche, night, — for the most part is mis-
pronounced Ù ; as much for moch, early ;
fulbh for folbh, go ; mult for molt, a wed-
der; uircean for oircean (or Toircean), a
pigling ; oi for the most part sounds both
its vov/els; thus, doigh, dòèy', method;
sometimes it is used for ai ; as goir for gair,
gaor', crow as a cock ; coinneal for cainneal,
a2
RUDIMENTS OF GAELIC GRAMMAR.
a candle ; sometimes the long sound of ai
IS improperly used for this; as maothais
for maghais, mao.ash, procrastination or
loitering in the fields ; from magh, a plain.
Ua sounds both letters ; as fuar, fùàr,
cold; before gh, th, dh, the a sometimes
sounds ao ; as sluagh, slùaogh, a multitude.
Ao,— see ao in the Key.
Eu sounds both its letters properly,
though said to be but one sound, like a in
fame, — see Key ; — many words are spelt
with eu in place of ia ; thus ceud, a hun-
dred, should be ciad, kèàd, being the u-
niversal pronunciation :— also ceudna for
ciadhna; also eu is mispronounced in many
places ca : as eun, can, in place of è'n, a
bird ; seum, shèm, a petition, shèàm ; it
has three sounds as at present retained in
use, — thus, Ist, feum, fa-m or fa-um,
need, use. 2rf, beul, breug, feur, be'll,
brè'gg, fè'r, mouth, a lie; in these three
words and others, e sounds like the Greek
u, and u as in ugly, but pronounced quick.
Triphthoxos are five; aoi, eoi, iai,
uai, iui. They are pronounced often dif-
ferently from the diphthongs from which
they are derived;— thus, caoidh, kùèy', <o
lament ; naoidh, nùèy', 7iine, and not kaòèy,
naòey'; they are all long, — occurring al-
ways in monosyllables and the first of poly-
syllables.
Consonants are twelve in number ; b,
c, d, f, g, m, n, p, r, s, t, and h which is
rather an aspiration ; they have been clas-
sified thus.
Labials, b, f, m, p.
Palatals, c, g.
Dentals, d, t, s.
Linguals, 1, n, r.
Of these b, c, d, f, g, m, p, s, t, arc mu-
table or liable to be aspirated, in which
state their simple or primary sound is ei-
ther changed or lost ; thus, staid, dh' fhan,
pronoimced stajj, ghan ; bha, vvhà, was,
thuit, hCejt, fell, &c.
Labials. B has a simple sound some-
what harder than b or p in English; as
buain, shear ; boin, touch ; bh sounds like
V ; bhuain, bhoin, did shear, did touch, —
at the end of words, it is very wickedly
murdered, in some places u ; as searbh,
sheru, in place of shervv, as properly pro.
nounced in the Islands. In the middle of
words it is often silent ; as soirbheas, soèr-as,
wind, success, easiness; doirbheas, doer -as,
difficulty of accomplishment.
F sounds as f in English ; f h is silent ex-
cept in fhuair, fhèin, hùàèr, hàèn, J'ound,
self.
M the same as in English, — mh sounds
V, never u, bh and mh initial, have a dou-
ble sound ; thus, a' bho, uv.vhò, his cow ;
a bhalaich, uv.vhal-èch, ye fellow, ye boor;
mh serves very often only to give a nasal
sound to a or o; not so in i-amh, tamh, rav,
tàv, an oar, rest; it is silent always in the
prefix comh, but giving the nasal sound ;
also in dhomh, ghò, &c.
P sounds as in English, but f when as-
pirated— phaidh, fàèy', did pay.
Palatals. C sounds like English K
when initial; as ceann, kyaun, a head;
Jinal sounds chg often ; as, mac, machg, a
son ; tac, tachg, choke ; ch sounds like ^
Greek, or gh Irish, or ch in the surname
Strac/fan, as the Scotch pronounce it.
G sounds as in English— for gh, see the
Key.
DEifTALS. D is more dental than the d
in English; it is more a-kin to the Italian
and French d ; d preceded or followed by
i sounds j or ch as in child ; as, bhòid, vhòj,
or vhòcA, of Bute ; — sounds g in the syllable
