she) would be. they would be.
b/vo is the conditional of ip; as, *oA m-bí>/ó
mé, if it were I.
Obs. — These are the only forms of the Conditional Mood.
The particle -oo is used before it, and even where not ex-
pressed, causes aspiration of the initial, as above. "DA, if,
is very frequently used with it, and sometimes munA, unless,
both of which cause eclipsis ; as, -oÁ tn-bei-oinn, if I should
be.
