H After Adverbial Go
Adverbial go prefixes h before a vowel-initial adjective: go hiontach. Distinguish this from the complementizer go.
How It Works
Adverbial go prefixes h before a vowel-initial adjective: go hiontach. Distinguish this from the complementizer go.
Adverbial go adds h before a vowel-initial adjective. Thus iontach becomes go hiontach and álainn becomes go hálainn. This is separate from the conjunction go before a finite clause, which has different grammatical effects.
