<lb n="1"/><span>Air Cínel arga iomlán,</span>
<lb n="2"/><span>Do shiol Taidhg mic céin críonda,</span>
<lb n="3"/><span>O Airdlic Féil Oilella.</span></p>
<lb n="4"/>
<lb n="5"/><p><span>I Muigh Lacha na learg te</span>
<lb n="6"/><span>O Faoláin, feardha an fíne;</span>
<lb n="7"/><span>Mór an dúthaigh as díol dáibh</span>
<lb n="8"/><span>Do lín futha O Faolain.</span></p>
<lb n="9"/>
<lb n="10"/><p><span>Doicheall, a grudging churlishness, amounting to an</span>
<lb n="11"/><span>aversion: Docúl is the term in the old copy; written</span>
<lb n="12"/><span>dochamhal, a difficulty, in Coneys' Dict.  The verb </span>
<lb n="13"/><span>do thabhairt is applicable to diultadh only: tagairt was</span>
<lb n="14"/><span>interpolated.</span></p>
<lb n="15"/>
<lb n="16"/><p><span>Paragraph 2. Coca, pl. cocaidhe, a cock of straw or</span>
<lb n="17"/><span>hay: it is translated a boat, a cockle, in dicts.</span></p>
<lb n="18"/>
<lb n="19"/><p><span>Tairsin = tairseach, a threshold, not in dicts.</span></p>
<lb n="20"/>
<lb n="21"/><p><span>Fleaslgach in the modern copies makes no sense:</span>
<lb n="22"/><span>fleaghach, festive, in the old copy.</span></p>
<lb n="23"/>
<lb n="24"/><p><span>Fíor-chaoin fáilte, a truly gentle welcome; it is very</span>
<lb n="25"/><span>unusual in Irish to place the adj. before the noun.</span></p>
<lb n="26"/>
<lb n="27"/><p><span>Paragraph 3.  Mínleach, green pasture.  This word was</span>
<lb n="28"/><span>very common in northern compositions of a century ago:</span>
<lb n="29"/><span>it is almost unknown in Munster.</span></p>
<lb n="30"/>
<lb n="31"/><p><span>Paragraph 4.  Lóta or lotán, a soft mass of anything.</span></p>
<lb n="32"/>
<lb n="33"/><p><span>Leith-uisge. -  According to Mr. Stanton, this is a mix-</span>
<lb n="34"/><span>ture of milk and water; in Waterford this mixture is</span>
<lb n="35"/><span>anglais or eanglais, which is found in a little lower.</span></p>
<lb n="36"/>
<lb n="37"/><p><span>Mórnán, "a small wooden dish or drinking vessel"</span>
<lb n="38"/><span>(O'Reilly).</span></p>
<lb n="39"/>
<lb n="40"/><p><span>Práipín, a mixture of oatmeal and cold milk: same as</span>
<lb n="41"/><span>pracás, or nearly so;.  Bodaig</span>
<lb n="42"/><span>bhoga an phrácáis.</span></p>
<lb n="43"/>
<lb n="44"/><p><span>Paragraph 5.  Cis, a pannier or other large basket.  Not </span>
<lb n="45"/><span>in O'Reilly, who has ciséin in its stead.</span></p>
<lb n="46"/>
<lb n="47"/><p><span>Prachán, not in any dictionary; probably preabán,a  </span>
<lb n="48"/><span>patch.</span></p>
<lb n="49"/>
<lb n="50"/><p><span>Suidhiste, in Waterford, is a seat made of matted or </span>
<lb n="51"/><span>twisted straw, and called a boss.</span></p>
<lb n="52"/>
<lb n="53"/><p><span>Ponaire, beans; pronounced poorch.</span></p>
<lb n="54"/>
<lb n="55"/><p><span>Iarbhais or iairbhis (not in dict.), wealth, property.</span>
<lb n="56"/><span>Tigh iairbhiseach, a well-furnished house.</span></p>
<lb n="57"/>
<lb n="58"/><p><span>Paragraph 6.  Feadháille, a whistling (Coneys).  He </span>
<lb n="59"/><span>has the verb fead, inf. feadgháil, to whistle.  This latter</span>
<lb n="60"/><span>word is also, of course, the participle, and from this the</span>
<lb n="61"/><span>gen., in Munster, is feadghala, which most probably is</span>
<lb n="62"/><span>what Donnchad wrote.</span></p>
<lb n="63"/>
<lb n="64"/><p><span>Criostoir, Christopher, in Waterford, a fretful, iras-</span>
<lb n="65"/><span>cible person, is also called Crosdóir; Donnchadh probably</span>
<lb n="66"/><span>played  upon this name, as on all the others.</span></p>
<lb n="67"/>
<lb n="68"/><p><span>Guagán, little guaig, or giddy-head; same guaigín.</span></p>
<lb n="69"/>
<lb n="70"/><p><span>Breillín = breallán, a fool.</span></p>
<lb n="71"/>
<lb n="72"/><p><span>Faicín, from faice, s stitch, a tatter.</span></p>
<lb n="73"/>
<lb n="74"/><p><span>Séideánach, puffing, blowing.  Strange that a word so</span>
<lb n="75"/><span>common should not be in any dictionary: séideán, a </span>
<lb n="76"/><span>puffing, is in O'Don. App.</span></p>
<lb n="77"/>
<lb n="78"/><p><span>Sraimín, from sramach, blear-eyed.</span></p>
<lb n="79"/>
<lb n="80"/><p><span>Sgigín, from sgige, a jibing, a jeering.</span></p>
