Usage notes

After a preposition ending in a vowel, the preposition and the a may contract in the usual way for a ‎(“his”), or the a may be deleted (though its lenition effect on chéile remains):

• lena chéile or le chéile‎ ― with each other
• óna chéile or ó chéile‎ ― from each other

Derived terms

• as éadan a chéile
• le chéile
• trína chéile
