Is blath anail na mathar. Na bi ciiramach uime. Nach mise a

282. The Verbal Noun.—The Verbal Noun is formed
from the primitive form of the verb by adding a suffix.
That most commonly found is adh or eadh, as glan
(clean), glanadh (cleaning). Other suffixes serving the
same purpose are ail, eil; inn, ainn; achd, eachd; etc.
Some Verbal Nouns are without Terminal Inflection,
as ul (drink), dl (drinking). The Verbal Noun ending
in adh is inflected for the Genitive case only. All are
indeclinable in the other cases and have no Plural. A
noun limiting a Verbal Noun is in the Genitive case.
283. The principal use to which Verbal Nouns are
put, is to express Continuous or Progressive Action,
after the preposition a’, or ag, preceded by the Substan¬
tive Verbs bi (in all its cases), tha and bheil, e.g.—
Tha iad a’ bualadh chlachan. )
