# <!-- inspired by "beit-halachmi" --> Especially when a suffix is added to the whole phrase, the article may be placed right before the last word: ''Cló an Fhábhaí'' 'the Clofabian (person)', ''Cló an Fhábhais'' 'the Clofabian language'. The article's number is the number of the whole noun phrase. The article forces the last word to mutate the same way as the ''first'' noun in the chain; this distinguishes, for example, ''NOUN1 an1 NOUN2-í'' (-í modifies the whole phrase "NOUN1 NOUN2") and ''NOUN1 an2 NOUN2-í'' (-í modifies NOUN2). | # <!-- inspired by "beit-halachmi" --> Especially when a suffix is added to the whole phrase, the article may be placed right before the last word: ''Cló an Fhábhaí'' 'the Clofabian (person)', ''Cló an Fhábhais'' 'the Clofabian language'.
