When a preposition occurs with a possessive pronoun, it can combine into a prepositional possessive pronoun, also known as a possessive prepositions. You may often find the prepositions and possessive pronouns written separately. Some prepositions such as à, aig (but not its shortened form ag or a') and air are written separately.
Combinations with mo (my), do (your) and a (his) cause the following verb or noun to lenite. For example, nam shuidhe (in my sitting), nad shuidhe (in your sitting) and na shuidhe (in his sitting).
Combinations with a (her) add h- to the following verb or noun when it begins with a vowel. For example, ga h-ainmeachadh (mentioning her). Note that this combination does does lenite the following verb or noun. For example, na suidhe (in her sitting) versus na shuidhe (in his sitting), and ri ghluasad (to be moved, masculine) versus ri gluasad (to be moved, feminine).
Combinations with ar (our) and ur (your) add n- to the following verb or noun when it begins with a vowel. For example, gar n-ainmeachadh (mentioning us) and gur n-ainmeachadh (mentioning you).
The combinations nan, gan and rin become nam, gam and rim before a verb or noun beginning with b-, f-, m- or p-. For example, rim pàigheadh (to be paid) and gam faicinn (seeing them).
