Editing Irish declension (section)

====Vocative====
The vocative case ({{lang|ga|an tuiseal gairmeach}}) is used in direct address, and is always preceded by the [[grammatical particle|particle]] {{lang|ga|a}}, which triggers [[Irish initial mutations|lenition]] (the vocative  particle is not pronounced before a [[vowel]] sound).  The first declension is the only declension in which the vocative is distinct from the nominative.
