=Feminine Forenames=

A feminine forename can have two different case forms:
 * a basic nominative/dative form (e.g. //Mòrag//)
 * a slenderised genitive form (e.g. //Mòraig//).

If the basic form ends with either a vowel or a slender consonant, then both forms are identical (e.g. //Catrìona//, //Eilidh//).

The initial consonant of either form of a feminine forename is by default fortis, but may have lenition forced by an immediately preceding leniting word (e.g. //do Mhòrag//, //a Chatrìona//).

Here are some examples of the different forms in use:
 * //Tha Mòrag aig an taigh// ["Marion is at home" - nominative case]
 * //Tha Gàidhlig aig Mòrag// ["Marion has Gaelic" - dative case]
 * //do Mhòrag// [dative case, lenited by //do//]
 * //taigh Mòraig// ["Marion's house" - genitive case]

The written form of a feminine forename always begins with an uppercase letter.