achd, achg, dh initial sounds often like y,
and sometimes like gh. See Key.
T sounds like the French or Italian t or
'it initial ; as, tamh, ttàv or utiàv almost ;
followed by i or e, it sounds like ch in child
or ti in Chritianity ; as, teinn, tyàènn or
chàènn', a strait, predicament; it is silent
before A— thus, thoir, thalla, hòèr, hà'1-à,
give, come along;— \.\\ final sounds general-
ly h; as, slth, sheA peace, fairy. like.
S preceded or followed by i or e sounds
sh ; sean, shen, old; sion, she'n, the blast ;
except is, uss, am, and ; followed by d, t,
I or n, it sounds nearly sh, or rather shj ;
as, stìùir, sjuir or ushtyuèr, steer, direct
sniomh, shnev, spin, snamh, usnav, swim
sh intial sounds h; seòl, sail, sheol hyoil,
did saU.
LiNGt'ALs. L has often a double sound,
quite unlike any thing in English. The
first I has this sound particularly; thus,
lamh, a hand, sounds somewhat like llav
or ullàv. This sound is very evident in the
masculine genitive; thus, a litir, his letter,
pronounced, uU-lè-tyèr — again, a litir, her
letter, pronounced, a6-lyèt-tyèr. It has the
double sound followed by itself or a, o, u ;
as,/a//an, healthy; lan,full;~ll either be-
fore or after e or i sounds as 1 in the Eng-
lish adjective ^/ia/, fè-lyal, or the Italian
gl, or the French 11 after ai, or gl in se-
ragho. LI following a, o, or u, has a
sound somewhat like ull, in ultimate, if
you make the pronunciation dental instead
of palatal.
2rf, N sounds like the first n in opinion,
o-pcny2nyun, or òii-ènySun, when pre-
ceded or followed by i or e; as, nigh,
nyèh, wash ; linn, Uyènny', a generation ;
bi7in, bbènny', melodious. The e preced-
ing a, ever gives this sound to the n ; thus,
RUDIMENTS OF GAELIC GRAMMAR.
XI
Ailpean, Binnean, CuVean, Ailp-àny',
Bènny'-àny', Kù'l-àny', Alpine, a pinnacle,
a whelp. Even in the genitive, the nasal
sound of the a is retained though the very a
is thrown out. — Ailpein, Binnein, A'lp-àèn',
bènn-à(-n', owing to the very absurd adhe-
rence, in every instance to the rule, coal,
ri caol, &c. ;— there is no rule without ex.
ception, and why not write these and simi-
ar nouns, Ailpain, Cuilain, Binneain. 2rf,
n has a double initial sound, to which there
is no similar sound in English ; nuadb,
unnùà or unùàgh. This occurs in verbs in
the imperative or masculine adjectives,
the n being followed by a, o, or u. òd, n
sounds r when followed by m or c, the ob-
ject being to give the nasal sound to the
vowel characteristic; cnaimh, kràèv or
krèiv, a bone ; mna, mrra, of a woman ;
mànran màrr-an, danderìjis, — lastly, when
the next word begins with c or g, an and
•tan, the article sounds ung and nung ; as
nan con, of the dogs, nung kon ; an Qomh.
■naidh, ung kòn-nnè, habitually.
R. \st, sounds like r in English; 2rf, pre-
ceded or followed by i, it has the French
sound similarly placed; coir, kory', worthy,
&c. Like the French, it has an initial
double sound; thus, A righ, ur-rèh, O king !
H is rather a singular letter ; it is used
either expressed or understood, in almost
every syllable of the Gaelic, and yet has no
place in a genuine Celt's alphabet.
n. Pabts OF Speech. There are nine
parts of speech; article, adjective, noun,
pronoun, verb, declinable ; -d, adverb, pre-
position, interjection, and conjunction, in-
declinable. 1st, The article is declined by
gender, number, and case ; and hence the
reason, that this trifling thing has hitherto
almost defied us, the Lexicographers, to
define in our Dictionaries, otherwise than
by styling it every thing that it is not.

