: I give up!! All my Manx grammar books state the "She x (eh/ee) y" (with or without the eh/ee) construction is perfectly fine. I've read that construction on so many occasions that I assumed it was correct (and is indeed the correct way in both Irish and Scottish Gaelic). I was also under the impression, (as per Stowell, Kelly, Draskau, etc.) that preposition + definite article causes lenition (unlike in Standard, Connacht and Munster Irish where it causes eclipsis, while in Donegal Irish and Scottish Gaelic it causes lenition), yet you seem to be removing incidents of just that type of lenition such as in the article [[Peintal]]. Rather than discuss things before changing them and seeing if consensus can be reached, you also seem to have quite a habit of unilateral changes, including article renaming (something which goes against the spirit of Wikipedia and its guidelines). On top of all this, and as a result, apparently my Manx dictionaries are all wrong (the word "caayr" was taken from a dictionary, and so was the word "abbyrt" with its translation. Fo-ghlaare isn't in any dictionary I have and its spelling runs contrary to the non-prefixed word of "glare" with a single "a"). Basically, it's your way or not at all. All my Manx dictionaries are wrong and all my Manx grammar books are wrong, which now means that I should throw them away and give up with Manx because, as I live in Ireland, it will now be impossible to learn Manx. It's all yours, Daniel. Do with the Manx Wikipedia as you wish.
