is annexed

to each

root

; to which, by

supplying the personal

pronouns,

the

persons

of each

tense are

formed.

Note. —

After

the

Although the above

rule

plain and short,

is not objectively

correct

; for it is

not from the

root precisely,

so much

as from the

first

person

singular of

each of the

several tenses, active

voice, that

the

indicative

tenses

of the passive

are formed;

just as in Latin

—

amat,

amat?<r;

amant,

amantwr; amabit,

amabitur. The

perfects

of the

passive

then are

formed

each

from its

From the

conjugation of

these verbs,

called in Irish

Grammar irregular,

presented to the

learner in this

and the

foregoing lessons,

it is seen that they

are

perfectly

regular

their numbers and

persons, and are

irregular only in

this,

that they

want certain tenses.

The tenses which make

any show of

difficulty to

the learner, are the perfect

and infinitive.

In language

itself," says Latham ('English Language,'

336,

fourth

edition),

there is

no irregularity.

The

word itself

only another name

for

our

ignorance of

the processes

that change

words."

Again,

"The whole

scheme of language

is analogical."

Note.

—

The verb rAbAjtt,

give,

seems

to be

derived from

the verb

beininj,

itself,

and

certain

prefix

expressive of

being, essence, a

thing, a

real

gift

; and appearing to be

meaning, and

very likely

derived from

the

old verb,

cXn,

am, is, are,

which is found

in the

present tense of

the verb

bejc, to be

—of which

said

ci\,

the

infinitive,

would be

zso,"

being,

essence,

a reality. Ci\be]tt|tij or

rAbAitijn),

then

means, I

give in reality,

bestow,

confer

gift,

favour,

the like. ^Yith this

meaning it

has

certain

force and

strength, which

the verb bc|ri]n) has not, and is

on that account

employed solely

that mood—the

imperative

—in

which command,

entreaty,

is implied, and

the

infinitive,

because

that

mood,

being

verbal noun, con-

veys the idea of

imparting gifts,

cAbAjar,

(cAbAficAV

—a

gift bestowed.)

The future

tense

of cAbAjjt, although

composed

two

syllables,

receives

not the suffix

ocAb,

but

pAb, the future

suffix peculiar to

verbs of the first

conjugation

—

like the

simple

verb

bejit,

for derivative and

compound

verbs

most

instances

the

analogy of their

primitives and sim-

ples.

Obs. 2—

According to

Dr.

Johnson the

verb

give" in

English

has twenty-two

different meanings,

primary and

secondary, and

receives

nine others additional from

the

accessary

aid

of prepositions and adverbs, such as in,

out,

''/'j

^ff^

(íis» up,

crive

over.

give out, &c). These

sev'eral meanings-

—

primary, secondary, and accessory

—the

verb

bejfiim

(cAbfiAirr))

in Irish receives. But it is necessary

to remark that CAbA|]t, be]]t, and

0115

have the meaning ot

bejft,

bear, bring,

convey,

carry, along with

that

which signi-

fies give;

as,

Thus

Irish

ideas apparently opposed one

the

other.

this

Keltic root the

Latin

word

allodium,"

freehold, ancient, or

independent possession

of land

—

term for which there has been

discovered no satisfactory deriva-

tion, appearstohave been

formed.

Allodium

opposed

in meaning

feudum,

fief, or

feefarm, i.e.,

land held

from

patron,

for

which

the client promises fidem,

faith, or

dutiful service. Taking

feudum, or, as

it was at

first

spelled foedum, to be derived

from the

Keltic pos, the

sod,

turf, or earth,

it means

mere

possession

of the soil

one's

use, but not to have the

allodium,

or original ancient

right and title

it which the
