From Stokes' Gozde/ica, pp. loi, 103, take
also these : ni boi biaci occu acht criathar
corca = they had no food but a sieveful of
oats; and C7^is niobi ocai- = they had Mobi's
girdle. Several examples, too long to be
here quoted, will be found in Zeuss' Gram-
matica Celtica, 2nd edition, pp. 634-636,
under the preposition oc. One more illus-
tration and I pass on. The grammar of
the learned Windisch, above referred to,
will readily be accepted as one of our latest
and most trustworthy authorities on Old
Irish. Now if the reader will turn to pp.
47, 48 of that work, he will find declined
at full length, with the three pronominal
suffixes, not only the preposition oc, in the
sense assigned to it by me in this chapter,
but also the other prepositions which re-
main to be similarly dealt with in the
chapters yet to follow. And after that
reference, the reader will probably agree
with me that, in future chapters, his pa-
tience may be spared the task of struggling
through a great many quotations from Old
Irish authorities. What has been quoted
