 Stems whose past and imperative stems fall together get the preverb ro-/re-/ri- (pronounced /rə-/ or /r{{uvu}}ə-/ depending on the first consonant; from Middle Irish ro, from the Old Irish perfect preverb) in the past tense, do-/de-/di- if the first consonant in the stem is R/r. Adding the Irish preverb ''ro'' to native verbs was at first an affected hyper-Hibernism used by the middle class, and even today some conservative dialects only use rə-/də- in the past tense when the verb is affirmative:
-: ''– El{{cll}} g{{cll}}addi{{sīn}} Calum{{cll}} eljevm? – Mè g{{cll}}addi{{sīn}} s.'' (Standard ''Er{{cll}} rog{{cll}}addi{{sīn}}...? Mè rog{{cll}}addi{{sīn}} s.'')
+: ''– A g{{cll}}addi{{sīn}} Calum{{cll}} eljevm? – Mè g{{cll}}addi{{sīn}} s.'' (Standard ''Ar{{cll}} rog{{cll}}addi{{sīn}}...? Mè rog{{cll}}addi{{sīn}} s.'')
 : – Did Calum{{cll}} attend Mass today? – He did not.
