How It Works

Dhá is followed by a singular-form noun and usually lenition: dhá bhád. Some nouns have special traditional dual forms.

Dhá takes a singular-form counting noun in ordinary phrases and normally lenites it: dhá bhád, dhá chapall. Some traditional forms differ from the ordinary singular, especially with certain body-part nouns. An adjective following a counted phrase needs separate agreement rules.
