in adjectival formation. Adjj. are formed by composition of the particle in- (which Pedersen Vgl. Gr. § 358 (f) regards as probably an intensive prefix but see Ériu xx 83 ) with (a) a substantive (the term ionshamhlughadh is applied to this type of adj. in IGT Introd. 33 § 151 , § 152 ) or vn. or (b) a participle in -t(a)e, -th(a)e. These adjectives are indeclinable and those in group (a) have the meaning capable of, fit for, proper for, worthy of (the action, thing or person expressed by the substantive): with the vn. the sense is usually passive: ` fit to be ....' If formed with the part. they have nearly always the force of the Lat. gerundive.

in- lenited the following initial, but in some later examples sh- is replaced by ts-.

(a): [Where the substantive compounded with in- was an o-stem, the resulting adj. was an i- stem. Hence it came to be considered that these adjj. were formed with the gs. of the subst., and many of the later exx. consist of in-+g s. of a subst.

According to Binchy Celtica v 86 , some of the legal examples below have been wrongly assigned here.

I With accumulative force, may (a) precede the first of two parallel clauses which it unites, or may (b) precede the second.

(a) equivalent to Latin praeterquam quod; besides that, in addition to the fact that, while . . . also : s.¤ ni thartsat som ní comtachtmar-ni `they have given nothing, we have asked for nothing', Wb. 24b20 . s.¤ nī ciūir nī cossēna | ind nóeb `the holy one neither bought nor sought . . .', Thes. ii 332.3 ( Hy. v 22 ). s.¤ ba sáthech in cū de | ní bu brōnach int oscur, Thes. 334.2 ( Hy. v 28 ). is hí ind ríaguil chert | s.¤ ní mór ní becc, Fél. 4.15 . s.¤ ní lungu ní thibiu, IT i 79.18 ( LMU 17 ). aitend .i. āith-tend, s.¤ is āith is tend, Corm. Y 56 . s.¤ is bol is blathugud, Trip.² 1747 . s.¤ bíd Día, bíd duine `besides being God, He will be man', Imr.

In some later exx. ocus precedes the second clause: s.¤ ni tergaid assin n-ath illei ┐ ni regaid innund, Lat. Lives 54.14 . s.¤ rambía maith in chentair-siu ┐ flaith ind alltair . . . tall, Ériu ii 202 § 19 . sech (.i. deimin) rom-ícadhsom in fecht so ┐ ní fuil eim lot n-enigh duit-si ann, ZCP v 526.1 = is maith ar comrac or Ailill sech rom ícadsa afechtsa ni fil imlot n-einig daitso and, LU 10784 ( TE 14 ). `sech ni ricfe i luc (leg. illuc) ┐ ni toruis húc', Irish Texts i 18 § 53 .

(b) and moreover, and besides : techta fuillema gill aine trenege la Feine, direnar trib setaib . . . [s]ech is comdire do cach recht and moreover it is equal `díre' (?), Laws v 410.y .