Gexders are two, masculine and femin-
ine : 1st, nouns signifying males, the young
of animals, as laogh, calf, whether males or
females, nouns having o in the last syllable ;
as ceo, mist, soc, share, are masculine ; also,
diminutives in an, abstracts in as, deriva-
tives in iche, air, SjC. and native trees, are
Tnasculine ; as, caman, club or bandy, cear.
tas, justice, maraiehe, a seaman, dorsair,
a door-keeper, an daraich, the oak-tree,
are ma.scu/Ì7ie; likewise, nouns having a,
0, or u, for their characteristic, for the |
most part, are masailine ; as, fjeaehd, idea,
judgment, hixchA.bulk, roc, a sunk rock, ic.
Femi.m.nes. Names signifying/fmato, as
mathair, a mother; na-meutt countries, as,
an Fhraing, an Duidse, France, Holland,
Eirinn, Ireland; names of musical instru.
ments, as, òirinn-òirinn, piano-forte, cruit,
a harp, piob, bagpipes, nouns ending in aid;
as.neasgaid, staid, aboil, a slate; alsoderiva
tives in achd; as, firinteachd, righteousness,
derivatives in a^; as, nioghnag, a lass, and
abstracts in e, as doille gile, blindness,
whiteness, from dall, blind, and geal, white,
are feminine ; also nouns sometimes adjec-
tives in ac/i are feminine; as, gruagach, a
damsel, an spagach, the splayfooted lady, a'
mhiirlach, the woman with the ugly head of
hair, 4c.
Observations. Oganach, a young man,
òlach, a curious fellow, and many others
ending in ach are masculine j also names of
diseases ending in ach are feminine; as, a'
bhuidheach, the jaundice, a' ghriobhach,
the measles; also, an triogh, a* bhreac, the
hooping-cough, the small-por, aiefeminxne.
Many nouns of one syllable in au, as,
cuach, bruach, tuadh, a drinking cup, a
bank, a hatchet, are feminine.
Lastly, Some nouns are masculine in
the nominative, and feminine in the geni-
tive; as, Cruinne, the globe of the earth,
talamh, land, the earth ; gu cnch na talm/i-
ainn, to the extremity of the earth; agh-
aidh, na cruinne, the face of the globe ; an
talamh, the earth, the globe, masculine.
Boirionnach, afemale, bàta, a boat, and
mart, a cow — set all rules at defiance.
Declensions and Numbers. Though
Gaelic Grammar naturally divides itself into
six declensions, having that number of va-
rious modes of forming the genitive, yet
grammarians have restricted themselves to
two declensions. 1^/, Nouns having their
characteristic vowels, a, o, u, forming the
first ; '2d, Nouns whose last vowels are e or »,
the second j which arrangement we, in the
mean time, pretty nearly follow, meaning
at some future period, to make a distinct
Treatise on Gaelic Grammar. Nothing, in-
deed, can be more ludicrous than to see,
even the acute and learned Dr. Arm.
STRONG gravely stating, that the verb has
three Tenses, present, past, and future,
though he, in common with his prede.
cessors, has forgotten to give an instance
of a present tense, for the cogent rea-
son, that there is no such thing in the
language. Quite of piece with this, is the
first and second declension, and the
verb governing thenominatin place of the
\st Declension, according to t
xu
RUDIMENTS OF GAELIC GRAMMAR.
CEIVEDMODE. lj<, Teneral Rule. Nouns of
the first declension, form the genitive by in-
serting t before the last letter; as, padhadh,
thirst, a' phadhaiJh, of the thirst ; but
feminines of one syllable add a final e com-
monly; as, slat, a rod, cluas, ati ear, làmh,
hand, slaite, cluaise, laimhe, of a rod, of an
ear, of a hand.
2rf Rule. Nouns ending in a, o, u, e,
achd, eachd, iochd, have their genitive a-

