Freq. followed by an adj. or gs., as n.pr. f. As d.¤ nasalizes
a follg. f (orig. neut., cf. 1 bé? Or from the acc. sg.? See, however, O'Brien,
Celtica iii 178
) it is sometimes impossible to
distinguish between der bf- and derb ḟ-. Both forms are
allowed by grammarians and poets. Cf. the pl.:
Dera báil, do
Dheruibh báil, meic Dher mbáil, mell Dhera báil. Also: na
Derbha áil, dona Derbhuibh áil, meic Dhearbh n-áil,
