Rh the noun after it in the genitive; becomes  before the article, and then causes eclipsis if the noun be singular.

We can also express the above by means of the preposition alone, but in this case we must put the verbal noun before the other noun. This latter will, of course, be now in the genitive case, because one noun governs another in the genitive case. This is the only governing power the verbal noun has in Irish.
