- When discussing 'exclusive' rights in legal Irish, the term saincheart is used, where sain means 'special' and ceart means 'right'.
- Because Irish is a VSO language, an adjective like eisiach often follows the noun it describes. This creates a rhythmic pattern that is the opposite of the 'adjective before noun' order in English.
