Combinations with the article:
* prep. + ''an'' = prep. '''<nowiki />n'' (e.g. ''roimh 'n'')
* prep. + ''na'' = prep. ''sna'' (e.g. ''go dtí sna'')
Combinations with possessive adjectives:

* prep. + ''do'' + vowel = prep. ''t'<nowiki />'' (e.g. ''le t'<nowiki />'')
* prep. + ''do'' + consonant = prep. ''d'<nowiki />'' (e.g. ''trí d'<nowiki />'')
* prep. + ''a'' = prep. ''n-a'' (e.g. ''i n-a'')
* prep. + ''ár'' = prep. ''n-ár'' (e.g. ''aige n-ár'')
* prep. + ''úr'' = prep. ''n-úr'' (e.g. ''do n-úr'')
Combined with the numeral particle:
* prep. + ''a'' = prep. ''n-a'' (e.g. ''fé n-a'')
Exceptionally, ''i'', ''le'' and ''trí'' give the following unique combinations with the article:
* ''i'' + ''an'' + consonant = ''sa'' <ref group="note">Sometimes ''in sa'', which is interchangeable with ''sa''.</ref>
