again  on  the  end  of  a  stick,  and  again  plung- 
ed in  until  it  is  all  thoroughly  dyed.  If

th'  agad  !  ivhat  an  extraordinary  horse  you 
have  ! 

d<>,  prep.  Of,  off.  According  to  MacBain,  the 
peculiar  custom  of  confusing  this  word  with 
do,  to,  in  speaking  Gaelic,  extends  back  to 
Old  Irish  in  pre-accentual  de  compounds,  but 
the  erroneous  practice  has  no  doubt  largely 
been  increased  by  the  publishers  of  the  Gaelic 
Scriptures,  the  instances  of  the  use  of  do,  in- 
stead of  de  making  the  meaning  of  the  text 
in  Gaelic  just  the  opposite  of  what  the  origi- 
nal conveys.  It  is  strange  how  tenacious 
some  Gaelic  writers  are  of  the  pernic'ous 
custom  of  using  do  for  both  de  and  do,  while 
it  is  quite  plain  that  the  meaning  of  one  is 
just  the  opposite  of  the  other.  It  is  no  excuse 
to  say  that  it  is  often  spoken  so  (in  some 
places  de  is  practically  obsolete)  for  it  is 
the  duty  of  scholars  and  those  who  write  or 
speak  Gaelic,  to  do  so  correctly,  and  so  help 
to  correct  popular  errors  instead  of  perpet- 
uating them.  This  is  only  one  case  among 
many,  where  any  unprejudiced  person  can 
see  the  absolute  necessity  of  Gaelic  being 
taught  in  every  school,  at  least  in  Gaelic- 
speaking  districts,  to  prevent  its  becoming  a 
mixture  of  exceptions  like  English. 

An  gabh  thu  roinn  dheth  sin  ?  will  you  take  a 
part  of  that  ?  bheir  mi  'a  ghlas  de  'n  dorus, 
/  will  take  the  lock  off  the  door  ;  thug  mi  Jn 
ceann  de  m1  ordaig,  /  took  the  tip  off  my 
thumb.  If  do  be  substituted  for  de  in  each  of 
above  examples,  the  result  is  mere  nonsense.

%6Sa.  Suidfieachadh  no  cm'su'in. 
The  warping-frame  shown  in  illust.  is  known 
in  Uist  as  "  deilbh  ard,"  and  the  term  deilbh 
(dealbh)  is  seldom  used  in  this  connection 
alone.  It  is  called  dvilbh  ard  because  the  old 
original,  and  still  usual  manner,  of  warping 
the  thread  is  by  fixing  the  fuaintcan  in  the 
clay  floor.  Consequently,  when  a  frame  was 
constructed  and  raised  up  against  the  wall, 
it  received  the  name  of  "  deilbh  ard.'*

used  elsewhere.      For  modern  form  as  used

"iNFiN.,"  a  dheanamh,  to  do.     [properly  itt 
doing.        There  is  no  Infinitive  in  Gaelic,  but 
unfortunately   the  Gaelic  Verbal   Noun  fre- 
quently appears  in  places   where  in  English 
infinitives  would  be  used.      A  true  infinitive 
cannot  govern  the  genitive  case.    A  participle 
is  a  noun,  and  therefore  governs  the  genitive 
case,  an  infinitive  is  a  verb,  and  therefore 
cannot  govern  a  noun  in  the  genitive.    When 
one  sees  a  thing  called   "  an  iufinitive  "  gov- 
erning  something  in  the  genitive,  it  may  b« 
concluded  that  it  is  a  noun,  not  a  verb,  and, 
consequently,  not  an  infinitive.     Bonnach  a 
mhealladh  na    cloinne,  is  a  bannock  for  de- 
ceiving of  (NOT  to  deceive)  the  children  ;   bu 
mhath  leis  an  righ  Padruig  a  theaclid,  is 
translated,  the  king  loished  Pat  to  come,  where- 
as what  is  meant  is,  the  king  wished   I'at  to 
coining.    That  teach d=coniiiig  and  not  come, 
This  appears  from  the  following,  which   oc- 
curs in  NacTalla.     "  Bu  mhath  learn  iad  a  dh' 
fhagail  nan  each,"  1    wish  them  to  kaye  (to 
leaving)  of  the  horses.    Now,  nan    each  is  in- 
contestably  a  genitive  case,  therefore  it  must 
have  been  governed  by  a  noun,  not  by  a  verb. 
The  Latin  amare  was  an  infinitive,  so  it  could 
not  govern  a  genitive.but  awatum  was  a  noun 
and  declinable  like  a  noun.    So  was   the  old 
Celtic  gerund,  or  verbal  noun,  equally  declin- 
able, and  many  of  them  showed  a  dative  case 
after  the  preposition  do.    Cuir  in  the  dative, 
is,  to  this  day,  cur,  which  is  its  dative.    But 
further,  what    about  "  bu  mhath  learn  iad 
dha  m'  fhagail,"  (some  write   "  ga  m'  fhag- 
ail  ")  ?    If  fayail  equals  in  this  case  an  infini- 
tive, i.  e.  if  it  is  to  be  translated  to  come,  we 
shall  have  my  to  come.    In  other  words,  be- 
cause fagail  is  qualified  by  a  possessive  pro- 
noun, or  by  a  possessive    adjective,   we  see 
that  it  is  a  noun,  not  a  verb.    My  coming,  my 
leaving,  are  possible,  my  to  come,  my  to  leave, 
are  inconceivable.    As  every  one  of  ihe  so- 
called  infinitives  can   (1)  take  a  possessive  ad- 
jective, and  can  (2)  govern  a  noun  in  the  geni- 
tive, the  conclusion  is  that  these  "infinitives" 
are  all  nouns  and  not  verbs.]

