Abstract:

The Elements of Gaelic Grammar
Based on the work of the Rev. Alexander Stewart, D.D.

H. Cameron Gillies

The purpose of this Grammar is to afford assistance to such as may
desire a living and intelligent acquaintance with the Gaelic language
of  Scotland.  With  this object in view, it was at first my settled
intention to make little or no reference to the older language, but I
soon found this to be impossible. An intelligent understanding of the
Gaelic of the present day cannot be attained without some reference to
the older language from which the later grammatical forms had origin.
A special regard also has been endeavoured to the phonetic basis of
the language. The division of Nouns into three Declensions is
different from all previous classifications. The arangement of the
tenses of the verb is so far new (adapted from the preface of the 2nd
edition. Re-edition, originally published 1902 in London).
Contents:  Part I:  Pronunciation and orthography (alphabet, the
sounds of the vowels, the power of the consonants). Aspiration of the
initial consonant, eclipsis and vowel correspondence. Part II: Parts
of speech (article, nouns, adjective, numerals,  pronouns, verbs,
adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, interjections). Part III:
Derivation and composition. Part IV: Syntax.
