The preposition bho (from) is sometimes written as o, which we can see in phrases like o chionn ghoirid (a while ago). This preposition lenites the following noun where possible.
bho Dhòmhnall
from Donald
bho Mhàiri
from Màiri
bho chuideigin
from someone
An d’ fhuair sibh cuireadh bho Mhàiri?

Am faca tu am preusant bho Iain?
Did you see the present (gift) from John?
An faigh thu na h-iuchraichean bho Dhòmhnall?

When we use bho with the definite article, it becomes bhon and causes nouns which follow it to be in the dative case.
bhon uinneig sin
from that window
bhon taigh agam
from my house
bhon bhaile seo
from this town
An d’ fhuair thu litir bhon sgoil?
