Those nouns, whose characteristic vowels are broad,<br />

genitive with the omission <strong>of</strong> the increase, as lam,<br />
(llawv) a hand, gen. lajrbe, (llaw-ve) dat. I Aim ; Ttjeuft,<br />

(may-ir.) This class <strong>of</strong> nouns takes a broad increase<br />
in the plural, as CJOJICA, (ttheer-ha) countries; COTA,<br />
(kus-a) feet; cfAjiA, (keer-a) combs; lAri)A, (llawv-a)<br />
hands ; meujtA, (may^-ur-a)^^^^, &c. A few masculine<br />
nouns will take a small increase in the gen. sing.<br />
as -\n), (im)butter, gen. jnje (im-e); rt|Ab, (slee^-uv) a<br />
mountain, gen. rl&ibe (shllay-ve) ; A^rrj, (an-im) a<br />
name, gen. A^me (an-im-e.) Participial nouns which<br />
terminate in UTJA&J will, in the gen. make ijce, as<br />
beAfjujAb, (bann-oo) a blessing, gen. beAi)u|5ce(bannee-he)<br />
these are all <strong>of</strong> the<br />
;<br />
masculine. The syllables<br />
u3A& <strong>of</strong> these are pronounced as one syllable like oo,<br />
as beAi)u5; the gen.<br />
is<br />
pronounced beAi)-e-ce in<br />
Munster ; beAi)-j-ce in Connaught, and in Ulster<br />
beAi)-|6. Nouns which end in AC will, in the gen.<br />
make ^ge, as 5eAUc, (gal-augh) a moon, gen. seAUige,<br />
^gal-ee-e.) Also participial nouns <strong>of</strong> two syllables,<br />
which end in BAD, as Tt}]tleA6, (mill-oo) destruction,<br />