trà, a time, mealofmeat; Qxb, a pen, afold ;
clìù, fame, character ; duine, a man, beann-
achd, blessing; beaehd, opinion, iochd, mer-
cy.— \>o, eu, &c are irregular, and are, with
all other aiiomalies, to be found nom. and
gen. in their respective places in the Dic-
tionary.
3d Rule. Nouns of one syllable end-
ing in dh, gh, th, um, rr, take a final in the
gen. ; as, stadh, bladh, stays, swathe of

To these rules there are few exceptions ;
rainn or roinn, a peninsula, ranna ; math-

each, fithich, of a raven.
Dative. \st. Nouns masculine have their
dative and nom. sing, alike— the dative fe-
minine is like the genitive. Tobar, nom.
sing. mas. dative tobar ;— misneach, nom.
fem. gen. and dat. misnich.
Note. The dative fem. is like the nora.
when the genitive is formed by contraction ;
as, piuthar, nom. and dat. genitive peatlu
ar ; sitheann, venison ; genitive sithne ;
dat. sitheann, like the nom. '2d, Words of
one syllable drop e from the genitive ; as,
cluas, lamh, nom. ; gen. cluaise, laimhe ;
dative, cluais, laimh. The accusative is
sometimes like the nom. and sometimes
like the genitive in Gaelic.
Vocative. The vocative sing, of mas.
monosyllables, is the genitive aspirated ; as,
Nom. Cu, dog Ccn. coin Voc. choin
Bard baird bhaird
RUDIMENTS OF GAELIC GRAMMAR.
XIU
5d Rule. Nouns mat. beginning with a
vowel have their roc. and gen. alike ; as,
nom. ord, a hammer, gm. iiird, roc. iiird ;
nom, amaid, a female foo/, geiu and voc.
amaid ; nom.oganach, young man, gen. and
voc. oganaich. od. Feminine nouns form
their vocative by aspirating their nomina-
tive; as, nom. gealach, moon, voc. gheal-
ach, moon ! nom. grian, the sun, voc
ghrian, fun '.
Plural Number. The nominative plu.
rat is formed from the nominative singxi-
lar by adding an (sometimes by way of sur-
prising people by a) ; as, srad, a spark of
fire, sradan, sparks ; rioghachd, a king-
dom ; riogfiachdan, kingdoms.
Special Riles Nom. Pl. Isf, A few dis-
syllables in ach, form the nom. plural from
the gen. sing, in aich by adding ean; as,
Ifom. Sing. Geru Sing. Kom. Plur.
Clarsacjh, Clarsaich, Clariaichean.
Mullach, Mullaich, MvUaichean.
2d, For the most part nouns in aich, in the
genitive sing, may have their nom. plural
alike ; as, ogtach, a young man ; gen. sing.
and nominative plural oglaich, of a young
man or of young men.
3d, Nouns in ar form their plural by
throwing away the ar and adding raichean ;
as, lobar, a well ; piulhar, a sister ; leobhar,
a book; tobraichean, wells; peathraichean,
listers •■, leobhraichean, books; latha, a day,
has laithean ; leaba, a bed, has leapaicliean.
ith Rile. Nouns that change ea into
i, in the genitive sing., have the nom. pl.
like the gen. sing. ; as, fear, fir, men or of
a man ; meall, mill, lumps ; geall, gill,
pledges; ceann, cmn, heads; meann, minn,
kids ; peann, p'lnn, pens, except beann, a
hill, beanntan, hills ; gleann, a valley, has
glinn, and gleanntan, valleys ; sliabh, has
slèibhtean, hill^ sides; sabhaW, has saibh-
lean, barns; bo, a cow, has ba, cows, in Ar-
gyle — in Perth, crodh; some has tan, but
very few ; reul, a star, has reultan, stars;
lion, a net, a snare, has liontan, nets ;
gniomh, a deed, act, has gnwmharan and
gn'wmhan; as the plural of overseer,
gniomhtan or grimh.
5th Rule. Words of one syUab'e has for
the most part the nom. plur. like the geni-
tive singular \ as, clag, a hell, e\u\g, bells ;
ball, bull, spots, articles; balls; bolg,
builg, bellows, begs, wallets; cat, cuit or
cait, cats; ceard, ceàird and ceardan, tink-
ers ; sloe, a pit, sluic, pits ; soc, suic,
shares ; toll, tuill, holes ;— some have two
plurals; mall, rent, màill and maltan ;
baile, lai'tean, towns; canna, a can, cann-
aichean, cans.
Genitive Plural is like the nominative
sing, in monosyllables ; as, bard, a poet,
gen. pl. nam bard, of the poets ; except
bean, a woman ; nam ban, of the women ;
cu, a dog, nan con, of the dogs: bo, a
cow, nam bo, (pro. baw, and nom. sing,
ba), of the cows ; coara, a sheep, nan coar-
ach, of the sheep ; sluagh, a multitude, ruin
sluagh, nf the multitudes, (nan slogh is
nonsense) ; ?d, also dissyllables that have
ean in the nom. pl. have the same in the
gen. pl. ; as, nom. and gen. plural, leap,
aichean, leobhraichean, tabhraichean, beds,
or of beds ; books, or of books ; wells, or of
wells.
Dative PLiTiALof words of one syllable,
ends in aibh or ibh, excepting words ending
in bh or mh, in which cast, the dative is
like the nominative plural; hence the ab-
surdity of writing na marbhaibh in place of
mairbh, tarbhaibh for tairbh. Note.— By
way of being superfine in Gaelic scholar-
ship, the best Celtic scholars write the tail
aibh, supposing it were as long as your
arm ! 2rf, dative plural is derived from the
nom. plural, when formed by lean or tan ;
as, beanntan, hills, beanntaibh, to the hills I
sleibhtean, hill sides, sUibhtibh, dative.
In like manner, Cuantan, Cuantaibh, O-
ceans ; fiadh, a deer, has feidh in nom. and
dat. plural ; some prefer sloigh to slauigh,
but we never used it ; baibh, a fury, damh,
an ox, a bullock; ràmh, an oar, tamh,
rest, have their nominatives and datives plU'
ral alike, daimh, &c. Math, a personage,
has Maithibh in nom. and dative plural ;
thàinig maithibh Bhaile-cliath mach 'nar
coinneamh, the principal people of Dublin
came out to meet us, — Legend.
Vocative Plural is the nom. plu. aspi-
rated ; as, beanntan, hills, bheanntan,
hills .' It is proper enough to write bheann-
ta in the vocative, though very question,
able as a nom. plural, compounds alone ex-
cepted ; caora-madaidh, dog-berries, caora-
feulain, ivy-berries; but always caoran,
elder-berries, or berries generally.
There are some irregular nouns, such as,
bean, a woman ; cu, dog; bo, cow, which
shall be declined at large.
Second Declexsiox. Thoughwehave
followed the arrangement of Armstrong
and Stewart, for the most part, yet it is ob-
vious to any person, that the classification
of nouns given here, divides into six fami-
lies or different modes of forming the geni-
tive. See Declension.
Under the Second Declension, is classed
aU nouns having their last vowel i, and
sometimes e final, and whose genitive is
like the nominative, or is irregularly form-
ed.

