Glides
The first glide is the normal form: this is an apple: tra sze bowla. The second glide is the define form: the apple is in my mouth: bhowla szet éa mhún géa. The third glide is the normal form, but it is mutated: he eats an apple: ádat bpowla. The fourth glide is the define, mutated form: he eats the apple: ádat bphowla.

Mutations are used when a word starting with a voiced consonant follows a word ending on a voiceless consonant or when a word starting with a voiceless consonant follows a word ending on a voiced consonant.

Genitive
The genitive cases is constructed by adding úa- as a prefix to the noun. Normally the fourth glide is used, but when the fourth glide is voiceless the second glide is taken. Words beginning on j- always take the second glide. Compare:
 * (year) s. ján -> úahján; p. jáin -> úahjáin
 * (dog) s. gón -> úaghón; p. góin -> úaghóin
 * (cat) s. kat -> úakghat; p. kait -> úakghait

Plural
The plural is usually constructed by adding -i- in the first syllable. So: (one road) oim báta -> (two roads) dwoi báita; (one dog) oin gón -> (two dogs) dwoi góin. This construction is also used with all glides and with the genitive. Some words have an irregular plural, like: (one day) oin gúi -> (two days) dwoi gwi; (one man) oi méa -> (two men) dwoi mlú (pronunciation: [luː]).

Verb
With glide. Without glide. Irregular: with glide.
