Examples

“Níor bh’fhada i n-a dhiaidh sin gur tháinig an long chun cuain agus do tháinig an captaen óg go dtí an tig; ach ní raibh an ceannaidhe roimis, ach mara raibh bhí Máire Bhán roimis agus do fháiltigh sí roimis mar ba chóir.”

It was not long after this that the ship came to harbor and the young captain came to the house; but the merchant was not there [lit. ‘was not before him’], but if he was not, Máire Bhán was there [lit. ‘was before him’] and she welcomed him as it was fitting.
