1. accusative singular of tria

From Middle Irish trían, from Old Irish trïan.^[1]

trian m (genitive singular triain, nominative plural trianta or treana)

1. third (one of three equal parts of a whole)

This word frequently irregularly undergoes eclipsis rather than lenition after dhá (“two”): dhá dtrian ― two thirds. This is a remnant of Old Irish, in which trïan was a neuter noun, and neuter nouns undergo eclipsis after dá.
