The auxiliaries b1, js, or as, and ʊ13, 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; is, or as, with dam, and liom; tig, with liom only; as (133.) Ta sgian agam. Ni bfuil sgian agam. Ta sgian uaim. Ni tig liom a deanat. Is eigin daṁ sgriobad. Ta grad agam air Dhia. Ta fuact orm. Is liom sin fór. I have a knife. I have not a knife. I want a knife. I cannot do it. I love God. I am cold. That is mine too. 3. Jr, or ar, simply denotes the object in itself; but T4 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, is me Domnall, I am Donald; is fuar an ojdċe í, it is a cold night. But 4 has a twofold object, and shews the subject and predicate distinctly from each other; da Domnall ag an doras, Donald is at the door; ta an oidċe fuar, the night is cold. (134.) Hence also the interrogative, of ar, 1r an, is used in enquiring after any inherent quality of the subject; as, an tu Domnall? are you Donald? 1 me, I am. But the interrogative, of b1, is bfuil, is used in enquiring after any occasional quality, or circumstance; as, brul Domnall ag an doras? is Donald at the door? ATA, he is. 4. When ar, or j†, ba, and buò, come in contact with vowels, they are contracted into †, b, or m; as, Mas (ma is) tu fear an If you are the man of the house. tize. Bean darb (dar ba) ainm A woman whose name was Eblin. Evelina. Da maill (ma aill) leat eist- If it were agreeable to you to eact ljom. listen to me. Bream (ba feam) daṁsa It were better for me bet mo tore. silent. to be 5. Ba, and buʊ, aspirate the following mutable consonants; as bud ṁait ljom, I would wish. 6. The auxiliary b1, with the preposition añ, is used to express existence; as, ta subailce añ, there is a virtue; bi duine añ, there was a man. (135.)
