===Don't use "aon" for "one (of them)"===
Please don't use "aon" for "one (of them)", i.e. don't write "aon acu". It is never or almost never used by native writers (the only text where I have seen it was folklore written down from a terminal speaker of a dying dialect, which IMHO marks it as Anglicism). Instead, use:
* '''duine acu''' for "one of them" if "they" are people
* '''bean acu''' for "one of them" if "they" are exclusively women or girls
* '''fear acu''' for "one of them" if it needs to be especially stressed that the one is a man
* '''ceann acu''' for "one of them" if "they" are things or animals.
So:
one of the girls = "bean de na cailíní", one of them = "bean acu"
one of the boys = "duine de na buachaillí", one of them = "duine acu"
one of the screwdrivers = "ceann de na scriúirí", one of them = "ceann acu"
