Unfortunately, I am totally unfamiliar with Old Irish. I need to know a basic thing about nouns. Namely, how do you form a word meaning 'her' or 'their', for example, 'stone' from the word 'his stone'. Could anyone possibly help me with the answer what is the rule? I'd be very grateful. Cheers! |

I don't know much about Old Irish, but "his stone" is "a chloch" in Modern Irish. |

possessives: singular lenites all except for "a" meaning "her" mo chloch (my stone) do chloch (your stone) a chloch (his stone) a cloch (her stone) plurals eclipse all: ár gcloch (our stone) bhur gcloch (your [pl] stone) a gcloch (their stone) Hope that helps a bit. |
