AUXILIARY VERBS.

1. The auxiliaries b1, 13, or as, and t13, with their inflexions, are elegantly used to supply the place of all verbs denoting possession, want, power, necessity, or any affection of the body, or

mind.

2. B1 is used with agam, orm, and uaim; 11, or as, with

dam, and liom; 13, with liom only; as (133.)

Ta sz1an azam.

Ni bfuil sz1an 4gam.

Ta sgian uaim.

Ni 13 liom a deanam.

Ir eigin dah sgriobad.

Ta grad azam air Dhia.

Ta fuaċt orm.

Ir liom sin fór.

I love God.

I am cold.

That is mine too.

3. Jr, or ar, simply denotes the object in itself; but ta always denotes it as connected with some circumstance.

Hence, it affirms simply of its object, although that object be expressed by two or more words; as, ir me Domnall, I am Donald; ir fuar an orice 1, it is a cold night. But ta has a twofold object, and shews the subject and predicate distinctly from each other; a Dorijnall ag an dorar, Donald is at the door; ta an ojoče fuar, the night is cold. (134.)

Hence also the interrogative, of as, 15 an, is used in enquiring after any inherent quality of the subject; as, an du Domnall? are you Donald? ir me, I am.

But the interrogative, of bi, is bruil, is used in enquiring after any occasional quality, or circumstance; as, bruil Domnall 43 an dorar ? is Donald at the door? ata, he is.

4. When ar, or 1r, ba, and bus, come in contact with vowels, they are contracted into r, b, or m; as,

Mas (ma ir) tu fear an If you are the man of the house. Tije.

Bean darb (dar ba) ainm A woman whose name was Eblin.

Evelina.

Da maill (ma aill) lead est- If it were agreeable to you to eact ljom.

listen to me.

Bream (ba feam) daimra It were better for me to be

Belt mo τογτ.

silent.

5. Ba, and bus, aspirate the following mutable consonants; as bud majt ljom, I would wish.

6. The auxiliary by, with the preposition an, is used to express existence; as, a rubailce an, there is a virtue; b1 duine 47, there was a man. (135.)
