Chapter XXI: Section II: Of the Government of Adjectives

Adjectives of fulness govern the Genitive; as, l[`a]n uamhainn _full of dread_, Acts, ix. 6, buidheach beidh, _satisfied with meat_.

The first Comparative takes the Particle na _than_, before the following Noun; as, ni 's gile na an sneachdadh, _whiter than the snow_, b' fhaide gach mios na bliadhna, _each month seemed longer than a year_. Smith's "Ant. Poems," p. 9.

The second Comparative is construed thus: is feairrd mi so, _I am the better for this_; bu mhisd e am buille sin, _he was the worse for that blow_; cha truimid a' choluinn a ciall, _the body is not the heavier for its understanding_.

Superlatives are followed by the Preposition de or dhe _of_; as, am fear a 's [`a]irde dhe 'n triuir, _the man who is tallest of the three_, _the tallest man of the three_.
