Page 205. Greim aráin = “a piece of bread.” Arán is pronounced as if spelt ’rán, and An t-Arán is pronounced an Trán.

Page 206. Dá dtrian = ”two-thirds.”

Page 207. Tuairm = “an opinion,” “a supposition.”

Page 209. Eilit = “a fawn.” Cloiḋeaṁ, “a sword,” is pronounced like clavvah in many parts of Connacht. ḃuain = the gen. of buan, “lasting,” “imperishable.”

Page 210. Coróg = “the hip,” a very common word in Connacht, but one not to be found in dictionaries.

Page 212. A ḋá-deug clanna-ṁac = “his twelve sons,” a curious and apparently ungrammatical expression which I have not ventured to change.



THE END.
