19. Late forms ending in the stem-consonant. 

 Olacon = Olclion, nom. Okliu. 



Vecrec 117, Veqreq 189 = *Veqarigas = Fcchureg, Adamnan (where chu 

 probably stands for an aspirate q rather than a distinct syllable, cf. the 

 Lowland Scotch symbol q_vJi m. FarqvJiar = Fear char, etc.), Fcclircg, FecJirecJi, 

 Fiechrach, later FiacJurtch. Mid. I. nom. Fiaclvra. 



Rittavvecc 100 = Rittavveeas 69 = Rethach. 



Conunett 60 = Cunanetas 225. 



Colabot 78, 183, CoUabota 212.^ 



Luguduc 184 (read Lugudec ? = Lugudeccas 208). 



Liag in Maqi-Liag 23, Maq-Leog (Liag) 124, is possibly gen. pi. Ms. liac, 

 liacc, modern Hag, nom. lie, Ha. 



20. Unusual stem-endings are indicated in Tabirass 61, Tobira 198, 

 Cobranoras 71, Noarra 116, Axeras 196, Cimavas 126, Egsamvva 205, 

 Q,enga 84. Some of these in -a may represent -ai, like miico = mucoi, 76, 78. 



Genitives in -os. 



21. Genitives in -os change in transitional forms to -o, which persists in 

 late Ogham and early MS. forms, but already in 0. I. -o begins to change to 

 -a, which remains in Middle and Modern Irish. 



22. Genitives in -os arise (1) from ?'-stems, (2j from -zf-stems. 



23. From ';!-stems : 



Suvallos 15, cf. sidhir, suthain, etc. 



Ducovaros 15, cf. coMr, cobair, 'help.' I imagine this name may belong to 

 a class in which the possessive du was an element, and which were imitated 

 in Christian nomenclature by names like Du Luae, L. Arm., later DaHia. 

 The Christian names in Mii, Mo, have their models in the pre-Christian 

 pedigrees, e.g. Gorcu mn Druad = Dal me- Bniad, Messamain, Mo Ghii and 

 Me^ Chii, Mecliar (= my horseman).

 genealogies BB 155, 159. Cf. cdlaid, ' wild,' Con Alta gen. of Cu Allaid AIT. 

 Or it may be gen. of *allatus = allud, ' fame,' etc. As eponym of the Altraige, 

 the gen. is given as [Brendanus mocu) AUi by Adamnan, but this maj' be a 

 latinization. 



Dego 193 = Dego, L. Arm., nom. Baig. 



1 Nom. Collduh BB 124a21, copyist's error for Colhih, as Cathdub, CoeMub occnr for Gathub, Coelub.
