I do ghlanfainn Audio də ɣlɑnhiŋʹ   ní ghlanfainn Audio nʹi: ɣlɑnhiŋʹ
you s. do ghlanfá də ɣlɑnfɑ:   ní ghlanfá nʹi: ɣlɑnfɑ:

one do glanfaí də glɑnfʹi:   ní glanfaí nʹi: glɑnfʹi:

Note: in traditional Cork Irish, the autonomous form will be found unlenited after ní and after the relative particle, although current usage varies.

I do ghlanainn Audio də ɣlɑniŋʹ   ní ghlanainn Audio nʹi: ɣlɑniŋʹ
you s. do ghlantá də ɣlɑntɑ:   ní ghlantá nʹi: ɣlɑntɑ:

one do glantaí də glɑntʹi:   ní glantaí nʹi: glɑntʹi:

Note: in traditional Cork Irish, the autonomous form will be found unlenited after ní and after the relative particle, although current usage varies. The second person singular can also be do ghlanthá /də ɣlɑnhɑ:/, but one approach would  be to allow the n to keep the t unlenited under the dentals-dots rule.

I glanaim Audio glɑnimʹ   ná glanaim Audio nɑ: glɑnimʹ
you s. glan glɑn   ná glan nɑ: glɑn

we glanaimís glɑnimʹi:sʹ   ná glanaimís nɑ: glɑnimʹi:sʹ

he go nglanaidh sé gə ŋlɑni sʹe:   nár ghlanaidh sé nɑ:r ɣlɑni sʹe:
we go nglanaimíd gə ŋlɑnimʹi:dʹ   nár ghlanaimíd nɑ:r ɣlɑnimʹi:dʹ

they go nglanaid siad gə ŋlɑnidʹ sʹiəd   nár ghlanaid siad nɑ:r ɣlɑnidʹ sʹiəd
one go nglantar gə ŋlɑntər   nár glantar nɑ:r glɑntər

Note: in traditional Cork Irish, the autonomous form will be found unlenited after nár, although current usage varies. The present subjunctive is often replaced by the future tense (the presence or absence of f being the difference).

Imperfect subjunctive

  affirmative form     negative form  
I dá nglanainn Audio dɑ: ŋlɑniŋʹ   mara nglanainn Audio mɑrə ŋlɑniŋʹ
you s. dá nglantá dɑ: ŋlɑntɑ:   mara nglantá mɑrə ŋlɑntɑ:
he dá nglanadh sé dɑ: ŋlɑnəx sʹe:   mara nglanadh sé mɑrə ŋlɑnəx sʹe:

one dá nglantaí dɑ: ŋlɑntʹi:   mara nglantaí mɑrə ŋlɑntʹi:

Note: the past subjunctive is often replaced by the conditional tense (the presence or absence of f being the difference). The second person singular can also be dá nglanthá /dɑ: ŋlɑnhɑ:/, but one approach would  be to allow the n to keep the t unlenited under the dentals-dots rule.

  1. Habitual past or imperfect tense, and imperfect subjunctive: 3rd peron singular impersonal, (one):
    The orthographic spelling implies that the ‘t’ be broad, but IPA indicates that the pronunciation is actually slender.
    This appears to be either a misspelling which is accepted as normal, or a mispronunciation accepted as normal.
    This needs to be noted explicitly in the relevant tabulation.
