Usage notes

In marking possession, the usage of sa is contrasted with that of og in certain possessive relations, such as kinship terms:

inahan og hari ― mother of a king
But this distinction does not apply to all possessive phrases:
mga dahon sa punuan ― (a/the) tree's leaves

mga dahon og punuan ― is ungrammatical
However, the contrast is mostly unused in everyday speech, with sa used in all possessive phrases.

Contraction

sa

Contraction of i + an.
Tá an fear sa bhád. ― The man is in the boat

Tá na páistí ag súgradh sa tsráid. ― The children are playing in the street.

Táimid inár suí sa seomra (or) tseomra. ― We are sitting in the room.

Usage notes

This contraction is obligatory, i.e. *i an never appears uncontracted. Used before consonant sounds only; otherwise, san is used. Triggers:

lenition of b, c, f, g, m, p and changes initial s to ts in Ulster varieties,
lenition of b, c, g, m, p, changes initial s to ts, and triggers eclipsis of f in Munster varieties,
eclipsis and changes initial s to ts in feminine nouns while not affecting s in masculine nouns in Connacht varieties,
in An Caighdeán Oifigiúil causes lenition of b, c, f, g, m, p and changes initial s to ts in feminine nouns (An Córas Lárnach) or all nouns (Córas an tSéimhithe).

Often understood to be a contraction of ins an, but the forms san, sa were in common use by the 12th century and accepted in Classical Gaelic poetry while ins is a later innovation with the -n- reintroduced by analogy.

Maltese

Etymology

Probably from Arabic حَتَّى (ḥattā, “until; as far as; even”). The form, though without doubt unusual, might be explained from earlier *ħta by assimilation in fast speech. Compare Moroccan Arabic حتى (ḥta). Compare also Spanish hasta, which, if related, might point to the existence of an obsolete Maghrebi variant *ḥastā. Joseph Aquilina preferred to derive the Maltese form from a contraction of Italian sino a, variant of fino a (“until; as far as”). Both may also have reinforced each other.
