Nar eirig tu go moć? Did you arise early? Bhi me, uair no do, ar ti I was, once or twice, 1 Thig se air uairib, Deirim naćar ioc se enfeorlin, Nar imtig an fear, a bi annso arèir? Nior diol se an dadam, Ca huair a dimtig se? Gud as naċ neistean tu liom? Ni cuiread se sùim ann, Càit a bfuil se anois? Car fag tủ è? Suid anaice liom, Is fada d'fan tu tall, Is gearr go rača me siar aris, Cia he sin a dtaob siar diot? Cia he sin a dtaob tall diot? Bfearr liom beit tall, na bos, Na bi dul siar 's aniar, Ta an taran sin ro mait, Do buailead è le duine eile, An mar sin ata? Na teig'anonn nios mò, Gud as air bain tu leis? Nar cuir se fios air a cofra? Is liomsa an teaċ mor sin tall, Go de mur ta tu? Thainic se asteaċ air an mball, Ta se abfogus don oidċe, Ba liom è, sul ar diol me è, Iar geloistin na sgeulado, Druid tu fein astig ann do tig, He is going to and fro. Do not go up and down, A story that I heard long ago. From a wise man that came from afar. That hills are green far from us. That bread is very good, He was struck by another man. Is it so? Did he pay the debts? Do not go over any more. Almost all young people are fond of play. You are very lazy. Why did you meddle with it? Did he send for his chest? That great house beyond is mine. How are you? It is near the night. When he heard the story. Shut thyself in thy house. PREPOSITION. PREPOSITION. 1. The following prepositions aspirate the nouns that they govern; viz.
