Usage notes

  • According to the 2009 Gaelic Orthographic Conventions, this form should be used for the noun "the following year", while for the adverbial expression "the year after this one" the form with hyphens (an-ath-bhliadhna) should be used. However, in older texts this rule isn't strictly adhered to.
