Irish

dár (triggers lenition; used with regular past tense verbs)

Contraction of de + ar: of/from which/whom
- 1899, Franz Nikolaus Finck, Die araner mundart, volume II (overall work in German), Marburg: Elwert’sche Verlagsbuchhandlung, page 64:
  ḱē gə rø šē ān ȳstə, xivnə šē əŕ x ilə ryd, dār xuələ šē.
  [Cé go raibh sé an-aosta, chuimhnigh sé ar chuile rud dár chuala sé.]
  Although he was very old, he remembered everything of which he heard.
Contraction of do + ar: to/for which/whom
gach díol dár fhulaing sé ― every treatment that he endured

dár (triggers eclipsis)

Contraction of de + ár.
beagán dár muintir ― a few of our people
Contraction of do + ár.
gan aon dár mbuaireamh ― with no one to trouble us

This contraction is obligatory; that is, *de/do ar/ár never appears uncontracted.