Genitive Singular Feminine, for the
most part, is formed from the genitive sin-
gular masculine by throwing aside the as-
pirate form of the initial consonant, and
monosyllables generally add a or e to the
last letter, but when a or e is the final let-
ter of the masculine it suffers no change
throughout.

The Second Declension of Adjectives,
like that of nouns,«is characterised by i,
and obser\^es the same rules through all
their variations, which, in both declen-
sions, consist chiefly in changes of the ini-
tial form and terminations, depending on
the circumstance, whether used with, or
without, the article, and of what gender.

Comparisons. There are only two com-
parisons in the Gaelic, known to ordinary
scholars— in the vocabularies of extraordi-
nary ones there are three, the third being
a secret, they have failed to communicate
to their less gifted brethren. The positive
expresses the simple state, the comparative
enlarges or diminishes that state. The su-
perlative is made up by some adjunct to
the comparative. There are two ways of
forming the comparative ; thus, teith, hot,
teoithe, hotter, a's teoithe air fad, uile-
gu leir, na dhuiih uile, is hottest of all—
with the article, is teoithide e so, it is the
hotter of this.—Fevi only admit of the last
mode.
Rule 1. The comparatives of monosyl-
lables are commonly the genitive singular
feminine ; as, ban, pale, baine, paler, a's
baine ait fad, which is palest of any ;— so
buan, lasting, buaine, more lasting, <Sc.
gann, scarce, gainne, icarcf r ; borb, tur-
bulent, buirbe, more turbulent ; cam,
crooked, eaime, more crooked ; dall, blind,
doille, blinder ; caomh, mild, caoimhe,
milder; dan, presumptuous, na's daine,
more presumptuous; crom, bent, cruime,
neo na's cruime, more bent; daor, dear in
price, daoire, dearer; crion, puny, very
little in size, na 's crine, more trifling in
size ; dearg, red, deirge, redder ; deas, pre-
pared, deise, more prepared; donn, brown,
duinne, browner; iag, faint, \aige, fainter,
^c. with dubh, fann, geal, gorm, liath,
lorn, trom, mall, raarbh duibhe, fauna,
gile, guirme, Ididh, leidhe, &e.
Rule 2. If the positive ends in ach,
each, or eil, idh, it is formed by adding e
final to the gen. sing. ; as, cealgach, deceit-
ful, cealgaiche, more deceitful ; cinnteach,
certain, cinntiche, more certain; also,
banail, feminine, banaile, more feminine ;
cairdeil, càirdeUe, more friendly; diadh-
aidh, diadhaidhe, more pious.
Rule 3. Adjectives of more than one
syllable ending in ta and da, form the
comparative by adding -iche or cha; as,
curanta, curantacha, more heroic ; bunanta,
bunantacha, more firm set ; ceanalta, cean-
aXlacha, more tractable; caranta, amiable,
carantaiche, more amiable; taxasà.a,farasd.
aiehe ; stòlda, stùldacha, more sedate ; màll-
ta, màUtacha; also, adjectives ending in

