Gael, clann (connected by Dr. Stokeswith Lat. planta), crand (tree) = Mod. Gael crann, (cognate withLat. quernus), and ce^id (head) = Mod. Gael, ceann (connected byDr. Windisch with the root gvi, to swell). The regular modernform, therefore, of ind (in him, in it) is ann (in him, in it ; intohim, into it), which is thus shown to be a different word fromann (there, then), of which the ancient form is and.Keeping, therefore, in view that three distinct words in OldGaelic, viz., the pron. adv. and, the prep, in of which ind isanother form^ and the prep. pron. ind, have assumed the sameform ann in Mod. Gaelic, we shall proceed to give an analysisof Stewart's examples of the use of ann. These examples hedivides into three classes (cf Gramm., pp. 136, 137):I. Examples of ann signifying in1.

The ch ottech has arisenfrom infected g. Tigh {taigh properly in Scottish Gaelic) is now—u.sed as a nominative alongside of teach.
