Ua, or o, signifying a descendant, and mac, a son, are prefixed to the sirnames of men; Pattrusc O'Neill. Patrick O'Neill; Seamus Whac Seain, James Johnson. 2. But ny and nic are prefixed to the sirnames of women; 1, if the masculine be o; and nic, if it be mac; as, Maible Ni Neill, Mable O'Neill; Cajτμίη Nic Seain, Catharine Johnson. 3. When a person's sirname is asked, the answer is given of the tribe, stock, or branch from which he has his name; as cap flojñead dust? of what sirname are you? do or de clan O'Neill, of the O'Neills.

Adjectives signifying number precede their substantives; as aon duine, one man; 34c le la, every day. 2. But if the number be expressed in two or more words, then the substantive follows the first adjective; as, try rear de4311 cestre fitcead, ninety-three men. Un resseas caibidil pitcead, the twenty-sixth chapter. 3. Every number, in which do, two, is expressed, requires the substantive in the ablative singular, as, da cloje, two stones. 4. Every number, in which react, oct, na01, deje, or deaz is expressed, requires the substantive in the nominative plural eclipsed; as, react gcloca, seven stones. 5. In speaking of the succession of kings, and the like, the cardinal numeral is rather used than the ordinal; as, Seojpre 4η τμ), George the third; rather than Seoirse an treas. 6. There are several peculiar forms of expressing the numbers of different species, which may be collected from the following examples: THE CONSTRUCTION OF NUMERALS PROMISCUOUSLY EXEMPLIFIED.
