GAELIC GRAMMAR.
THE PEEPOSITION.
The following is a complete list of the Gaelic
Prepositions : —
Aig, at.
Air, on.
Ann, in.
As or a, out of.
De, out of.
Do, towards.
Eadar, between.
Fa, upon.
Fo, under.
Gu or gus, towards.
Gun, without.
lar, after.
Le, leis, ivith, by.
Mar, like to.
Mu, about.
0, /rom.
Os, «5ow.
Eis or Ei, to.
Eoimh, before.
Tar, thar, over.
Tre, troimh, through.
Seach, past {comparison).
*,,* I have purposely said nothing about the so-called
Compound Prepositions. There is no just reason at all for
retaining them ; they are all Nou7is viith Prepositions, and
should be treated as such.
Prepositions, as we saw, stand before Nouns,
distinct and separate ; but when a Preposition
comes before a Personal Pronoun, they run to-
gether and form one Avord, as de mi, of me, be-
comes dhiom ; as tu, from you, becomes asad, &c.
The following gives the Prepositional Pronouns,
as these forms are called : —
Singular.
mi. tu. e. i.
Aig, Agam, Agad, Aige, Aice.
Air, Orm, Ort, Air, Oirre.
Be, Dhiom, Dhiot, Dhe, Dhi.
Do, Dho, Dhut, Dha, Dhi.
