Usage notes
Like all d-initial forms of abair, this term is immune to lenition and does not undergo eclipsis after the interrogative particle an. Like many irregular verbs, this past-tense form takes the preverbal particles normally associated with non-past tenses (ní, an, go, etc., rather than níor, ar, gur).
