Editing Vocative case (section)

=====Manx=====
The basic pattern is similar to Irish and Scottish. The vocative is confined to personal names, in which it is common. Foreign names (not of Manx origin) are not used in the vocative. The vocative case causes [[lenition]] of the initial consonant of names. It can be used with the particle "{{lang|gv|y}}".
