Usage notes
[edit]When used to modify a noun, ocht triggers eclipsis of a following noun, which is in the genitive plural; déag follows the noun.
The form aon deich a hocht was prescribed by Peadar Ua Laoghaire in the 1920s, but it is unclear whether it has ever been used by native speakers.
Mutation