Pronouns are words used to avoid the
too frequent repititions of nouns ; as, leig
losa a sios a' bheatha air ar son.ne , laidhe
E 'san uaigh ; dh' èirich e bho na mairbh,
agus thig E a rithisd a tlioirt breith, 'sè sin.
leig losA asios— laidh/oio — dh'èirich Iota—
thig losa, that is, Jesus laid down, Jems lay,
Jesus rose, Jesus shall come.
There are six kinds of pronouns ; per
sonal, relative, interrogative, adjective, in-
definite and compound, admitting of gen-
der, number and case ; also of a Simple, em-
phatic and aspirate form.
Sing7ilar. Plural.
1. Mi, mhi, /. Sinn, we.
2. Tu, thu, thou. sibh, ye or you.
3. E, sè, he—i, si, she,iad, siad, eud seud,
they.
Emphatic.
Mise, mhise, sinn, sinn-ne.
Tusa, thusa. sibh, sibhse,
Esan, ise, he, she. iadsan, siadsan, eud-
san, seudsan.
The forms of the personal pronouns governed by a transitive verb are,—
Simple Form. E-mphatic Form.
Singular. Plural.
Mi,
mise me
smne, we.
Thu,
thusa, thee.
sibhse, you.
E, i.
esan, ise, him, her.
eudsan, iadsan, them.
Note. That fi!in is equivalent to the
Latin syllabic adjective met, Greek au-
ras conjunctive, English self, or selves ; mi
f(5in, mifhèin, myself; mise fein, /, my own
self; thu fein, thyself; efiin, himself; i
fein, herself; sinnefhum, ourselves; we our-
selves, sibh fhòin or fein, yourselves ; eud
ihèin. The common way in Argyle, and I
think the proper mode, is, mi pht'in, 'sibh
pHn, eud p/u'in.—We have heard some say
sibh pin. Pronouns of the first and second
persons singular and all the plurals, are com-
mon gender; e, esan, ^nasc. i, ise, feminine.
Relative Pronouns are three: who,
which, that, gen. and dat.
Sing, and Plur.
N. A, who, which, that.
G. An, of whom, of which, of that.
D. An, to whom, to which, to that.
Nach, (indeclinable) who not, which not,

na, singular, that, which, what; na ni,
that which will do,— plural, all that, those

fied in the Dictionary.
* Eud, seud, is the Argyle form of the
pronoun,pronounccd e' tld' she'dd— eu in tlie
North and a part of Perthshire, sounds ea.
Adjective Pronouns are mo or mu,
my ; do or du, thy ; a, her or his; plural,
ar, our ; bhur* or ar, your or yours ; an,
their or theirs used before vowels and con-
sonants, except b,f, m, p, which take am.
Note. These Pronouns never have the
emphatic form of the personal pronouns.but
are expressed with names in the following
manner.
Singular. Plural.
Mo lamh-sa, ar lamh-ne.
Do lamh-sa, bhur or 'ar lamh-sa.
A lamh-sa, an lamh-sa.
If the noun be followed by an adjective,
the emphatic form is annexed to the adjec-
tive or the last of two adjectives; as,
Mc chii luath-sa. Mo chii luath, geal-sa.
Do thu luath-sa. Do chii luath, geal-sa.
A chii luath-sa, A chii luath, geal-sa.
n some parts sibh, or as they mispro.
it,shùsh-ao,is used to old and young,
but in the islands it is never used but as a
mark of respect, answering to sir and ma-
dam in English, and thus applied to superi-
ors, instructors, and seniors. Thou, thu
thusa, is used to address equals and inferi-
ors,' — the inhabitants of Kintyre, thoii and
thee, even his majesty. In three farms in
Islay, the same is done to their parents, even
contending that the Almighty is always so
addressed, and that it is impious to pretend
higher honours to men.

Dual Number.— There is, to all intents
and purposes, a dual number in the Gaelic
as well as the Greek; thus, we say, aon
fhenT, one man; da (hear, two men, lite-
rally, TWO man; but when we arrive at
the number three, tri fir, three men—with
every thing else, aon each, une horse; da
each, two horses ; but tri eich, ceithir eich,
three horses, four horses.
Cardinals are formed by placing the ar-
ticle an before the numeral, and prefixing
-amh, or -eamh ; thus, an coigeamh salm
tharanfhichead ; an ochdamh salm thar an
fhichead; an iwoidheamh salm thar an
fhichead, the twenty-fifth psalm, the
twenty-eighth psalm, .the twenty.ninth
psalm, &c.— but the twentieth psalm, am
Jkheadamh salm, an deicheamh salm thar
an fhichead, an da f hicheainh salm, an tri
ficheadamh salm, an ceithir ficheadamh
salm, an ciadamh salm; the thirtieth, the
fortieth, sixtieth, eightieth, the hundredth
psalm, t^c. then, an deicheamh salm thar
a' chiad, an ficheadamh thar a chiad, &c.
the hundred and tenth, and hundred and
twentieth, psalms.
Verb is a word signifying to be, to do, or
to suffer. In Gaelic there are two conjuga-
tions, the first comprehending all the verbs
beginning with consonants except f ; the se-
cond all beginning with f, or a vowel. 2.
There are two voices, active and passive. 3.
There are in Gaelic only, in common with
the Hebrew and other Oriental languages,
two VOICES, the PAST and the future ;
however, by a stroke of Gaelic generalship
unknown in modern tactics, our Gaelic
grammarians have discovered a present
tense, but very wisely kept it a secret in
their own bosoms.*
• Since the author is not in possession of
this philosopher's stone, he will endeavour
to shew the substitute, used by unextraordi-
nary mortals for this tense,— want of at-
tention to which, he conceives to be the great
causeof all our English. Gaelic Dictionaries
not answering their legitimate purposes, no
more than an Esquimaux Almanack would.
The present tense is formed by means
of adjectives and nouns, and the verb to be.
2. By means of participles and the verb to be
(particularly the negative mood). 3. Often
by means of the compound pronouns, witli
the negative particles, without the aid of any
verb.
\st, Is toigh learn. Hike, I love; ma 's
toigh leat, if you like, if you love ; is fuath

