Remind me of how in modern Irish, a prefixed t- appears before vowels in masculine nominative singular nouns. It relates to Proto-Celtic masculine nominative singular article *sindos. The t- is what remains of the d and s from Proto-Celtic:
an t-athair - the father
an t-úll - the apple
an t-each - the horse
an t-ospidéal - the hospital
