AEI.
122. This trigraph occurs in only one or two words—e.g., aeir (= é + slender r), the gen. of aer (broad r).
UÍO.
123. This trigraph has been introduced into Irish writing only very recently. The Literary spelling of this trigraph is ġail (aoi being employed later). The sound is í preceded by a broad consonant (§ 71). The final l is broad in Desmond (hence the spelling {{insular|uío), but slender everywhere else, consequently the literary spelling ġail had better be retained.
It may not be out of place to mention here that the termination -ġail is employed to form verbal nouns from many verbs expressing sounds made by the mouth and speech organs; also from verbs expressing sudden actions.
