<lb n="100"/><p><span>Deir sise fós gur chuir Cathal Buidhe na</span>
<lb n="101"/><span>focail seo i ndeireadh gach líne dá dhán</span>

<lb n="114"/><span>Bhí toradh beag ar mo chuairt go dtí an dúthaigh sin,</span>
<lb n="115"/><span>.i., trácht ar bhás Chathail Bhuidhe ó bheirt bhan de</span>
<lb n="116"/><span>mhuintir Mhachaire Cluana.  'sé an Béarla atá aca</span>

<lb n="121"/><span>Chathail Bhuidhe” a bheirid ar an dán.</span></p>
<lb n="122"/>
<lb n="123"/><p><span>File éigin eile bhí ag cur síos ar Chathal Buidhe,</span>
<lb n="124"/><span>dubhairt sé go mbíodh sé “ag imtheacht le gach olc.”</span>
<lb n="125"/><span>Deirtear gur i bhfreagra ar Chathal féin adubhairt</span>
<lb n="126"/><span>sé sin, agus na focail seo mar an gcéadna:</span></p>
<lb n="127"/>
<lb n="128"/><p><span>“Bíonn sé amuigh ar shiubhal oidhche is tá'n donas ar</span>
<lb n="129"/><span>a sheort.”</span></p>
<lb n="130"/>
<lb n="131"/><p><span>Badh mhaith an rud gur maitheadh dó i ndeireadh</span>

<lb n="134"/>
<lb n="135"/><p><span>Tagra.</span></p>
<lb n="136"/>
<lb n="137"/><p><span>Droch-bhriathra is evidently for droch-ghníomhartha</span>
<lb n="138"/><span>which is pronounced dro-ghriartha (U.).  The gh has</span>
<lb n="139"/><span>changed into the easier bh.  A further change to droch-</span>
<lb n="140"/><span>bhréathra also appears.</span></p>
<lb n="141"/>
<lb n="142"/><p><span>Chuinnighim-sa, choinnigh: An alternation between u</span>
<lb n="143"/><span>and o is noticeable here.</span></p>
<lb n="144"/>
<lb n="145"/><p><span>Má tá = but, however is very usual in the Farney</span>
<lb n="146"/><span>dialect.</span></p>
<lb n="147"/>
<lb n="148"/><p><span>Dócrach = dócamhlach.  Dócrach dona, “terrible</span>
<lb n="149"/><span>bad.”</span></p>
<lb n="150"/>
<lb n="151"/><p><span>Nach mbím-sa for nach mbéad-sa = ná bead-sa (M.).</span></p>
<lb n="152"/>
<lb n="153"/><p><span>Fógh = fágh, faigh, get.</span></p>
<lb n="154"/>
<lb n="155"/><p><span>Dhá slat = dhá shlait.  The best usage of the dialect</span>
<lb n="156"/><span>prefers the latter.  It is curious to find a masc.pl. na</span>
<lb n="157"/><span>slait = na slata lower down, although an tslat,</span>
<lb n="158"/><span>sing.fem. occurs also.</span></p>

<lb n="160"/><p><span>“Óch!  A Dhé mhoirnigh, &rl.”: Mr. Hannon gives the</span>

<lb n="167"/>
<lb n="168"/><p><span>File éigin eile, &c.:  The following were given me</span>
<lb n="169"/><span>as the opening words of the quatrain, but I can make</span>
<lb n="170"/><span>no sense of them:  “Bhí se shuidhiughadh (?) Cathal Buidhe,</span>
<lb n="171"/><span>'gá ruimheadh (?) is 'gá rádadh (?).”  They were ex-</span>
<lb n="172"/><span>plained as “that he didn't know what he was doing”</span>
<lb n="173"/><span>or “what to do,” an interpretation that does not help</span>
<lb n="174"/><span>us in the least.</span></p>
<lb n="175"/>
<lb n="176"/><p><span>It should be added that Cathal Buidhe Mac Giolla</span>
<lb n="177"/><span>Ghunna was a native of Co. Cavan.  That is the</span>
<lb n="178"/><span>Donegal tradition.  The mention of “Loch Mhic an</span>
<lb n="179"/><span>Éin = Lough Macnean, in Donegal versions of an</span>
<lb n="180"/><span>Bunnán Buidhe, shows that he must have belonged to</span>
