SIXTIETH

LESSON.

Note.

—

The student who knows

only

English

should be made

aware of

the

several

meanings which the

preposition

of" in its various relations

with

nouns

is capable of

admitting.

Dr. Johnson counts

twenty-three.

These

can

all be grouped under four heads.

Of"

denotes

—

(1)

Origin,

cause, possession.

(2)

Class, rank,

partnership.

(3)

has the meaning

among,

on,

from.

(4)

0/"

expresses

property,

quality, attribute.

(

)

Of,

in the

f,rst

sense

translated

into Gaelic

the

genitive, for that

case gives the idea of origin, cause,

mate-

rial,

possession,

&c.

(2)

Of,

the second

sense,

rendered

be,"

of, (same

the French de),

whenever it follows

numerals, adjectives,

of the comparative and

the

superlative

degrees, partitives,

nonns denoting fullness,

abundance,

and the contrary,

The

Exercises of these

could not

have

a more elegant

befitting finish than

the dialogue

(Homer's

Iliad,

lated into

Iri.sh heroic metre by Dr.

MacHale) between Hector and

Andro-

which breathe through the original

are

infused

nay, through

every

word,

the

simple familiar

Irish in

which it has been rendered

by the great prelate poet.

THE ADJECTIVE.

The syntax of the adjective has been

from time to time

pointed

out in

these lessons—its position (see first andthirty-seventh

lesson)

;

its agreement

with the

noun (see

thirty-fifth lesson,

286)

;

its idioms

(thirty-seventh

and thirty-eighth)

;

its

governing effects (twenty-ninth aud

fifty-eighth).

GOVERNING

POWER OF THE

VERB.

That an active verb

governs the

objective or

accusative

case, every learner

knows

;

as,

John loves God, 5]iíxóu]5eAi)i)

Seív5Ai)

Í)]a

;

God

loves

John; 5]aíxÓu]5eAUi)

ÍDja

Seí\5At?.

these sentences the nominative case comes

after

the verb,

as well

as the

accusative. The first (or nominative) comes

immediately

after;

the

accusa-

tive

next in order after the nominative.

In old Irish writings the nominative case

found

sometimes

before

the

verb.

It is

employed in poetry, too, in the

same

manner.

Prepositions govern

the dative

—

fact

prepositions

govern no

other case ; as,
