Etymology[edit]
From Old Irish ocht, from Proto-Celtic *oxtū, from Proto-Indo-European *oḱtṓw.
Pronunciation[edit]
Numeral[edit]
ocht (triggers eclipsis)
Usage notes[edit]
- May be used with nouns in both the singular and plural; the singular is more common in general, but the plural must be used with units of measurement and the like. Triggers eclipsis:
- ocht gcat ― eight cats
- ocht dtroithe ― eight feet
- ocht n-uaire ― eight times
- When used with the definite article, the definite article is always in the plural. When used with nouns modified by adjectives, the adjective is also in the plural and is always lenited after nouns in the singular but only lenites after nouns in the plural when they end in slender consonants:
- ocht gcapall bhána ― eight white horses
- na hocht n-eaglais mhóra ― the eight big churches
- But:
- ocht gcapaill bhána ― eight white horses
- na hocht n-eaglaisí móra ― the eight big churches
- When referring to human beings, the personal form ochtar is used.
