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.
