Notes on the Numerals.
168. There is another very idiomatic way of expressing the numbers above twenty-one, viz., by placing the word fiċead alone after the first numeral:—deiċ fiċead, 30: fiċead is really the genitive of fiċe, so that the literal meaning of deiċ fiċead is ten of twenty; deiċ gcapaill fiċead, 30 horses; seaċt mba fiċead, 27 cows.
169. Whenever any numeral less than twenty is used by itself (i.e., not followed immediately by a noun), the particle a[1] must be used before it. This a prefixes h- to vowels:—a h‑aon, one; a dó, two; a h‑oċt, eight.
- Tá sé a ceaṫair a ċlog, it is four o'clock.
- Tá sé leaṫ-uair d’éis a dó, it is half past two.
