<lb n="56"/><p><span>VOCABULARY AND NOTES.</span></p>
<lb n="57"/>
<lb n="58"/><p><span>Tárla, met; literally, happened; do thárla fear do,</span>
<lb n="59"/><span>a man met (happened) to him.  See Joyce's Gr., p. 120,</span>
<lb n="60"/><span>idiom 10.  Instead of do, ar is mostly used.  Conair,</span>
<lb n="61"/><span>a way; leis, with him; aige is mostly used for leis;</span>
<lb n="62"/><span>luas, quickness anála, of breath; luas anála, shortness</span>
<lb n="63"/><span>of breath; luas shoud be luais; or if sin be omitted,</span>
<lb n="64"/><span>the reading will be: "was it shortness of breath was</span>
<lb n="65"/><span>in him?" instead of ann, in him, air, on him, is generally</span>
<lb n="66"/><span>said: abhaill ar luasgadh agus luas anál' air," his limbs a-</span>
<lb n="67"/><span>rocking and shortness of breath on him." - Midnight</span>
<lb n="68"/><span>Court.</span></p>
<lb n="69"/>
<lb n="70"/><p><span>Ud, a beginning; sothuigse, easily understood; </span>
<lb n="71"/><span>siocair, occasion; damhna, material of which anything</span>
<lb n="72"/><span>is made; righ-damhna, the heir-apparent to a kingdom.</span></p>
<lb n="73"/>
<lb n="74"/><p><span>Do chuir-air, afflicted him; literally, put upon him.  In</span>
<lb n="75"/><span>this passage the prep. air is written twice; the air</span>
<lb n="76"/><span>underlined is that which is joined to chuir.  Níor fhéad</span>
<lb n="77"/><span>[sé], he was not able (to refrain from laughing); a' = ag</span>
<lb n="78"/><span>reubadh achroidhe, breaking his heart; a'gairidhe, laughing</span>
<lb n="79"/><span>faoi, at (literally under) shimplídheacht an duine; the</span></p>
</div>
<pb n="111"/>
<div><lb n="80"/><p><span>simplicity of the man.  Fa, or faoi, "is used after words</span>
<lb n="81"/><span>denoting mockery."  So in par II.  Magadh fum-sa,</span>
<lb n="82"/><span>mocking me, making game of me (fum-sa = faoi mé)</span>
<lb n="83"/><span>Ad'éirigh duit happened to you.  A, here, is another form</span>
<lb n="84"/><span>of do, the sign of the inf. mood - but it is superfluous, as</span>
<lb n="85"/><span>the d' after it is that sign.  cairdeas críost, a gossip;</span>
<lb n="86"/><span>A'caint, better, ag tracht, speaking of; geárr-bhodach, a</span>
<lb n="87"/><span>boy in Connaught, as geárr-chaile is a girl in Munster.</span>
<lb n="88"/><span>glas béarla, an English lock.  Ar sgoil = ag sgoil =</span>
<lb n="89"/><span>le sgoil, at school.</span></p>
<lb n="90"/>
<lb n="91"/><p><span>Ar fiadh, by the deer, fiadh being used to denote the</span>
<lb n="92"/><span>sacred name without profanity; atá afhios ag fiadh, is</span>
<lb n="93"/><span>a similar expression, "deer, or dear knows;" dar</span>
<lb n="94"/><span>brígh an ghabhair is for dar brígh an leabhair.  This is</span>
<lb n="95"/><span>extended to dar bhrígh abhfuil de ghabhair i maothail,</span>
<lb n="96"/><span>"by all the goats in Mothil."  This Anglicized</span>
<lb n="97"/><span>expression I heard in Carrick-on-Suir more than</span>
<lb n="98"/><span>sixty years ago.  But gabhar is a horse as well as a </span>
<lb n="99"/><span>goat.  </span></p>
<lb n="100"/>
<lb n="101"/><p><span>A leithide, a mistake for leithid (in Munster Leithéid),</span>
<lb n="102"/><span>such, the like; leithid do (de)phonc deaspóireachda,</span>
<lb n="103"/><span>such a point of disputation (literally the like of a pint of</span>
<lb n="104"/><span>disputation).  Aleithéid sin de amadán duine, the like </span>
<lb n="105"/><span>of him of a fool of a man, i.e., a foolish man such as he.</span>
<lb n="106"/><span>Similarly above; a point of argument such as this no</span>
<lb n="107"/><span>one ever fixed upon me.  Air ashon sin féin, for all</span>
<lb n="108"/><span>that; tabhair mo bheannacht dóibh, give them my respects;</span>
<lb n="109"/><span>castar na d. ar ach. agus ní c. na cnoic, the people </span>
<lb n="110"/><span>meet (literally, are turned on one another), but not the</span>
<lb n="111"/><span>hills.  See Joyce's gr. p. 120, idiom 10.  Feadfuidhe,</span>
<lb n="112"/><span>it may happen, neut. pass. of defect. v. feadaim, I can, I</span>
<lb n="113"/><span>am able - dob 'fhéidir would be better.</span></p>
<lb n="114"/>
<lb n="115"/><p><span>Ráinig, arrived at; gráig, a small manor, or a village;</span>
<lb n="116"/><span>arbha, gen. of arbhar, corn; a d-táinig chuige = chum a</span>
<lb n="117"/><span>d-táinig, to which he came; doicheall, the contrary to</span>
<lb n="118"/><span>a welcome.  O'Cleary plays upon the word, of which no</span>
<lb n="119"/><span>English expression can convey an adequate meaning:</span>
<lb n="120"/><span>a feeling of aversion and unwelcome for a person, and a </span>
<lb n="121"/><span>fear that he may require something from us, or that he</span>
<lb n="122"/><span>may be in our way.</span></p>
