Useful information 12: The vocative case

The vocative case is used when addressing someone directly. There were three examples in Conversation 1D:

a Shéamais
Séamas

a Shiobhán
Siobhán

a Mháire
Máire

Changes occur to the beginning of many Irish language names, both male and female, in the vocative case and also to the end of some male names.
