<lb n="15"/><span>é thabhairt chum puirt.  Ní raibh snámh ag an </span>
<lb n="16"/><span>Apa úd.  Chonnaic an Deilf é agus cheap sí </span>
<lb n="17"/><span>gur duine bhí ann.  Tháinig sí faoi agus chuir </span>

<lb n="55"/><p><span>Duine d'á bháthadh : Fr. O'Leary suggests that d'á should</span>
<lb n="56"/><span>be confined to the passive use, and 'gá (= ag a) to the</span>

<lb n="63"/><span>has long been used in both ways, but ag is confined to</span>
<lb n="64"/><span>the active use.  Confusion has, no doubt, arisen from the</span>
<lb n="65"/><span>fact that when 'dá and 'gá have the consonant aspirated,</span>
<lb n="66"/><span>as they usually have, they sound exactly alike.  Often</span>
