How It Works

Ó expresses from and generally lenites a following consonant: ó Bhaile Átha Cliath. Its pronominal forms include uaim and uaithi.

Ó can mark an origin or a starting point. It normally lenites an eligible following consonant in a bare noun phrase. The article and personal-pronoun combinations have their own forms, so learn ón and uaim alongside the simple preposition.
