[Notes]
In this lesson we learn about ‘ar’ (‘on’). This preposition combines with the personal pronouns to give:
orm	= on me; 
ort	= on you; 
air	= on him; 
uirthi	= on her; 
orainn	= on us; 
oraibh	= on youse/ on y'all;
orthu	= on them

In Irish, feelings are ON you. Tá athas orm. ( The feeling of ) happiness is on me.
In Irish, you put your coat on yourself. Cuir ort do chotá. Put on (yourself), your coat.
