Manx
The situation in Manx is very similar to that in Scottish Gaelic. The future tense has the ending -ee in the independent form, which in many verbs is dropped in the dependent form. In addition, dependent forms undergo various initial mutations in Manx. For example:
Independent | Dependent | Gloss |
---|---|---|
tilgee | dilg | will throw |
faagee | n'aag / v'aag |
will leave |
eeee | n'ee | will eat |
cluinnee | gluin | will hear |
In Manx too, remnants of the deuterotonic/prototonic distinction of Old Irish are found in the independent/dependent distinction in some irregular verbs, for example:
Independent | Dependent | Gloss |
---|---|---|
va | row | was |
nee | jean | will do |
honnick | naik / vaik |
saw |
hie | jagh | went |
