" Some nouns ending in ea are changed into i ; and those ending eo or
into ui, — as :

many examples. The following may, I think, sufiice, — my chief rehance being
on phonic spelling and literal translations : —
Bannais, a wedding, bainnse, wedding. duthaich,acountry. ducha, of the country,
bann-aysh baynnse du'-ayich du-cha
Coluinn, the body, colla, coll. gualainn, the shoulder. guaille,of the shoulder,
eoluynn colla gu-alaynn guylle