Passive  Voice—  [properly  a  GRAPHIC 

or  HISTORIC  voice,  not  "  PASSIVE."  No  in- 
transitive verb  can  have  a  passive  voice,  but 
all  intransitive  verbs  in  Gaelic  have  an  im- 
personal or  graphic  form.  Chualas  a  bhi  'fos- 
gladh  an  doruis,  /  heard  (people)  opening  the 
door;  dh'iarr  a'  nahuir  a  bhi  'ga  taghal,  the  sea 
wished  people  to  resort  to  her.  Here  "  a  bhi 
aig  "  seems  to  include  a  subject  (people.) 
However,  this  is  not  revelant,  see  MacTaUa, 
vi.  p.  50  "  Deanar  caol-direach  air  an  aite," 
(they)  made  straight  for  the  place.  "Deanar" 
is  an  intransitive  verb,  like  "  go."  Translate 
it  for  a  moment  as  "  go."  If  it  be  passive, 
then  the  sentence  means  (they)  are  go-ed  (or 
icen.t-ed)  straight  &c.  Again,  cha  tigear  as 
eugmhais  na  pioba.  (people)  cannot  get  on.  uith- 
out  the  bagpipe—1'  ti-.-ear  "  is  passive,  then  the 
sentence  means  without  thf

e  d.  dhomhs'  agad,  remember  that  there  is  a 
littir-  outstanding  between  us,  you,  ought  to  have 
it  ready  for  me.  Prosperous  course,  turning 
from  east  to  west  in  the  direction  taken  by  the 
sun.  D.  air  gach  ni,  the  sunward  course  (is  the 
best)  for  every rhing.  This  is  descriptive  of  the 
ceremony  observed  by  the  Druids,  of  walking 
round  their  temples,  by  the  south,  in  the 
course  of  their  divinations,  keeping  the  tem- 
ple always  on  their  rittht.  This  course  was 
deemed  prosperous,  the  contrary  (tuathal) 
fatal,  or  at  least,  unpropitious.  From 
this  ancient  superstition  are  "derived  seve- 
ral customs  which  are  still  retained  a- 
inongst  us,  as  drinking  over  the  left  thumb,  as 
Toland  expresses  it,  or  according  to  the  course 
•un.  Martin  says,"  some  of  the  poorer 
sort  of  people  in  the  Western  Isles  retain  the 
custom  of  performing  these  circles  sunwise 
about  the  persons  of  their  benefactors  three 
times,  when  they  bless  them,  and  wish  good 
success  to  all  their  enterprises.  Some  are 


very  careful,  when  they  set  out  to  sea,  that 
the  boat  ba  first  rowed  sunwise, and  if  this  be 
neglected,  they  are  afraid  their  voyage  may 
prove  unfortunate.  I  had  thisctremouy  paid 
me  when  in  Islay  by  a  poor  woman,  after  I 
had  {iiven  her  an  alms.  I  desired  her  to  let 
alone  that  compliment,  for  that  I  did  not  care 
for  it  ;  but  she  insisted  to  make  these  three 
ordinary  turns,  and  then  prayed  that  God 
and  MacCharmaig,  the  patron  saint  of  that 
island,  mi^ht  bless  and  prosper  me  in  all  my 
affairs.  When  a  Gael  goes  to  drink  out  of  a 
consecrated  fountain,  he  approaches  it  by 
going  round  the  place  from  east  to  west,  and 
at  funerals,  the  procession  observes  the  same 
direction  in  drawing  near  the  grave.  Hence 
also  is  derived  the  old  custom  of  describing 
sunwise  a  circle,  with  a  burning  brand,  about 
houses,  cattle,  corn  and  corn-fields,  to  prevent 
their  being  burnt,  or  in  any  way  injured  by 
evil  spirits,  or  by  witchcraft.  This  fiery  cir- 
cle was  also  made  around  women,  as  soon  aa 
possible  after  parturition,  and  also  around 
newly-born  babes.  These  circles  were,  in  later 
times,  described  by  midwives,  and  were  deem- 
ed effectual  against  the  intrusion  of  the  daoint 
sith  or  sithichean,  who  were  particularly  on 
the  alert  in  times  of  childbed,  and  not  infre- 
quently carried  infants  away,  according  to 


but  sadly  altered  in  features  and  in  persons 
appearance.  Infants  stolen  by  fairies  are 
said  to  have  voracious  appetites,  constantly 
craving  for  food.  In  this  case  it  was  usual 
for  those  who  believed  that  their  children 
had  been  taken  away,  to  dig  a  grave  in  the 
fields  on  quarter-day  and  there  to  lay  the  fairy 
skeleton  till  next  morning,  at  which  time  the 
parents  went  to  the  place,  where  they  doubt- 
ed not  to  find  their  own  child  in  place  of  the 
skeleton.  "

