Subject: Irish adjectival Agreement

Dear Celtling:

        I have a wee question about Irish adjectival agreement.  I read
somewhere that predicate adjectives don't inflect for number and case,
but the book didn't give any relevant examples.  So in the following
sentences, could someone tell me which is the right adjectiuval form?

        Ta/ na fir (mo/r mo/ra).
        Ta/ siad na fir reasu/nta (mo/r mor/ra)

                                                Go raibh maith agaibh

                                                Elizabeth J. Pyatt
                                                pyatt1 at fas.harvard.edu
