Editing Irish declension (section)

====Dative/Prepositional====
The dative/prepositional is used as the object of most simple prepositions except {{lang|ga|gan}} and {{lang|ga|go dtí}}. In [[standard language]], the dative is almost always identical to the nominative. Some dialects, however, have distinct standalone datives in the second and fifth declensions.  In the standard language, only two words {{lang|ga|Éire}} ("Ireland") and {{lang|ga|fiche}} ("twenty") have distinct datives - {{lang|ga|Éirinn}} and {{lang|ga|fichid}}, respectively. They are also found in certain fixed phrases with nouns of the second declension, such as {{lang|ga|os cionn}} ("above", lit. "over head" – {{lang|ga|cionn}} is the old dative of {{lang|ga|ceann}} ("head")).