Monday,  being  the  first  free  day  of  the  week, 
gives  a  good  chance  for  getting  on  with  work,

Though  Friday  has  always  been  held  an 
unlucky  day  in  various  Christian  countries, 
and  even  among  such  people  as  the  Brahmins, 
still  in  the  Hebrides  it  is  supposed  to  be  the 
lucky  day  for  sowing  the  seed  in  the  ground. 
Good  Friday  in  particular  is  a -favourite  day 
for  potato  planting— even  strict  Catholics 
make  a  point  of  planting  a  bucketful  011  that 
day.  Probably  the  idea  is,  that  as  the  Re- 
surrection followed  the  Crucifixion  and  Bur- 
ial, so  too  in  the  case  of  the  seed,  that  after 
death  will  come  life.

tdo,    a.    see  da. 

do,  prep.  To  (i.e.  unto.)  [Aspirates  word  fol- 
lowing, and  governs  the  Dative  case.  It  is 
often  dh\  or  redundantly  do  dh',  or  a  dh,  be- 
fore a  word  commencing  with  a  vowel.  In 
other  cases  it  is  often  a,  or  is  omitted  entire- 
ly. Chaidh  e  dh'  Eirhm,  [or  do  dh'  Eirinn, 
or  a  dh'  Eirinn,]  he  went  to  Ireland  ;  ckaidn 
iad  a  Phort-rlgh,  or  chaidh  iad  Phort-righ, 
they  went  to  Portree. 

Do  is  joined  with  the  personal  pronouns 
thus  : — domh,  to  me  ;  duit,  to  thee  ;  da,  to  him  ; 
di,  to  her  ;  duinn,  to  us  ;  duibh,  to  you  ;  doiba, 
to  them.  These  prepositional  pronouns  are 
generally  aspirated. 

Do  is  a  remarkable  preposition  too  subtle  to 
analyze,  but  the  examples  given  below  give  a 
fair  idea  of  its  different  meaniug  in  various 
contexts.  Do  'n  duine,  to  the  man  ;  do  d' 
mhathair,  to  thy  mother;  do  mo  re"ir-sa,  ac- 
cording to  my  view»;  gur  pailt  liagh  do  na 
ramhan  na  lunn,  the  blades  of  the  oars  are  too

aindeoin,]  somehow  or  other,by  hook  or  by  crook, 
willy  m'lly.  As  a  prepositional  pronoun  :— 
Is  aithne  dhomh  sin,  /  know  that ;  is  math 
dhomh  sin,  that  is  well  (yooit)  for  me  ;  is  le"ir

and  it  is  only  when  Christianity  had  been  long 
established  and  druidism  had  become  a  thing 
of  the  remote  past,  that  we  have  writers  who 
speak  of  the  druids,  and  then  only  refer  to 
them  as  magicians  and  diviners,  sometimes 
only  as  conjurers  ;  there  is  no  hint  of  either 
philosophy  or  religion  in  Druidism.  They 
surrounded  kings  and  chiefs.  The  power  of 
the  Tuatha  T>6  Danann,  the  pre-eminent  mas- 
ters of  druidic  art,  over  the  forces  of  nature 
shows  them  to  have  been  degraded  gods.  The 
Druids  opposed  Columba  and  Patrick  with 
darkness.  A  blow  from  their  wand  caused 
transformation  and  spells.  Their  sacred  wood 
was  not  the  oak,  as  in  Gaul,  but  yew,  haw- 
thorn and  especially  the  rowan.  Divination 
by  watching  smoke  and  flame,  chewing  raw 
flesh  (cf.  Fionn's  thumb),  &c.,  was  one  of 
their  chief  occupations.  Bards  were  some- 
times diviners,  thus  apparently  showing  an  an- 
cient  connection  with  the  Druids.  Sometimes 
we  have  an  echo  of  the  time  whenDruidism  was 
something  more  than  mere  wizardry,  and  even 
when  human  sacrifices  were  offered  (for  ex- 
ample, the  Columba  and  Odhran  story.)  Prof 
Rhys  sums  up  :—  At  the  time  of  Caesar,  the 
Druids  were  a  powerful  class— soothsayers, 
magicians  and  priests.  In  Gaul,  under  the 
influence  of  Mediterranean  civilization,  they 
were  also  philosophers,  and  discoursed  on  the 
stars,  the  world,  the  nature  of  things  and  the 
power  of  the  gods.  Rhys  thinks  Druidism 
non-Aryan,  MacBain  does  not. 

