"An elephant has a long nose."

Translation: Tá srón fhada ag eilifint.

Why is it 'ar' for humans and 'ag' for elephants? Is that a rule in Irish?

[scilling]

No — it should be ar for elephants (and any other creature with an external nose) too.

What the heck!!! 2 questions back I was asked to translate Tá srón fhada ar eilifint into English, and I thought they'd finally fixed that stupid error with ag!!!!
