COMPOUND.

1. The compound pronouns 4gam, liom, orm, uaim, are commonly used, with the verbs; bi, tam, and ar, or ", instead of the regular verbs; in the following manner.

(120) 3. Ljom originally signifies with, by, for, or to me, &c. From hence it is used,

INCREASE OF PRONOUNS, NOUNS, ADJECTIVES, AND VERBS.

1. For the manner in which the increase is made in pronouns, nouns, and adjectives, see pages 37, 38.

2. In the same manner, the increase may be made in verbs, if the pronoun be not expressed; as. Deirimise an firiñe, ir ni crejoinre me, I say the truth, and you do not believe me; bruil tu ar di mo buadlara? are you about to strike me ?

3. The use of the increase may be always ascertained by considering the emphatical pronoun in the sentence; as, ir lajone mo capallra no do capalisa, my horse is stronger than yours. 4. Hence, when a question is asked, the personal pronoun in the answer always receives the increase; as, cia piñe ro ? miri, no tura, who did this, I, or you (122)
