PUBLISHERS'  PREFACE  TO  THE 
FOURTH   EDITION. 


The  origiDal  author  of  this  work  (Faclair 
Gaidhlig  is  Beurla),  Father  Evan  Mac- 
eachen,  wa^  a  native  of  Ari^ai?,  and  was 
born  in  1769,  and  educated  at  Valladolid 
in  Spain  for  the  priesthood.  He  was  a 
noted  .scholar,  especially  in  Log^ic  and 
Mathematics,  and  took  a  high  place  in  his 
College.  He  was  ordained  Priest,  and  till 
1800  he  assisted  the  Coadjutor  Bishop  of 
Valladolid  (Rev.  Alex.  Cameron)  in  the 
various  episcopal  duties  of  the  Diocese. 
Coming  to  Scotland,  he  filled  various  poets 
in  the  trying  times  of  the  early  19th 
century  in  the  Highlands.  His  first  charge 
vf&ii  ArÌAaig,  then  Badenoch.  where  he  built 
the  first  chapel  in  Laggan.  Thereafter,  in 
the  quality  of  Professor,  he  resided  at  the 
Seminary  of  Lismore,  and  in  1914  ho  took 
chargp  of  the  Mission  at  Aigas  in  Strath- 
glass.  From  1818  he  was  for  twenty  years 
priest  in  Braemar,  and  died  at  T<>mbae. 
Glenlivet,  is  1849.  He  translated  ^eve^•I 
religious  and  other  works  into  <fii«Iic, 
notably,  in  1826.  the  "  De  Imitation* 
Christi  "      {Lennmhuinn     Chriotta     in     tlM 


translation).  He  also  left  a  translation  of 
the  New  Testament,  which  was  worked  over 
by  the  Rev.  Colin  Grant,  Strathglass,  after- 
wards Bishop  of  Aberdeen,  and  published  in 
1875. 

The  Faclair  wa^  first  published  in  Perth 
in  1842,  and  wa*  for  many  years  thereafter 
out  of  print.  The  want  of  a  handy  and 
cheap  Dictionary,  for  school  purposes  espe- 
cially, was  long  felt,  and  in  1902  the  High- 
land News  Co.,  Inverneas,  undertook  a 
second  edition.  In  a  few  years  after,  a 
third  issue  was  called  for,  mainly  owing  to 
the  increa.^ing  interest  in  the  study  of 
Gaelic  in  the  higher  classes  in  schools.  The 
distinguished  Dr  Alexander  Macbain, 
assisted  by  Mr  John  Whyte,  edited  these 
later  issues.  The  original  work  included 
some  10,600  words  :  they  added  more  than 
500  words.  "  Muceacheu,"  says  Dr  Mac- 
bain, "  did  his  work  with  remarkable  skill. 
As  he  says  in  his  Preface  [1842],  he  wanted 
to  produce  a  vocabulary  of  pure  Gaelic  :  he 
wished  to  avoid  the  Irish  words  and  idioms 
introduced  into  the  translation  of  the  Bible 
and  copied  into  the  ordinary  Dictionaries. 
He  based  his  work  on  Macleod  &  Dewar's 
Dictionary,  corrected  by  his  '  own  purer 
dialect  '  of  Arisaig."  Dr  Macbain  applied 
his  great  philological  Icnowledge  to  the 
emendation  on  a  large  scale  of  the  author's 
scheme  of  orthography,  and  he  also  over- 
hauled the  English  meanings,  corrected  the 


declensions,  genders,  and  conjugution«, 
iiiui  while  doing  away  with  many  iir,ele8fl 
derivatives  and  obsolete  or  provincial 
words,  he  added  several  hundred  new  words 
omitted   by  Maceachen. 

In  the  course  of  years  the  third  edition 
waM  quite  sold  out,  und  the  demand  for  a 
re-i*i8ue  (and  at  a  |>opuIar  price)  by  Rchools 
and  Gaelic  classes  became  more  and  more 
clamant.  The  Publishers  now  present  the 
Fourth  Edition  of  Maceachen 's  manual 
with  confidence  that  it  will  win  a  wide- 
spread and  genuine  acceptance.  This  edi- 
tion has  been  thoroughly  revised  by  two 
highly  competent  Qaelic-wspeaking  scholars. 
There  has  apain  ])een  a  laif;?  ;icci'.-o<ion  of 
literary  words,  and  a  further  elimiuation  of 
what  might  he  regarded  as  unimportant  or 
irrelevant   details. 

