2 Madradh (M). = madadh (C.U.)

3 Cuir dhíot = undress (C.) D incompounds of do
and de is aspirated only after vowels in M., but also after
consonants, except d, n, t, s, in C and U.

4 Brothal (brothghal?) is not in O'R. It is a common
word, meaning close heat, - brothalach, sultry. Bainfear
an brothal as, he'll get a cooling.

5 Doigh, a sharp pain, an ache. Doigh fhiacla, an ache
in the tooth. Doightheacha fiacal, toothache. Doigh
imleacáin, a touch of colic. Doigh chinn, a sharp head-
ache. Doigh ionnat! pains take you! "Doigh i n-a
chroidhe ná híosadh feoil, Satharn, Aoine, is gach lá
gheobhadh!" "An ache in his heart who would not eat
fleshmeat on Saturday, Friday, and every day he would
get it!" Pronounced dhĕh (C.), dheg, dhig (M.), plural,

8 Cuir an gadhar as an muic, set the dog on the pig
(C.), lit., "out of," as if the dog was to hang by the teeth
out of the side of the pig.

9 Also cuir fá smachd é.

10 Lit., I will put it as of obligations on you to stop.
This phrase d'fhiachaibh suffers endless corruptions in com-
mon use. The d' is often dropped, and such forms as
d'fhiachaint, d'fhiafach, d'iallach are frequently heard.

11 Malairt, lit., an exchange, has a very idiomatic use.
Ní'l a mhalairt agam, I have nothing else. "Ní bás
duit acht malairt bheathadh," "it is not death for you,
but a new life." "Gan rogha na malairt áruis,"
"without choice or alternative of abode." Malairt
phearsan is what O'Mulloy (Lucerna Fidelium) calls a
"tu quoque" argument.

12 The r of cuir usually becomes broad before t, as
curthar or curtar, churthá, curtha. Distinguish cortha,
tired.

13 Tá se ag cur is said in some places for tá sé ag cur
fearthanna.

14 A chodladh, to sleep, to bed, a for do, like luch a
mharbhadh, dul a bhaile, etc.

15 Stró expresses a more poiinted sense than simply
"he addressed me."
