Usage notes

  • Affixed verbs ending in -igh form a sizeable number of second-conjugation verbs. Many monosyllabic verbs in Irish (which historically are not from affixes), however, are of the first conjugation.
    First-conjugation verbs (which are not a result of affixation):
    léigh (“read”)
    ligh (“lick”)
    nigh (“wash”)
    dóigh (“burn”)
    suigh (“sit”) (originally suidh)
    súigh (“suck”)
