Usage notes
[edit]When used to modify a noun, sé triggers lenition of a following consonant-initial noun in the singular and h-prothesis of one in the plural; déag follows the noun.
The form aon deich a sé was prescribed by Peadar Ua Laoghaire in the 1920s, but it is unclear whether it has ever been used by native speakers.