The  following  remarks  by  foreign  writers 
were  made  while  druidism  was  still  practised 
aud  full  particulars  easily  obtainable.  The 
accuracy  of  Latin  writers  on  the  military  and 
domestic  arrangements  of  the  Celts  is  well 
known,  so  their  remarks  about  the  druids  are 
probably  quite  as  reliable. 

Diodorus  Sicuhts  calls  attention  to  the 
druidic  doctrine  that  the  souls  of  men  were 
immortal,  and  that  after  the  lapse  of  an  ap- 
pointed number  of  years  they  came  to  life 
again,  the  soul  then  entering  another  body. 
Julius  Caesar  says  the  Druids  were  occupied 
with  religious  matters,  conducted  public  and 
private  sacrifices,  and  interpreted  omens. 
They  were  the  teachers  of  the  country,  and 
judges  in  public  and  private  disputes,  award- 
ing damages  and  penalties.  Any  contumacy 
in  reference  to  their  judgments  was  punished 
by  exclusion  from  the  sacrifices— the  severest 
punishment  among  Gauls.  Men  so  punished 
were  treated  as  outlaws.  There  was  one 
supreme  head  over  the  Druids,  who,  on  his 
death  was  succeeded  by  the  nearest  in  dig- 
nity, or  if  several  were  equal,  the  successor 
was  chosen  by  the  vote  of  the  Druids.  Some- 
times the  primacy  was  not  decided  without 
arbitrament  of  arms.  Caesar  mentions  the  be- 
lief that  their  doctrines  originated  in  Britain, 
and  were  carried  from  thence  into  Gaul.  The 
Druids  were  immune  from  military  service 
and  payment  of  tribute.  They  were  said 
during  their  training,  which  sometimes  last- 
ed twenty  years,  to  learn  by  heart  a  large 
number  of  verses.  They  held  it  wrong  to  put 
their  religious  teaching  in  writing.  Their 
cardinal  doctrine  was  the  transmigration  of 
souls,  and  this  was  a  supreme  incentive  to 
valour,  by  making  the  fear  of  death  count  for 
nothing.  They  discussed  the  stars  and  their 
motions,  the  size  of  the  universe  and  the  earth, 
the  nature  and  the  might  and  power  of  the 
immortal  gods.  They  presided  at  the  human 
sacrifices,  which  might  be  public  or  private. 


Cicero  says  the  Druids  possessed  knowledge 
of  natural  science,  and  foretold  the  future. 

Origen  says  they  practised  sorcery. 

Strabo  refers  to  them  as  judges,  philoso- 
phers and  divines,  says  they  were  held  in  ex- 
ceptional honour,  and  mentions  their  belief  fn 
immortality.  No  sacrifice  could  be  made 
without  the  presence  of  a  Druid.  They  werfe 
in  great  request  in  time  of  war,  being  con* 
suited  alike  by  the  enemy  and  those  of  their 
own  side.  Even  when  two  armies  were  on  the 
point  of  going  to  battle,  Druids  have  been  able 
to  stop  them. 

Lucan  refers  to  the  seclusion  of  the  Druidh 
groves  and  their  belief  in  immortality. 

Pliny  refers  to  their  veneration  of  the  mis- 
tletoe, and  the  tree  on  which  it  grew  (if  an 
oak,)  hence  their  predilection  for  oak-groves, 
and  the  requirement  of  oak-leaves  for  all  re- 
ligious rites.  He  mentions  a  serpent-egg,  pro- 
duced from  the  frothy  sweat  of  snakes  writh- 
ing together  in  a  ba,ll. 

Ammianus  Marccllirws  says  they  were  close- 
ly linked  together  into  confraternities,  and 
declared  the  soul  immortal. 

Caesar  includes  under  the  terra  druid  all 
non-military  professional  classes— whether 
priests,  seers,  teachers,  lawyers  or  judges.  Tto 
others,  druids  are  philosophers  and  teachers, 
and  distinguished  from  seers.  To  others 
again,  such  as  Pliny,  they  were  the  priests  of 
the  oak-ritual,  whence  their  name  was  deri- 
ved.— Extract!  from  art.  by  Dr.  Madtain  in

gun  chron,  is  also  applied  to  a  shiftless,thrift-

[The  following  remarks  apply  to  W.  of  Ross- 
shire.  Duine  means  emphatically  a  married 


