=Personal Names=

A personal name is a subtype of noun phrase.

There are a number of ways of constructing personal names:

1. A personal name can consist of a masculine forename or a feminine forename on its own, with case, gender and number inherited.

For example:
 * //Tha Seumas/Mòrag aig an taigh// [nominative case]
 * //Tha Gàidhlig aig Seumas/Mòrag// [dative case]
 * //do Sheumas/Mhòrag// [dative case, lenited by //do//]
 * //taigh Sheumais/Mòraig// [genitive case]

2. A personal name can consist of a masculine forename followed by a sequence of masculine singular adjectives, with case agreement:

(aig) Seumas Mòr taigh Sheumais Mhòir

Mòrag Bhàn aig Mòraig Bhàin taigh Mòraig Bàine

3. A personal name can consist of a forename followed by a surname.
