Prepositions

Ag

Ag has two forms:

  1. The form it takes in general, where it has been replaced by its conjugated form in the masculine 3rd person singular, aige. [note 1]
  2. The form it takes when preceding verbal nouns where it remains as ag.

Clitic combinations with aige:

  • aige + an = aige 'n
  • aige + na = aige sna
  • aige + mo + vowel = aige m'
  • aige + do + vowel = aige t'
  • aige + a = aige n-a
  • aige + ár = aige n-ár
  • aige + úr = aige n-úr

Notes

  1. ↑ 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.