PART. in.
Syntax or Construction is the right
arrangement of the words of a language
into sentences, or phrases ; its parts are two.
Concord and Government.
Concord is the agreement one word has
with another, in gender, number and person.
Rule I.-The article is placed immediately
before its noun, unless the adjective precede
the noun, in which case the noun is always
aspirated ; as, am ball, the rope ; na fir, the
men ; but an droch dhuine, the bad man.
Rule IL— An adjective and an article a-
gree with their nouns in gender, number and
case ; as, na daoine mora, matha, the great,
good men ; do na nigheanan matha, O an'
duine maith, to the good young women, O
the good man!
Rule III.— The possessive pronouns,
which before vowels are contracted, always
precedes the nouns, and the adjectives for
the most part follow it ; as, m' athair, my
father ; do mhathair, your mother • again,
lann gheur, duine glic ; a siiarp blade ; a
wise man ; but the adjectives generally pre-
cede the noun, if is be the verb beginning
the sentence; as, is math an duine e, how
good a man he is ! is meanrachd te a gheibh
e, happy is the woman that gets him.
Rule IV.— The possessive a, in the femi-
nine.beforeavowel requires h-; as, ah-each,
her horse; a h-anam, her sotd ; but in the
masculine, the a is apostrophised before a
vowel andfh ; as, 'aghaidh, his face; 'thaire
'fhalt, his attention, his head of hair. See
first page of Dictionary.
Rule V. Numerals are placed before the
nouns qualified; as, tri miosan, three
months ; naoidh fir, nine men ; but the fol-
lowing are excepted : Righ Seumas a h.
aon, Righ Uilleam a Ceithir, King James
the First, King fVilliam the Fourth.
Rule VI. When the possessive pronouns
ar, our,bhur or.ur, j(07<r,precede a noun, be-
ginning with a vowel n- is inserted between
them, but the possessive do contracted is
changed into t' before a vowel or f h ; as, t'
aghaidh, thy countenance; t'fhaire, thy at-
tention ; as, ar n-athraichean, our fathers ;
bhur n-aghaidhean, your countenances.
Rule VII.— The nominative, which is
often understood with the poets, is when
expressed generally placed after the verb ;
as, tha ijnn, lue arc; chroch iad an àuine,
they hanged the man ; dh' eirich iad, they
rose ; but the relatives a,na,nach, before it;
as, na fir a thuirt, the men that said ; na
chunnaic sinnn.ne, all those whom we saw ;
fear iiach teieh, a man that will not flinch.
Government of Nouns.
Rule I.— A noun signifying a different
thing governs another in the genitive ; as,
inneal mairbh, an instrument of death ;
seòl teichidh, a way of escape.
Rule II — If a second noun follow the
genitive, that second noun may be either in
the nominative, or accusative, or genitive,
or dative, but more often in the former;
tigh fear na bainnse, or t\g\\ fliir na bainnse
the bridegroom's house ; ainm mac an righ.
xlvlii
RUDIMENTS OF GAELIC GRAMMAR.
or ainm mhic an righ, the nanie of the king's
son.
Rule III.— The article is placed before
the noun governed in Gaelic, but in English
before the one governing ; as, tigh an righ,
the king's house ; solus tw gealaich, the light
of the moon; airà' a chinn, the height
of his head.
Role IV.— Nouns without the article go-
verning the genitive aspirate mutables ; as,
Mac DhòmhuiU, tigh Sheumais, nighean
Phdrraig, neo Gadhlaig Dhiibh, dhona
Phdrraig, Donald's son, James's house,
Peter's daughter, or Peter's melaneholy, dis-
asterous Gaelic.
Government of Adjectives.
Rule I. — Adjectives of plenty and satiety
are followed by do or du (and by way of sur-
prising people de) either simple or com-
pounded; as, Ian i\\,full of oats ; buidheach
do ìMaAh.satiiJied with food; sgith do chàis,
tired of cheese ; but, grainnaichte le Gadh-
laig Pharraig, quite disgusted with Peter's
abominable Gaelic.
Rule II.— Adjectives of merit or dis-
praise, remembrance, distance, acquaint-
ance, and other affections of the mind, are
generally followed by air simple or com-
pounded; as, airidh air peanas, deserving
punishment ; dèidheil air fion, addicted to
viine ; eolach air Ian, acquainted with John ;
fad air folbh, /aroj;
Rule III Adjectives of likeness or un-
likeness, similarity, habits, duration, com-
passion, Aic. require ri ; as, cosail ri Sen.
mas, ri Parraig, like James, like Peter;
fa chosnadh, habituated to earning; ri
bliadhna, /or a year ; truacanta rithe, com-
passionate to her.
Rule IV. — Adjectives of profit or dis-
profit, proximity, relationship, necessity or
use, require do ; math dhuit, good for you ;
dona dhith, bad for her; fagasg dhuinn,
near us ; dliith dhaibh, nearly connected
with them ; càirdeach dhomh, nearly con-
nected with me, &.C. ;— but adjectives of
measure qualified by the particle ni or
na, require na, than ; as, na's milse na
mil, sweeter than honey; na's luaithe Tia
earb, swifter than a roe ; na's fhearr na an
t-òr, better ilian the gold.
Rule V — Superlatives require do or its
compounds. An tè 's fhearr do'n triuir,
the best of the three; an t-aon is naoimhe
dhiutha uile, the ir.ost holy of the whole ; am
fear is miosa 's an t- saoghal, the worst fel-
low in the universe.
Government of Verbs.
Rule I — An active verb governs the
accusative, which is always the same as the
nominative ; as.las an sol\xs,kindle the light ;
caomhainn do shaothair, spare yourself
the trouble ; buail e, strike fir ?n ; cha bhuail
e mi, he shall not strike me.
Rule II. — Neuter verbs require prepo-
sitions which govern the noun or pronoun

