Hi everyone, so there are some verbs that end in a slender consonant in some tense forms - 2nd person imperatives and 3rd person past tense (or all past tense forms when scartha, probably), but otherwise the verb root is broad.
As examples I think siúil and tochais do this as well as all those 1st conjugation syncopating verbs (codail, ceangail etc.)
e.g. siú
il: shiú
il sé but shi
úlaimíd, si
úlann sé, bhí sé ag si
úl and so on.
I've been working through Teach Yourself Irish 1951 and there's only small mention of this in the 2nd footnote on page 114:
Teach Yourself Irish wrote:
Some verb stems ending in a broad consonant form the 3 sg. past (and 2nd sg. imperative) with a slender final: do cheangail sé, do mhachnaimh sé.
I'm wondering if anyone knows of another grammar resource that expands on this wrt Munster Irish?
Or if not, is there an easy way to identify these types of verbs (outside of the syncopating ones)?
