100 4th form. ''&#39;o. enno, in him, ganso'', with him.

In this form several words have an inserted dh between the preposition and the pronoun. Ragdho, for him, dhôdho, to him, not rago, dhôo. A similar euphonic dh occurs in the case of the third persons feminine and plural.

4. Third Person Singular, feminine. English, she, her. Letter H, S, or a vowel.

1st form. ''hŷ. hŷ a vedn'', she will.

2nd form. ''hŷ. a medh hŷ'', said she.

3rd form. ''&#39;s. mî a&#39;s henow'', I name her.

This form is rarely found in the later MSS. Either the possessive î or the form hŷ (the latter often put after the verb) was used, in the rare cases of this construction.

4th form. ''&#39;î. gensi, with her; dhedhi'', to her.

5. First Person Plural. English, we, us. Letter N.

1st form. ''nŷ. nŷ a vedn'', we will.

2nd form. ''nŷ. na blamyough nŷ'', do not blame us.

3rd form. ''&#39;n. ev a'n doro'', he will bring us.

This form, perhaps owing to its being the same as the 3rd form of the third person singular, is rare even in the older MSS. The possessive &#39;gan (for agan) is generally used instead of it, ev a &#39;gan doro.

4th form, &#39;n, preceded by almost any vowel. ragon, for us; genen, with us; dhen, to us; warnan, on us.

6. Second Person Singular. English, you. Letter, Wh, Gh, or S.

1st form. ''whŷ. whŷ a vedn'', you will.

2nd form. ''whŷ. nî wreugh whŷ'', you do not.

3rd form. ''&#39;s. ev a's doro'', he will bring you.