man.  An  unmarried  man  of  any  age  is  yille. 
Fear  is  as  colourless,  except  as  to  sex,  as  "in- 
dividual," "  person,"  or  "  one,"  and  is  gene- 
rally little  more  than  a  peg  on  which  to  hang 
an  attribute.  Cha  robh  e  'na  dh.  aig  an  am 
sin,  he  was  not  a  (married)  man  at  that  tirntj 
A  native  would  never  commit  himself  so  far 
as  to  ask  "  co  e  an  d.  sin  ?  who  is  that  man  )" 
Bean  is  duine,  is  husband  and  wife  (lit.  wife 
and  husband.)  The  precedence  of  the  wife  is 
possibly  a  relic  of  Pictish  custom.  Th» 
phrase  occurs  in  other  parts,  for  example 
Perthshire,  which  was  also  in  Pictland.  In 
Arran  [&  Argyllshire— AH]  "  fear  agus  bean" 
is  the  invariable  usage.  In  Gairloch  both 
phrases  are  used.  In  Lewis  the  latter,  and 
more  rarely  "duine  agus  bean"  are  used. 
"  Ca  bheil  na  fix  ud  ?"  where  are  those  fellows  > 
used,  for  example,  in  reference  to  two  boys, 
aged  respectively  two  and  three. — C.B.  in

~,,       The  following  remarks  about  the  distin- 

"  >  guishing  features  between  the  North  and 
South  dialects  of  Scottish  Gaelic  througn  the 
occurrence  of  eu  or  ia  in  various  words,  are 
extracted  from  an  article  by  Rev.  O.  M.  Rob- 
ertson, in  Celtic  Review,  October,  l'J06.  Most 
Gaelic  Grammars  and  Dictionaries  say  that 
the  North  and  Smith  dialects  oJt  Gaelic  are 


en 

distinguishable  by  their  respective  uses  of  eV 
and  ia  in  certain  words,  but  no  detailed  list  is- 
ever  given. 

"  Dr.  MacBain  says  (he  crucial  distinction 
between  the  two  main  dialects  of  Gaelic  con- 
sists in  the  different  way  in  which  the  dialects 
deal  with  e  derived  from  compensatory  length- 
ening—in  the  south  it  is  eu,  iu  the  north  ia. 
Another  characteristic  of  the  words  in  which 
this  change  is  found  is  that  their  original 
stems  ended  in  o  or  a.  There  are  except  ions, 
drawn  in,perhaps,by  the  influence  of  analogy. 

The  vowel  that  changes  to  ia  iu  thi  uorch 
is  usually  written  eu,  but  it  occ'irs  also  as 
ia,  ei  and  e.  In  southern  pronunciation  it 
generally  has  the  sound  that  is  called  opeu  e, 
and  that  resembles,  except  that  it  is  In:!-;, 
that  of  e  in  English  let.  The  close  sou-id  e, 
like  that  of  e  in  English  whey  or  of  a  in  Eng- 
lish fate,  occurs  occasionally  in  words  that 
have  to  in  the  north,  but  in  general  is  con- 
fined to  those  words  in  which  liiiihcnougisa- 
tion  is  not  found,  as,  bemu,  ceum,  treun, 
beud.  In  contact  with  nasals  diphthongisa- 
tion  is  found  as  a  rule  only  in  those  instan- 
ces ia  which  the  vowel  is  nasalised  in  the 
south,  e.g.  in  eun,  ineur,  but  wot  in  beum, 
treun. 

Of  the  words  that  have  ia  in  the  north,  the 
following  are  found  with  e  iu  the  south  —

In  Strathspey  and  in  Sutherland.shire  there 
are  fewer  instances  of  e  than  in  Arrau.  The 
only  words  showing  the  change  to  ia,  that 
are  not  known  to  have  e,  iu  place  of  e,  in  some 
district  or  other,  are  ceud,  ceudna,  deug, 
feudail,  feun,  genbau,  peurtag,  reul,  reusi-il, 
and  reusan,  and  of  these,  three  are  borrowed 
words,  while  the  diphthongisation  of  at  least 
two  others,  feudail  and  reul,  is  local  and  ex- 
ceptional. The  association  of  the  change  to 
ia  with  the  open  sound  £  is  thus  very  close. 
The  tendency,  apparently,  when  the  vowel 
happens  ta  be  left  undiphthongised  in  the 
north,  is  to  sound  it  e,  and  further,  the  vo- 
wel is  apt  in  such  cases  to  be  e  also  in  Arran 
and  Islay,  but  e  in  Perth,  Strathspey  and 
Sutherland.  Beurla.  e.g.  is  beurla  in  Arran. 
Islay,  North  Argyll,  part  of  Skye,  North  In- 
verness and  West  Ross,  but  beurla  in  Perth 
and  Sutherland  ;  geug  is  geug  in  Arran.Islay, 
part  of  Skye  aud  Lewis,  but  geug  in  Perth, 
Stathspey  aud  Sutherland. 

