Irish noun[edit]

As can be seen in Ó Dónaill’s Foclóir Gaeilge-Béarla and in Irish grammar, the genitive of the verbal noun 'lorg' should be 'lorgtha', not 'loirg' (applicable for other meanings). I do not know how to divide this entry, to correct the genitive form (or how to include declension table just for the verbal noun) so I do not want to mess with it myself. // Silmeth @talk 21:15, 14 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Silmethule, fixed; thanks for pointing this out. Thanks also for fixing the conjugation class of the verb; it's odd that FGB's entry doesn't mention it, although EID, which cites verbs in the 1st person singular rather than the imperative, does give the form as lorgaím, not *lorgaim. I think the finite forms of the verb must be rare; Dinneen and FB don't list it as a verb at all, but only give verbal expressions like lorg a leanúint. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 06:46, 15 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
