The beginning of the verb changes according to these rules:
mo | my | |
do | your (singular) | |
a/a h- | her | h-vowel |
a | his | |
ar/ar n- | our | n-vowel |
ur/ur n- | your (polite/plural) | n-vowel |
an/am | their | am for bfmp |
Chaidh | mo | thoirt dhachaigh. |
Went | my | taking homewards. |

An deach | ur n- | aithneachadh? |
Did go | Your | recognising? |
Did you | get | recognised? |
