Before going further with more place name possibilities, let\u2019s practice some more with the patterns we\u2019ve already been working on.\u00a0 Just as a review, some samples include<\/p>\n

a)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 place names starting with a vowel and with no definite article (\u201ci<\/strong>\u201d becomes \u201cin<\/strong>\u201d):<\/p>\n

t\u00edortha:<\/em> in \u00c9\u00edrinn, in Iam\u00e1ice <\/strong><\/p>\n

cathracha, bailte, st\u00e1it, contaetha, srl.:<\/em> in Uachtar Ard, in Alasca, in Ouagadougou, in U\u00edbh Fhail\u00ed<\/strong><\/p>\n

b)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>place names starting with a consonant and no definite article (\u201ci\u201d <\/strong>plus eclipsis, where possible):<\/strong><\/p>\n

t\u00edortha:<\/em> i mBarbad\u00f3s, i mBuirc\u00edne Fas\u00f3, i gC\u00f3sta R\u00edce, <\/strong>example with <\/strong>no change: i M\u00e1lta<\/strong><\/p>\n

cathracha, bailte, st\u00e1it, contaetha, srl.:<\/em> i nB\u00e9algr\u00e1d, i mBost\u00fan, i bPr\u00e1g, i nDakota Thuaidh,\u00a0i bhFear Manach; <\/strong>examples with no change: i Manchain, i Luimneach<\/strong><\/p>\n

c)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>place names starting with a consonant and using the definite article (\u201ci\u201d <\/strong>plus \u201can\u201d <\/strong>becomes \u201csa,\u201d <\/strong>lenition where possible)<\/strong><\/p>\n

t\u00edortha:<\/em> sa Bhulg\u00e1ir, sa Mhong\u00f3il;\u00a0<\/strong>no lenition (“sp” never lenited), sa Sp\u00e1inn; <\/strong>no lenition (d\/t rule): sa Danmhairg, sa T\u00e9alainn<\/strong><\/p>\n

cathracha, bailte, st\u00e1it, contaetha, srl.:<\/em> sa Chloch\u00e1n Liath, sa Chabh\u00e1n; <\/strong>no change: sa H\u00e1ig, sa Spid\u00e9al, sa Tasm\u00e1in<\/strong><\/p>\n

Looks like I\u2019ve got more samples above than actual practice questions below, but c\u00e9n dochar?\u00a0 <\/strong>As far as opportunities to lenite or eclipse or ponder the role of initial vocality in prepositional suffixation, d\u00e1 mh\u00e9ad is amhlaidh is fearr \u00e9 <\/strong>(the more, the merrier).\u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

For thorough practice with Irish counties, we\u2019ll have to wait for blag eile<\/strong>, since there are so many counties and possibilities for initial consonant change.\u00a0 Frequently though, one really only has to worry about one initial change, (\u201cContae\u201d <\/strong>to \u201ci gContae\u201d), <\/strong>since the word \u201ccounty\u201d is so often included in discussion.\u00a0 Generally speaking I\u2019d say that it\u2019s much more typical to say something happened in \u201cCounty Such and Such\u201d in Ireland than to say that it happened in the \u201cState\u201d of Such and Such, when discussing America.\u00a0 Nevertheless, we do have at least a couple counties represented above for practice:<\/p>\n

Well, that\u2019s a bit of practice anyway to tide you over till we get the next batch of examples, where \u201ci<\/strong>\u201d doesn\u2019t simply change to \u201cin<\/strong>\u201d or \u201csa<\/strong>\u201d but also to \u201csan<\/strong>\u201d and \u201csna<\/strong>.\u201d\u00a0 Ar ais ar\u00eds roimh i bhfad. \u2013 R\u00f3isl\u00edn<\/strong><\/p>\n