The  vowels  that  are  subject  to  diphthongi- 
sation  are  arranged  in  the  following  groups  to 
show  the  occurrence  of  the  change  in  the 
southern  dialect,  in  Arran,  Islay  aud  Perth- 
shire, and  in  the  northern  dialect  iu  the  fol- 
lowing districts  in  order.  North  Argyll  (Ap- 
piu  and  Nunart),  Skye  (Sleat),  North  Inver- 
ness-shire(the  Aird,  south  aud  east  of  Beauly), 
West  Ross-shire,  and  Lewis.  The  pronuncia- 
tion given  in  M'trAlp'me's  Di-CnuKU'ii  is,  in 
general,  that  of  his  native  island  and  is  that 
given  here  under  the  minie  Islay.  The  ah-

souce  of  a  word  from  the  list  for  any  particu 
lar  district  does  not  in  all  cases  imply  non- 
diphthongisatiou  of  the  vowel  in  that  dis 
trict  ;  it  may  mean  that  there  is  some  other 
tion  on  the  w,.rd,  or  that  the  attempt 
to  ascertain  its  prouunciation  has  not  been 
attended  with  success.  Smouraich,  for  ex-

Eud  in  the  INorth  gcueialty  means  zeal, 
while  jealousy  is  '  iadach  '  (iu  Glenlyon.  'eud-

Diptithongi.sation  of  the  vowel  £  thus  ap- 
pears to  be  most  prevalent  in  the  central 
Highlands,  and  somewhat  less  so  iu  N.Argyii 
and  Leu  is.  It  ha>:  extended  strongly  into 
Kaunocu  which  breaks  away  from  tne  rest 
of  Pertnsh;reiii  this  respect,  and  is  sharply 
distinguished  from  Gleulyon  and  the  pcirisu 
of  Blair-Atholl,  bounding  it  respectively  on 
the  south  and  east,  and  is  in  lull  force  in 
Badeauch  and  Strathdearn,  its  eastern  limits, 
On  the  other  hand,  Strathspey,  which  me.ius 
in  local  usage  the  part  of  the  valley  of  the 
Spey  below  Jttuthiemurchus,  and  lies  in  an  an- 
gle between  Badenoch  on  the  south-west,  and 
Strathdearu  ou  the  north-west,  differs  from 
both  districts,  aud  agrees  closely  with  the 
South.  Far  north  Suiherlandshire  also, 
with  the  exception  perhaps  of  the  Assyut 
quarter  of  the  county,  claims  to  stand  with 
Strathspey  and  ihesoutn  in  this  matter.  The 
words  iii  which  ia  has  been  found  in  Strath- 
spey are  : — 

Ceud,  ceud,  ceudna,  Di-ceudain,  deug

Beul,  neul,  sgeul,'  cial.' 
Ceutach  and  feusgan  have  the  diphthong  in 
Creich,  deuchainn  and  feuch  in  Creich  and 
Kildonan,  reul  ('rialt'  or  more  frequently 
4  rialtag  ')  in  Kildonan,  and  ere  ('criaodhach') 
in  Kildonan  and  Strathy.  Ceutach  and  ceut- 
adh  apparently  are  diphthongised  by  some 
speakers  and  not  by  others  ('  ceutach  '  and 
ceutu  ')  in  the  Strathy  district. 

The  southern  e  of  beul,  neul,  and  sgeul  is 
changed  in  Sutherland,  not  into  to,  but  into 
a,  so  that  the  words  would  be  written  respect- 
ively, beal,  nyal,  and  sgeal,  and  are  pronoun- 
ced L>yal,  nyal,  sgyal.  Cial,  brim  of  a  vessel, 
is  also  changed  into  ceal  in  Sutherland. 
Though  this  resembles  in  the  result  the  change 
in  Arran  of  breagh,  ce  cream,  ere,  geadh,  and 
se,  respectively  into  breagh  (bre  or  brya,  Mac- 
Alpine),  cea,  crea,  geadh,  sea  (br'a,  cya,  cr'a, 
gya,  sha),  it  is  no  doubt  to  be  compared  ratiier 
with  the  transference  in  Gaelic  generally,  of 
the  pronunciation  from  e  to  a  in  such  words 
as  geal,  ('  gyal,')  seal,  ('  shal,')&c. 

A  substitution  of  other  sounds  for  e  some- 
times occurs.  Leabag  is  Ie6bag  ('  lyobag  ')  in 
N.  Inverness,  W.  Boss,  Lewis,  and  Suther- 
land ;  feusag  is  fepsag  (fyosag)  in  Suther- 
land ;  and  reapach  is  reopach  inN.  Inverness. 
Teuchaidh  viscid,  in  N.  Inverness  tiachaidh, 
is  teaochaidh  in  Creich,  anil  beurla  is  beaorla 
in  Strathspey,  and  in  parts  of  Skye  .and  Le- 
wis. The  name  for  the  landrail— trean-ri- 
trean — istraonin  Lewis  and,  according  to 
MacAlpine,  in  Skye  ;  in  Ireland  it  is  traona, 
[but  pronounced  trevna,  in  Uist  treona.] 

