d. Notes:
 * 1) The conditional generic form //thoirteadh// is nowadays usually shortened (in both speech and writing) to //thoirte//.
 * 2) The initial consonant in //toir//, //toirear// , etc. is actually a D sound. Hence, the following spellings are sometimes found - //doir// , //doirear// , etc, and even //d' thoir// , //d' thoirear// , etc. [What about the verbal noun?]
 * 3) Forbes (1848) lists //thoirear// as an alternative imperative generic form.
