- 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
- ↑ Often pronounced *se.
- ↑ 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.
- ↑ Sometimes in sa, which is interchangeable with sa.
- ↑ Sometimes in san, which is interchangeable with san.
- ↑ Sometimes in sna, which is interchangeable sna.
