I wonder if adding one of those 'pronominal adjectives' as they're called changes the meaning somewhat, and if it does, does it tell us something?


Jay Bee - it is just gloine fíona. Gloine fhíona doesn't exist. You have to read literature to know this - and I'm not sure this would be clear from grammar books, which overcomplicate the presentation. But "glass of wine" is just gloine fíona.
