Does elision occur before f + consonant? Thus, is it: mo fhraoch, do fhreagra, etc., fhrioch mé, fhreagair mé, etc., or m'fhraoch, d'fhreagair mé, etc.?
Possessive adjectives
mo (my) and
do (your) become m' and d' only before vowels (and fh + vowel)
But in
do fhreagra there's no vowel but r, so
do fhreagra (your answer) is more common.
It is different in case of the
verbal particle do in past/imperfect/conditional.
There's d' before vowels, fh + vowels
and fh + r + vowel
so
d'fhreagair mé is more common than
(do) fhreagair mé (I answered).
But in words beginning in fhl- there is often no d',
so rather
fhliuch mé than
d'fhliuch mé (I wetted).
