mo ṫeaċ-sa, my house; a ṫeaċ-san, his house; ár dteaċ-ne, our house; mise, myself; seisean, himself; aca-san, at themselves; buailim-se, I strike.

- mo ṫeaċ féin, my own house
- mo ṫeaċ-sa féin, even my house
- mo ṫeaċ breáġ mór-sa, my fine large house
mo ṫeaċ féin and mo ṫeaċ-sa may both mean "my house," but the latter is used when we wish to distinguish our own property from that of another person; as, your house and mine, do ṫeaċ-sa agus mo ṫeaċ-sa.
