<lb n="66"/><span>do bhí gach aon tsuidhiughadh aca.</span></p>
<lb n="67"/>
<lb n="68"/><p><span>8. Agus is mar so do chuir Seaghán mac </span>

<lb n="77"/><span>sé é, mar nach dearna, gur dearmad agus </span>
<lb n="78"/><span>doilgheas a thinnis do bhéaradh air a rádha; </span>
<lb n="79"/><span>agus go raibhe Brian mac Conchobhair a athair </span>

<lb n="81"/><span>ndubhairt sé ris (leis) gan a rádh go </span>

<lb n="92"/>
<lb n="93"/><p><span>11. An ceathramhadh ní adubhradh ris, a </span>

<lb n="111"/><span>agus Diarmaid Mac an Ghabhann.</span></p>

<lb n="115"/><span>foirm cheathrair, agus is iad so an ceathrar ar </span>

<lb n="123"/><span>Giolla-na-Naomh mhic Aodhagáin.</span></p>
<lb n="124"/>
<lb n="125"/><p><span>14. Agus do fhéachadar an t-adhbhar eat-</span>

<lb n="133"/><span>bhFiadh.</span></p>
<lb n="134"/>
<lb n="135"/><p><span>15. Agus idir gach ní d'á ndubhradar an </span>
<lb n="136"/><span>mhuintir sin, agus do réir gach sgeóil agus gach </span>
<lb n="137"/><span>fínné d'á bhfuaradar, tángadar féin le </span>

<lb n="143"/><span>mairidh an litir agus imthighidh an chuimhne.</span></p>
<lb n="144"/>
<lb n="145"/><p><span>16. Agus ar an adhbhar sain, adubhradh riu </span>
<lb n="146"/><span>roinn chubhaidh chosmhail chombráithramhail </span>
<lb n="147"/><span>do dhéanamh re chéile de nós a sinsear; agus </span>

<lb n="205"/><p><span>1.  Sgríbheann, a writing, a document, here masc., gen.</span>
<lb n="206"/><span>an sgríbhinn.  Is also fem., gen. na sgríbhne.  D'á</span>
<lb n="207"/><span>fhoillsiughadh : the object of the action implied by a verbal</span>
<lb n="208"/><span>noun may be connected with it in two ways, (1) preceding</span>
<lb n="209"/><span>it with do, as an chúis d' fhoillsiughadh, to manifest the</span>
<lb n="210"/><span>cause, or (2) following it in the genitive, as foillsiughadh</span>
<lb n="211"/><span>na cúise.  When the object is a sentence, it must follow,</span>
<lb n="212"/><span>and as a sentence cannot be put in the genitive, the place</span>
<lb n="213"/><span>of the sentence is taken by a (= of it, its) before the</span>
<lb n="214"/><span>verbal noun, d'á fhoillsiughadh mar agus c., "to mainifest it</span>
<lb n="215"/><span>(viz.), how, etc."  A similar usage is not unknown to</span>
<lb n="216"/><span>English, e.g., "to make it clear how the dispute was</span>
<lb n="217"/><span>settled."  Sliocht, race, descendants.  S. na bhf. = James</span>
<lb n="218"/><span>of the Deer.  O Cinnéididh, O'Kennedy: note that an</span>
<lb n="219"/><span>epithet comes between the forename and surname.  But</span>
<lb n="220"/><span>when the epithet belongs to the family, it follows the sur-</span>
<lb n="221"/><span>name e.g., Brian O Cinnéidididh Fionn.  "From," con-</span>
<lb n="222"/><span>neeting the person's name with his place of abode, is ó</span>
<lb n="223"/><span>in Irish ó Bhaile Locha Capaill (English, Ballycapple,</span>

<lb n="227"/><span>beginning of a new paragraph.  Donn-Cuan is an obsolete</span>
<lb n="228"/><span>forename.  Pilip, better Filip.  Dias, two persons, gen.</span>
<lb n="229"/><span>díse, dat. dís (fem.)  Beirt is now nearly always used</span>
<lb n="230"/><span>instead.  Ar son a chéile, on behalf of each other, i.e.,</span>

<lb n="234"/><span>Seaghán is written Seaan in the original; the spelling</span>
<lb n="235"/><span>Seaghán marks an intent to identify the imported name,</span>
<lb n="236"/><span>Jean, John, with an old Gaelic name, derived from seagh,</span>
<lb n="237"/><span>art, ingenuity, whence also O Seaghdha, O'Shea.  Do bhí</span>
<lb n="238"/><span>do láthair an réidhtigh sin, who were present at that</span>
<lb n="239"/><span>settlement.  Coraidheachd, security, bail, from cor, a con-</span>
<lb n="240"/><span>dition, a term.  Note the nom. pl. d'á mbráithreacha, for</span>
<lb n="241"/><span>dative.</span></p>
<lb n="242"/>
<lb n="243"/><p><span>4.  Ar n-iarraidh, having sought.  Ranna, gen. of</span>
<lb n="244"/><span>roinn, partition, division.  D'á rádh, see note on d'á</span>
<lb n="245"/><span>fhoillsiughadh, par. I. Nach tiubhradaois, that they would</span>
<lb n="246"/><span>not five: nach does not eclipse in Irish of that date, or</span>
<lb n="247"/><span>in contemporary Munster Iirsh, in which the form ná is</span>
<lb n="248"/><span>used before verbs.  Bioth-roinn, a permanent division.</span>
<lb n="249"/><span>Re, ris, riu, etc. (for modern le, leis, leo, etc.), when</span>
<lb n="250"/><span>the action proceeds from one thing to the other, but le</span>
<lb n="251"/><span>when accompaniment is meant.  This distinction is still</span>
<lb n="252"/><span>strictly observed in Sc. Gaelic.  Labhair ris, caith cloch</span>
<lb n="253"/><span>ris, would have been said, but imthigh leis, beir leat é.</span>