It  is  not  an  unknown  thing  that  a  word 
should  come  to  have  two  pronunciations  ac- 
companied by  some  differentiation  in  mean- 
ing or  usage.  In  N.  Argyll,  Skye,  N.  Inver- 
ness, ^V.  Boss,  and  Lewis,  send,  when  it 
means  jewel,  is  'seud,'  but  when  it  means 
hero  it  is  '  siad.'  The  word  is  everywhere 
in  those  districts  familiar  in  the  latter  seuse. 
As  seud,  jewel,  it  is  not  at  all  so  frequently 
used,  and  may  have  been  adopted  from  litera- 
ture. Meud  is  undiphthongised  throughout 
Sutherland,  except  in  the  phrase  '  co  miad  ' 
how  much.  The  phrase  is  '  ce  miod  '  in  Skye 
and  Lewis,  while  the  word  otherwise  is  both 
'  miod  '  and  '  miad  '  in  Lewis,  and  '  miad- 
achd  '  in  Skye,  and  also  in  N.  Argyll.  Mac- 
Alpine  gives  '  meud  '  and  '  miod.'  The  un- 
diphthongised  form  of  deug  is  kept  in  Perth, 
Strathspey,  W.  Boss,  and  Lewis  in  '  da  uair 
dheug,'  often  preceded  by  the  article  and  com- 
pressed '  an  da'r  'e"ug  '  the  twelve  o'clock  ;  in 
Sutherland  '  an  da'r  'iaog.'  In  Irish  '  dar- 
eug  '  means  twelve  persons. 

Similar  diphthongisation  is  found  in  Mun- 
ster  in  such  words  as  ceud,  deug,  eun,  feuch, 
feur,  and  also  in  words  in  which  it  is  un- 
known in  Scotland,  as  breun,  eug,  treun,  and 
even  eudochas,  eudtrom,  lighi,  eugc6ir,  injus- 
tice, eugmhais  want,  and  others.  To  Scot- 
tish Gaels  the  diphthongisation  of  eucoir 
and  eugmhais,  not  to  speak  of  eudochas  or 
aotrom  (for  eutrom),  seems  a  sheer  impossibi- 
lity, and  yet  it  is  found  with  us  in  the  word 
easgaidh,  i.e.  eu-sgith,  of  exactly  similar  for- 
mation."

being  fired.  Fallaid  is  the  refuse  of  meal 
left  on  the  baking-board  after  a  batch  ot 
bread  has  been  baked.  An  interesting-  cus- 
tom prevails  in  the  Outer  Hebrides,  auy  re- 
mains of  meal  on  the  board  being  made  into 
a  cake  in  the  palm  of  the  hand,  and  set  to  Ore 
among  the  other  and  larger  cakes.  The  cus- 
tom has  its  origin  in  a  superstitious  belief, 
that  doio^  thus  with  the  remains  keeps  the 
store  of  meal  from  wasting.  No  thrifty  wire 
would  think  of  dusting  the  baking-board  into 
the  meal  girnel.— D(J.

[In  Skye,  Leu-is,   ct-c.,  the  red  or  tangle  sea- 
weed is  called  bruchd,  and  the  cutting  sea- 
weed an  fheajnai'im.    In  Uist  the  red  seaweed 
is  called  feamainn  dearp,    as  distil  guished 
from  the  black  seaweed,'  which   they  cut  on 
the  rocks  round  the  shore,  and  which  is  call- 
ed feamainn  diLbh.    Feamainn  is  the  general 
name  lor  all  kinds  of  seaweeds,  but  there  are 
names  for  the  different  kinds.        F.  deant,  or 
ban-  dea.nj,&*  it  is  sometimes  called,  is  red  sea- 
weed.   In  Uist  the  red  seaweed,  which  is  cast 
ashore  in  May,  June  and  July,  and  of  which 
kelp  was  made,   is  called  am  bragairt.    The 
cutting  seaweed,  anfheamainn  ghearraidh,  is 
known  as  (a)  feamainn  dubh,  which  does  not 
float,  it  includes  aona-chasach  and  baiteach — 
(PM)  ;  (6)  feamainn  bhuidhe  or  bhuidheagach, 
which  floats  ;  (c)  gleadhrach,  which  also  floats; 
and  (d)  feamainn  chirean  or  chireag.        It  i3 
known  as  feamainn  chireana^h  in   Uist,  and 
/.  chireag  in  Skye  and  Lewis.    It  is  only  a  few 
inches  in  length, and  grows  only  on  rocks  that 
are    seldom  under    the  water  during  neap- 
tides.       It  has    a  strong  laxative  property, 
often  being  plucked  off  the  rocks  and  boiled, 
when  it  is  given  to  cattle  that  are  suffering 
from  dryness — JM.      In  Harris  the  long  sea- 
weed that  can  be  reached  when  the  tide  is 
very  low  is  called  langadal,  in  Uist  rochd. — 
(DMC)        In  Loch  Ewe  red  tangle  is  called 
feamainn  dearg  and  barra-stamh. — (DU)    All 
seaweed  cast  ashore  is  called  when  in  a  heap 
on  beach  bruchd,  otherwise  it  is  feamainn 
charra.    The  very  same  seaweed  if  cut  from 
the  rock  by  hand  is  called  feamainn  ghearrta.

