In cases where a complete paradigm cannot be reconstructed I have listed only the attested or reconstructable forms. Normalized spellings of attested forms are given in roman type, while reconstructed forms are given in italics. In the sample weak verbs, the distinction between attested and reconstructed forms is not made. In the case of verbs whose perfect tense is not formed by simply prefixing ro. Each verb is headed by the third person singular present form and the verbal noun form.
Most paradigms take up a full two-page spread, while some fit onto one page.
Throughout the book, question marks indicate an incomplete historical record or disagreement among scholars of Old Irish. Finally, I would like to thank my Old Irish teachers, Ruth P.M. Lehmann and Jay Jasanoff, for introducing me to one of the most fascinating languages I have ever encountered. All rights reserved.
