This letter, for its sound and changes, see Remark 28, &c. The
feature of all the adjectives and the participles past of the language (which
only I have marked participles) when initialled by this letter [viz. s’],
is a feature that is not, perhaps, in any other language, but peculiar to the
Manks alone; when such adjective ends in -agh, that -agh generally
changes to -ee in the comparative and superlative degrees. See 58.
