6. Adjectives.
Adjectives belonged (1) to the o- and the a- declensions, as *marvos, *marvâ, *marvon, now marbh, declined like the nouns of o- and a- declensions; (2) i- declension, as maith, *matis, *matis, *mati, the neuter nom. being the stem; (3) u- declension, as *tigus, *tigus (?), *tigu, now tiugh; and (4) consonantal adj., *tepens, te, téit, etc. Comparison was in two ways—(1) caomh: O. Ir. cóem, coemiu, coemem: *koimos, *koimjôs, *koimimos; (2) luath: O. Ir. lúath, lúathither, lúathem: *loutos, *loutiteros, *loutimos.
The numerals may be seen in the Dictionary in their Celtic form: *oinos, *dvâ, *treis, etc.
The pronouns are so phonetically gone astray that they cannot be restored.
