Personal, possessive, and compound pronouns, take an additional syllable, when used with a particular emphasis; or placed in contra distinction to each other. (35) În personal and compound pronouns, if the last vowel be broad, sa is added to the first, second and third person feminine of the singular; and to the second person plural; but se is added, if the last vowel be small. In like manner san or sean is added to the third person masculine, singular, and to the third person plural. Ne is added to the first person plural: as, Dam, to me, dansa, to myself; duit, to thee, duitse, to thyself; sinn, we, sinne, ourselves; è, he, esean, himself; me I, mise, myself: i, she, ise, herself; liom, with me, liomsa, with myself ; linn, with us, linne, with ourselves. In this manner decline all the personal and compound pronouns, except in the genitive case; for, Possessive pronouns require the increase to be made in the nouns that are joined with them; as, lam, a hand, mo lansa, my own hand; or if that noun be followed by an adjective, the increase is made in that adjective; as, mo lam gealsa, my white hand. In In this manner decline, Mo čeann dub, my black head. a leabar, his book. ar natair, our father. a gcosa duba, their black feet. bur suile arda, your lofty eyes. (36) V E R B.
