The infinitive, usually formed by adding ad, to the imperative, if the last vowel is broad; ead, if small; as, do buailead, or do bualad, to strike; do ċromad, to bend. (70) 3. The present, formed by adding im, or am, to the imperative; as, buailim, Istrike; cromam, I bend. 4. The preter, formed by adding as, is, or eas, to the imperative; as, do buaileas, I struck; do cromas, I bent. 5. The future, formed by adding ad, ead, or id; fad, fead, or fid, to the imperative; as, buailfead, I will strike; cromfad, I will bend. (71) 6 The consuetudinal, subjunctive, formed by adding fann, fuinn, or finn, to the imperative; as, da mbuailfinn, had I struck; da geromfuinn, had I bent.
