<L 491> The “Indefinite” (”passive”) form. The following good example of the continued use of the above was given me by Father O'Leary at Castlelyons. It is thus that children used to speak of the sluagh sídhe for fear of offending them:— Áit ana-aereach is eadh an áit sin: nuair bhítear ag gabháil an treó sain i n-am mhairbh na hoidhche, airightear coisidheacht d'á déanamh agus fothrom mar bheifidhe ag rith agus fothrom eile mar bheifidhe ar teicheadh, agus annsain airightear fothrom mar thiocfaidhe suas agus mar bhuailfidhe agus mar bheifidhe faoi bhualadh agus mar brisfidhe, agus annsain airightear mar bheadh dearg-ruathar agus tóir.
