This prefix is also often used before vowel sounds (that includes a/á, e/é, i/í, o/ó, u/ú as well, not just lenited f) in the past tenses (both habitual and preterite)[/i]).

I think I just came across an example of this.
I’m listening to an audio book by Kerry native speaker Sláine Ní Chathalláin called “Nain”.
And in the chapter “Muintir Nain” at around 4:30 she says “ní dh’fhág Nain talamh na hÉireann riamh”.
I thought this was quite interesting as the usage of dh here would only show up in the new past tense system (where all the r forms are dropped), which Sláine uses.

Séamus - by your original message, did you mean that forms like ní dh’fhágfad and ní dh’fhágann do not exist?

I have encountered dh' being used in the past tense alongside present negative particle (i.e. like ní dh'fhág, as you provided), but I have not yet found dh' being used in the present or future tense.
