Hello, I have some questions about specificities of connacht gaelic.
-Which one of these is the common 1st plural form of the preterite?
mholamar / mhol muid
-Instead of "feirmeoir", "feilméar" is used. So is "éar" always used istead of "eoir" for jobs ? |

Mhol muid.
Actually it looks like "mholamar" doesn't exist anywhere now (Munster has mholamair, with slender r, and Connachta and Ulster have mhol muid).
Feilméara.
No -éara isn't always used instead of -eoir, it depends on the noun...
