Notes:

1.  The list includes the regular verbs "cuir" and "fàg" and all ten of
the irregular verbs.  The first person singular and plural are listed in
parentheses.  Alternate forms are listed in brackets.

2.  "Nach" optionally lenites a following verb beginning with 'f':  "nach
fàg thu?"  and "nach fhàg thu?" are both correct.

3.  The un-lenited form "tu":  "tu" is not lenited following the relative
future ending '-as' or the conditional ending '-adh'.  It is not lenited
following the past tense verbs "cuala", "chuala", "faca", "fhaca".  Some
speakers use "tu", some use "thu"  after the future ending '-idh'.

4.  The past tense marker "do" followed by 'fh' or 'th' or 'r' usually
contracts to "d'fh-", "d'th-", and "d'r-":  "an d'fhuair thu?", "an
d'thuirt thu?", "an d'rug thu?".  The combination "d'th-" may further
change into a mere 't' or 'd':  "an tuirt thu?", "an duirt thu?".  These
changes normally happen in speech, and optionally are indicated in
writing.

5.  The irregular verb "abair" is often replaced by the regular verb "can"
in the future and conditional, but not normally in the past.

6.  The verb "beir" is commonly used with the preposition "air" to mean
"catch hold of" or "catch up to":  "rug mi orra", I caught up to them;
"beir air mo làmh", catch my hand.

7.  The verb "toir" requires a preposition to determine the direction of
exchange:  "an toir thu dhomh pìos arain?", will you give me a piece of
bread; "thug e airgead bhuam", he took money from me.

8.  To avoid ambiguity with the conditional of "beir", you can use
"thoireadh" or "thugadh" for the conditional of "toir".
