<lb n="66"/><span>grant (life) to us (W. S.)</span></p>
<lb n="67"/>
<lb n="68"/><p><span>Maith linn means literally, well (good) with us, i.e. in</span>
<lb n="69"/><span>our estimation, and so the phrase is used idiomatically to</span>
<lb n="70"/><span>express a wish, desire, good pleasure.  It never means</span>
<lb n="71"/><span>well for us, which would be in Irish maith dhúinn.</span></p>
<lb n="72"/>
<lb n="73"/><p><span>Is maith linn gur tháinic tu, We are glad you came.</span>
<lb n="74"/><span>Is maith dhúinn gur tháinic tu, It is well for us you came.</span>
<lb n="75"/><span>The latter phrase is used to signify the real utility of an</span>
<lb n="76"/><span>object, or of an act; the former expresses our apprecia-</span>
<lb n="77"/><span>tion of it. One might say of something that would be </span>
<lb n="78"/><span>good for him, but which he did not like, budh mhaith dham</span>
<lb n="79"/><span>é, ach ní maith liom é.</span></p>

<lb n="84"/>

<lb n="86"/><span>matter of importance to have got it. </span></p>

<lb n="88"/><p><span>badh mhór an nídh dham é d'fhaghail,  It was a matter of</span>
<lb n="89"/><span>importance to me to have got it.</span></p>
<lb n="90"/>
<lb n="91"/><p><span>An beag leath é sin?  Do you think that (too) little?</span></p>
<lb n="92"/>
<lb n="93"/><p><span>is beag liom é, agus is beag dam é, I consider it</span>
<lb n="94"/><span>(too) little, and it really is (too) little for me.</span></p>
<lb n="95"/>
<lb n="96"/><p><span>an mór leat dam é?  Is it (too) much, in your</span>
<lb n="97"/><span>estimation, for me?  And hence colloquially, Do</span>
<lb n="98"/><span>you grudge it to me?</span></p>
<lb n="99"/>

<lb n="104"/><span>you.</span></p>

<lb n="110"/><span>am satisfied.</span></p>
<lb n="111"/>
<lb n="112"/><p><span>This last is a common expression at meals to signify</span>
<lb n="113"/><span>that one is sufficiently helped:—</span></p>
<lb n="114"/>
<lb n="115"/><p><span>ní beag liom de go raibh maith agat = I am nicely </span>

<lb n="128"/><span>i.e. It has suffered (from the badness of the pen).</span></p>

<lb n="130"/><p><span>Professor Zimmer took this verse to be Old Irish, and </span>
<lb n="131"/><span>wrote it thus:  Mo mhallacht ort a Phinn, darlind ataoi </span>

<lb n="133"/><span>holc.</span></p>

<lb n="139"/><p><span>* In like manner we say Cuir síos an corcán.  Put the</span>
<lb n="140"/><span>pot down, i.e., on the fire, Cuir síos an fheóil.  Put the </span>
