The nom. sing, of the stems in at, the t of which, in theremaining cases, has become tJi, generally d, according to thephonetic laws of Irish. This suffix was originally the shorterform of the participial suffix mentioned under 2 (cf Skr. ace.bharantam, gen. bharutas), but it appears in all Indo-Europeanlanguages only in adjectives and appellatives.Originnl -o^s, -ets represented by Old Irish -a, -u, -e, -i.

The nom. sing, of some guttural stems.Original -ales, -eks represented by Old Ir. -c, -e. E.g., dire(primas, gen. airech, arech), perhaps connected with Skr. dryaka,cf. Gr. (j>u\a^; Tuire (dominus, gen. rurech). Sometimes the vowelalso disappears, e.g., ail (saxum, gen. ailech). The nom. cathir(city), nathir (serpent), &c. (Z. 259), have been formed, accordingto my opinion, without the secondary suffix ac, which, in the mostof the remaining cases, has become fixed, e.g., gen. catnich, nathrach(for catarac-as, natarac-as).6. The nom. sing, of stems in /r/) and of some stem.s in n. SeeExcursus iii. 2.7. The conjunctive form of the 3rd pers. plur. active.In combination with prepositions, and in the enclitic leaningtowards certain other particles {no, ro, ni, fee), an Iri.sh verb takesother forms than it would, standing alone. The distinctionbetween these conjunctive and absolute forms consists, in mostcases, according to my view, which I have already stated(Beitr. zur Vergl. Spr. viii. 450), in this, that the first areformed with the secondary, the second with the primary ))ersonalendings. Some of the absolute forms seem certainly to have originatedthrough later agglutination of jirononiinal elements.Stokes, however, would have all absolute forms explained inthis way (Beitr. vi. 465).Original -ant represented by Old Ir. -at, with loss of the nasal, asin cd = centum, ddt (tooth), &c. E.g. asberat (dicunt) = Lat.effeinint (if it has not lost an ?' in auslaut). Stokes traces heratback to beranti, but in Irish the i of the original auslaut is neverlost without a trace remaining, since it alwaj's penetrated, ere itwas lost, into the preceding syllable (see B. xii.). From an originalberanti must arise berait, berit, a form which has actuallybeen presei-ved as the absolute form of the 3rd plur. active, andhas gradually displaced entirely that shorter form. The onlything that can be said against my view, is that, in many places,aspiration has been proved after the 3rd plur. in -at, -et ; e.g.add ropat saint (modo sint diversae), fodalet chenel (distinguuntgenus), Z. 182, Beitr. zur Vergl. Spr. vi. 464. Wewould naturally infer from such aspiration that the precedingword ended originally in a vowel. Since an i, as we provedaliove, is not to be thought of, it only remains to try a and u.