The  Publishers  make  no  claim  that  the 
little  Dictionary  w  exhaustive;  but  they  do 
ansert  that  it  is  in  its  present  edition  a 
most  useful  compendium  of  the  ordinary 
i>ollo<|uiaI  and  literary  vocabulary  of  the 
(iaelic  language,  and,  as  such,  that  it  is 
eminently  Huited  for  the  advanced  classes 
in  .schools  and  for  r^eneral  use  by  intelligent 
students.  Teachers  will  notice  that  the 
ICduration  Department  recommend  this 
manual  im  one  whose  orthography  should  h« 
followed  by  candidat<>-  f.>r  t'l  I.  ivi  le 
Certificate  in  Gaelir. 


The  Publishers  of  this  issue  beg  to  express 
their  cordial  acknowledgments  to  (1)  the 
Proprietors  of  the  Highland  News,  Inver- 
ness, for  the  free  surrender  by  them  to  the 
present  Publishers  of  any  rights  of  repro- 
duction or  translation  they  may  have  in  the 
Dictionary;  (2)  to  the  Comunn  Gaidhealach 
for  a  grant  towards  the  cost  of  re-publica- 
tion of  <£oO,  on  the  express  condition,  will- 
ingly acceded  to  by  the  Publishers,  that  the 
re-issue  be  at  a  popular  price;  (3)  to  Dr  J. 
L.  Eobertson,  C.B.,  late  H.M.  Chief 
Inspector  of  the  Highland  Division,  for 
much  assistance  in  the  supervision  of  the 
Fourth  Edition,  and  in  the  negotiations 
with  the  two  bodies  mentioned  above.  The 
re-issue  in  1902  also  owed  much  to  his  active 
interest  in  the  cause  of  Gaelic  studies  in 
our  schools.

X.  GAELIC    raoNUN'CIATJO.N 

The  only  pmpfcr  and  (ion.stant  rliphthongs  are  ia  and 
ua,  in  \vliichliothlelt«is  are  always  distinctly  sounded. 
In  the  other  vowel  digraphs  and  in  the  vowel  trigraphs, 
when  flanked  Vjy  nnitable  consonants,  only  one  of  the 
vowels  is  sounded,  the  others  merely  indicating  or 
regulating  the  quality,  kroad  or  slender,  of  the  con- 
tiguous consonants.  The  vowels  e  and  i,  initial  and 
final,  or  when  in  contact  with  b,  bh,  f,  fh,  m,  mh,  p. 
ph,  sh,  th,  in  the  same  syllalile,  are  sounded  in 
digraphs  and  trigraphs  in  which  they  should  otherwise 
be  silent. 

Ai  in  the  prepositions  '  aig '  ('  at ')  and  '  air  '  ('  on  '  or 
'  after ')  is  in  most  dialects  sounded  like  ai  in 
'mountain.' 

Vovs-els  are  nasal  when  in  contact  with  m,  mh,  or  n. 

Long  a  and  long  o  before  1  and  r>n  are  .soumled  au 
and  oil  in  most  dialects. 

CONSONANT  .sfOUNDS. 

[ —  in  the  following  table  stanils  for  '  equnls.'l 
The  Consonants,  except  the  lip-letters,  b,  f,  m,  p,  are 
MUTABLE,  having  a  hroap  or  asr.ENOER  quality  accord- 
ing as  they  are  in  contact  with   ukoao  or  slender 
vowels. 

With  the  exception  of  the  liquids  (1,  n,  r),  the  hiss 
(8),  and  the  nasals  (m,  n),  the  Consonants  in  Gaelic  are 
voiceless,  and  represent  organ-positions  rather  than 
articulate  sounds.  The  munnur  of  the  nasals,  however, 
passes  into  a  succeeding  consonant. 
b,  p— Englisli  p.  The  p  is  explodeut.  When  final 
after  a  short  vowel  the  explosion  or  breathing 
precedes  the  p. 

g,  c,  BROAj>  (that  is,  in  contact  with  a,  o,  u)— k  in 
'koran' ;  sr.ENDEH  (that  is,  in  contact  with  e,  i) 
— k  in  'king'  (k'ing).  The  C  is  explodent. 
When  final  the  explosion  or  breathing  precedes 
the  c. 

d,  t,  KROAD— Knglish  t,  the  point  of  the  tongue  being 
well  dovni  against  the  lower  front  gum  ;  .SLENDER 
—palatalised  t,  somewhat  like  t  in  the  word 
'tune.'  The  position  of  the  tongue  is  as  with  t 
liUOAD.  The  t  is  explodent.  When  final  after  a 
short  vowel  the  explosion  or  breathing  precedes 
the  t. 

f,  h,  m— English  f,  h,  m.
