Cóimhfhreagairt. Lisduff, Urlingford. 9th September, 1901. Joseph H. Lloyd, Esq. Sir, I send you a few Gaelic words which I have always heard in this locality, and which you may use as a supplemental list in Gaelic Journal if you wish. Faithfully yours, P. O'Carroll. Cúithín, a fangle. Cromán, a long-backed fellow, "a great dromán of a man." Drúnánaidhe, a lazy fellow. Féirín, a mark (from a hurt) that is sure to stand. Gádh, ní gádh but he said it, you need not wonder. Gadarnálaidhe, a dragging, lazy fellow; -áltacht, the work of a gadarnálaidhe. Stámar, pride, haughtiness.
