* prep. + ''úr'' = prep. ''n-úr'' (e.g. ''do n-úr'')
 
Combined with the numeral particle:
 
* prep. + ''a'' = prep. ''n-a'' (e.g. ''fé n-a'')
 
Exceptionally, ''i'', ''le'' and ''trí'' give the following unique combinations with the article:

  • go dtí
  • i
  • le
  • ó
  • roimh
  • trí

The clitic combinations generally have the following pattern:

Combinations with the article:

  • prep. + an = prep. 'n (e.g. roimh 'n)
  • prep. + na = prep. sna (e.g. go dtí sna)

Combinations with possessive adjectives:

  • prep. + mo = prep. m' (e.g. ó m')
  • prep. + do + vowel = prep. t' (e.g. le t')
  • prep. + do + consonant = prep. d' (e.g. trí d')
  • prep. + a = prep. n-a (e.g. i n-a)
  • prep. + ár = prep. n-ár (e.g. aige n-ár)
  • prep. + úr = prep. n-úr (e.g. do n-úr)

Combined with the numeral particle:

  • prep. + a = prep. n-a (e.g. fé n-a)

Exceptionally, i, le and trí give the following unique combinations with the article:

  • i + an + consonant = sa [note 3]
  • i + an + vowel = san [note 4]
  • i + na = sna [note 5]
  • le + an = leis an
  • le + na = leis na
  • trí + an = tríd an

Reference Material:

Most of this information can be referred to in SCD2 pp. xvi-xvii, but also in the relevant preposition sections in SCD1 (especially regarding combinations with the possessive adjective do, whether followed by a vowel or consonant).

Notes

  1. ↑ Often pronounced *se.
  2. ↑ Many works may standardise this to ag while a few prefer the written form age (see LMD and SCD2) to distinguish it from the conjugated form aige.
  3. ↑ Sometimes in sa, which is interchangeable with sa.
  4. ↑ Sometimes in san, which is interchangeable with san.
  5. ↑ Sometimes in sna, which is interchangeable sna.
