The

under the

—

ending in

(a,

SINGULAR,

PLURAL,

Ui5eAcc,

a kingdom.

ni5e<xccA,

kingdoms.

ScjAc, a buckler, a sliield.

Sci<\ca,

bucklers, shields,

SUc,

SIaca, rods.

Again,

all nouns

fe}ninÍ7ie

which the vowel

preceding

the

final consonant is

slender;

as,

l)im]&,

captivity.

bitu^&e,

captivities.

Oiiil,

desire,

Diqlle,

Tejc,

a sinew,

TFejce,

sinews.

Pe]fc,

a worm.

Pei|*ce,

worms.

Pl5]i7,

a penny.

PlSl^^e,

pence.

From these examples it

is seen

that, generally,

when the

vowel in the last

syllable

is broad

(<\,

u,) the vowel in

the annexed syllable is broad

(a)

;

and when slender

(i),

the vowel in the annexed syllable is

slender

(e), according

rule.

Yet

many nouns of

this class, masculine

well

femi-

nine, form the plural

omitting the final slender

vowel;

as,

|t;,

river.

^b^uA,

contractedly,

Aibr)e,

rivers.

^cAijt,

father, m.

^CAttA,

A]C|ie.

t)|xACAijt,

and

CAjCfte,

cities.

2iu||i,

the sea,/.

ÍCaixa,

seas.

J2CACA]ft,

mother,/.

21)aca]ia,

Some

nouns

form

the

nominative plural

from

the nomi-

native

singular by taking c

before the

additional

vowel

;

as,

^It^Ai;,

the

sun,/

3ft1Ai)CA,

suns.

Colli,

Co]\\ze,

woods.

PjAT),

pain,/.

PlADCA,

bliASAjT?,

bljASAT^A,

and bl)A5AncA,

Feminine nouns

terminating

a voii-cl

in the nomina-

tive

singular form

the

plural

from

adding

i)a

;

as,

Cori)U|t|*A, a

Cori)u|tfAt}A,

Rule

—

Masculine

nouns (See Exception

to Rule

94,)

ending

ó]\\,

and masculines and

feminines

ÍT),

(pr.

een,)

form

the

plural from the nominative

singu-

lar

adding

; as,

SlAt)U]5ceo]ii, Saviour.

Oo|tfo||i, a

SAlfibin

(from

CaiIíi^,

Doftroi]ii6,

door-keepers.

^AjfibiDlb,

gardens.

Ci^][]V]6,

girls.

SAoice,

DAOjce,

sages.

dunces.

Note

—

" e," in the plural ending

of this class of nouns,

appears

redun-

dant

(though quite in accordance with

the usage of

the written

language),

since the

letters

alone represent

equally

as well the

sound,

and

the

plural

iniiection. The final

syllable in the plural of

Latin and

Italian

nouns terminating in i, sounds exactly like the Irish

plural ending

]ó.

We have,

therefore, analogy

some extent in favour

of this

slight

change.

Others by adding

;

as,

Sag], a sage.

Dao], a dunce, a

simple per-

son.

O]iA0i,

druid.

CéAni}ui5e,

merchant.

Si)ArÍ7ii]6e,

U]6,

There is not in the

vale in

whose bosom the bright waters meet

Oh ! the last ray

life

must

dejiart,

Ere the bloom of

that

valley

shall fade from

heart.

Yet,

it was not that Nature had shed o'er the

scene

Her

purest of crystal

and brightest of

green

;

'Twas not the soft

magic

streamlet or rill,

! no—it was

something more exquisite

still.

'Twas

that friends, the beloved of

bosom, were

near,

Who

made

every

of enchantment more

dear,

And

who felt how

the

best charms of nature

improve,

When

see them reflected

from looks

that we love.

The Minstrel

His father's sword he has girded

him.

said the warrior-bard,

Tho'

all the world betrays thee,

One

sword, at least, thy rights shall

guard,

One

harp shall

praise thee

II.

The

Minstrel

fell

—but

the foeman's

chain

Could

not bring his

proud soul

under;

The harp

loved ne'er spoke

again.

For he

tore its

chords asunder

;

And

said,

chains shall

sully

thee,

Thou

soul of

love and bravery,

Thy

songs

were made for the

pure

and

free,

They

shall

never sound in

slavery
