Plámás, soft flattery, may be from the
word diplomacy?  A plámasuidhe is called
in Meath a plásuidhe; the word may be 
from policy, or possibly a contraction of
plámásuidhe.

Do bhí sean-fhear chum bás d'fhagháil agus
d'fhiafruigh an bhean de: "Cia gcuirfear thú, a
Thaidhg?"  "I g-Cuilionn Uí Chaoimh, má
mhairim," arsa Tadhg.  Atá an chill so ins
an taoibh shiardtuaith de Chorgaigh.  Rud
eile maidir leis an sgéilín so; do chualas
é ó Luimnigheach ata annso i bPrescott,
Arizona, agus is ar éigin do bhí an sgéal
inniste no gur shiubhail fear isteach chugainn,
rugadh a's tóigeadh i g-Cuilionn Uí Chaoimh
féin.  "Castar na daoine le chéile," go
deimhin; ní fhuil áit, dá laighead, a dtéidhim-
se nach gcastar liom doaine ag a bhfuil
eolas agus grádh ar an nGaedhilge.
