Not illustrated. 1863 Excerpt: ...asya modified itself in the first instance into ai, and from thence issued the Gaedhelic forms d and 6 like the M xxiv. Adjectival a-stems never exhibit i in the nom. pi. But (as was to be expected) this is done by adjectival j-stems, such as sain, isil, dilis, comacuis, whence sdini, isli, dilsi, comaicsi. The adjectival i-declension exists at the present day. See the paradigm (geanamhaH), O'Donovan's Grammar, p. 112. Kymric y, e. Thus even this form, which in consequence of its shortness must have sounded fuller, differs very little from the usual genitive of the a-stems. The neuter of the article an, which has weakened itself even to a, rests no doubt on a primitive form anat, bb which from the outset must have become ana, an, hecause anan (instead of anarn) must have always retained an n; the fundamental-at also explains the more violent shortening in the neut. aill, as compared with the masc. and fern. aile.x . 6. Declension of masc. i-and u-stems. The explanation of the case-endings is much more difficult in the following classes, where the separation of the masculine uand i-, and the feminine a-and i-, stems, is already difficult. The i-and w-stems sound in the nom. and ace. sing, perfectly alike, for-is, -in, -imust drop on0 like-us, -un, -u; even the vowel of the stem does not always give us information, although denmid (factor), for example, proves itself by the genitive denmada to have been altered from denmad, muir (mare) announces itself by its ui as an i-stem; we must, therefore, endeavour to ascertain the stem from other sources, as, for instance, in biih (mundus), from the Gaulish bitu; in fid (arbor), from the Gaulish vidu and the Saxon widu; in the verbals in-ad, from the analogy of the Latin in-tus, etc. The only case which shows the ste...
