II int-í (article+-í, used substantivally). The article
is declined throughout ; -í is invariable but in later texts
the -b of the dat. pl. ending is added to -í. On the analogy
of é and sé, int-í became int-é. This form appears as early
as S.R. Later there are a few exx. of intía. See below.
In Mid. Ir. the neut. an-í through confusion with the subst.
ní became an ní, in ní and sometimes ind ní.
