Etymology
editFrom Old Irish ocht,[1] from Proto-Celtic *oxtū, from Proto-Indo-European *oḱtṓw.
Pronunciation
editNumeral
editocht (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-éin ― eight birds
- When used with the definite article, the definite article is always in the plural. When used with adjectives, the adjective is also in the plural and is always lenited after nouns in the singular; after nouns in the plural, the adjective only lenites after 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.
