Usage / Notes:
- Mutations:
- San sometimes eclipses, sometimes lenites (this seemingly result of old distinction between accusative [eclipsing] and dative [leniting] going out of use in this period, and thus both are seen)
- ann, ionn before gach and bhár
- is, as before tigh, tír
- Alternate forms
- a, á (eclipsing)
- ann, and, ánn, an (does not eclipse)