classes ; as, leig dha, let him alone ; gabh
da, be'abour him ; tog ris a' bhruthaeh, as-
cend the acclivity ; buail air, fall to; cum

bh'ann, it was an accident ^ bu dorcha,

innseadh bhreug, to tell lies; a chumail
feill, to observe holydays ; a dh' mnsearih
sgeoil, to report proceedings; a sheinn

ginning with a vowel or f require d aspi-
rated; as, a dh'òl fion, to drink wine; a
dh' fholbh, to go.
Rule V.— Present participles of active

a' coinneachadh fir, meeting a person ; ag òl
flona, drinking wine ; a' mathadh peacaidh,
pardoning sin; a' ruith ciadtarruinn, dis-
tilling low-wines.

le Seuraas, directed by James; paisgte le
sreing, wrapped up with a cord; ceann.
saichte leis a" chlaidhimh, subdued by the

A, a
A, a, the first letter of the alphabet, called
by the Irish anfhalm, the elm tree.
A', the gen. and dat. naas. and the nom. and
dat. fem. of the article, the ; used before
three of the labials, b, m, p, and the tivo
palatals, e, g, when aspirated ; a.s, a' ehoin,
of the dog; a' mhathair, the mother ; a'
phàisde, of the child ; a' ghruagach, the
damsel : the fourth labial, f, takes an ;
as, an fhir, of the man ; anfhaobruinn,
of the large anide ; a« fhradhairc, qft/ie
eye.^ight; an fheantagach, the nettle;
an f hiolair, the eagle.
The aspiration of the f, in these and simi-
lar instances, is the cause of many cor-
ruptions : henfe, àile instead of fiile,
smell; radharc instead of fradharc, eye-
sight ; àradh in place of faradh, a ladder ;
aile nan tairnean, instead of fail nan
taimean, the print of the nails, &c. ; but
Dr. N. M'Leod has very properly restor-
ed fradharc, and many other words, to
their correct orthography, paying no re-
gard to the corrupt manner in which they
were written formerly. In some places
of Argyie, faile, the gen, is used in place
of the nom. fail : 2. a', the sign of the pre-
sent paitjciple (for ag) ; used before con-
sonants ; as, a' fas, growing ; a' dùnadh,
shutting; a' dol, going: 3. a', contrac-
tion for arm ; as, a'd' cheann, in thy head.

his son ; a nighean, Jiis daughter; a mac,
her son; a nighean, her daughter; el-
lipsed before fh, and a vowel in the
mas.; as, 'fhalt, his hair; 'aghaidli, his
countenance : in the feminine an h is in-
terposed between the pronoun and noun ;
as, a h-each, her horse; a h-eun, her
bird. When a consonant comes after the
f h, the pronoun is retained in the mas. ;
as, a f hluiche, his, or its wetness ; pro-
nounced, ul-lùèch-à : 2. a, sign of the
infinitive; as, a bhualadh, to strihe; a
cheangal an duine, to bind the man ; 5. a.