beiug  laid  on  the  surface  and  covered  with 
eartli  dug  out  of  trenches  along  both  sides. 
The  term  "lazy-bed  "  applied  to  it  in  English 
is  merely  a  southern  odium  on  the  system  of 
farming  in  Gaeldom,  where  soil  was  scarce, 
and  where  bog-land  could  not  be  cultivated 
in  any  other  way.  Gheibheadh  tu  na  feann- 
agan-firieh,  you  would  find  the  forest  croics — 
saul  to  persons  who  boast  of  doing  impracti- 
cable tilings;  ars'  an  seoladair  anns  a'  chrann- 
aig — "  tha  e  ro  mhor  do  fheannaig,  agus  ro 
bheag  do  fhearaiuu,"  quoth  the  sailor  in  the 
cross-tree* — "  it  is  too  much  for  a  rig  and 
too  lit!le  for  a  lot.  "  This  sentence  is  trans- 
lated in  Campbell's  West  Highland  Tales  "  it 
is  too  bi_j  for  a  crow,  and  too  little  for  land. 
A.K.  givcis  a  modern  application  of  this  say 
ing  from  personal  experience,  which  makes 
tha  meaning  clearer,  and  as  he  narrowly  es- 
caped with  id.-}  life  on  the  occasion,  the  word 
and  their  application  are  indelibly  fixed  in 
his  memory.  When  out  fishing  in  the  Sound 


of  Sleat,  in  his  youth,  and  overtaken  by  a 
storm,  an  old  fisherman  who  was  at  the  helm 
told  the  boys  who  were  rowing  to  keep  a  sharp 
look-out  for  land,  as  the  evening  twilight  was 
fast  failing.  One  of  the  latter  suddenly  cried 
out  "Chi  mi  feannagan  A  NeMll  !  tha  sinn 
faisg  air  a'  Chill  bbig/'  After  taking  a  deli- 
berate survey  (uo  easy  matter  in  the  circum- 
stances), N.  replied  "  Cha'n  'eil  fhios  am  an 
e,  'illean,  tlia  e  ro'mhor  de  dh'  fheannag  agua 
ro  bheag  do  dh'  fhearran,  ach  dh'  fhaodadh 
gnr  e  an  t-eileau  mor  a  th'  ann,"  (I  don's 
know,  boys,  it  seems  too  big  for  a  rig  and  too 
small  for  the  land,  bub  perhaps  it's  the  large 
island)— which  it  was.

Textbook  of  Irish  Literature  says  "  The  file  is 
to  be  regarded  as  in  the  earliest  times  com- 
bining in  his  person  the  functions  of  magici- 
an, lawgiver,  judge,  counsellor  to  the  chief 
and  poet.  Later,  but  still  at  a  very  early 
time,  the  offices  seem  to  have  been  divided, 
the  brehons  devoting  themselves  to  the  study 
of  law,  and  the  giving  of  legal  decisions,  the 
druids  arrogating  to  themselves  the  superna- 
tural functions,  with  the  addition,  possibly, 
of  some  priestly  orh'ces,  and  the  fili  them- 
selves being  regarded  henceforth  principally 
as  poets  and  philosophers.  This  division  seems 
to  have  already  existed  in  Ireland  in  the  time 
of  St.  Patrick,  whose  preaching  brought  him 
into  constant  opposition  with  the  druids,  who 
were  evidently,  at  that  time,  regarded  aa 
the  religious  leaders  of  the  nation,  though 
there  does  not  seem  to  be  much  sign  that  they 
were,  as  they  undoubtedly  were,  even  at  an 
earlier  age  in  Britain  and  Gaul,  sac  ificing 
priests.  We  have  already  spoken  of  the  be- 
lief in  transmigration,  as  being  apart  of  the 
early  mythology  botn  of  Britain  and  Ireland. 
It  is  to  be  understood  that  the  Irish  pagan 
belief  does  not  exactly  correspond  with  (Jee- 
sar's  observations  regarding  the  teaching  of 
the  druids  in  Gaul,  in  the  pagan  literature 
of  Ireland,  we  find  no  trace  of  a  belief  in  a  life 
after  death.  The  mortals  that  went  into 
Magh  Mell,  or  the  Irisu  pagan  El>sium,  did 
not  go  there  by  means  or,  or  after,  death  ; 
they  went  as  visitors,  who  could  at  will  re- 
turn again  to  earth.  The  distinction  is  es- 
sential. Until  after  the  introduction  of 
Christian  teaching,  the  idea  of  a  life  after 
death  seems  to  have  been  non-existent. 
Both  the  re-incarnations  and  the  entrance 
into  Magh  Mell  were  made  during  the  con- 
tinuance of  mortal  life  ;  they  have  no  refer-

ence  to  a  life  beyond  the  grave.  Outside  the 
sphere  of  the  ancient  mythology,  the  belief 
in  transmigration  is  found  al.-v.  to  persist  ;  it 
re-appears  in  semi-historic  time^." 

Pomponius  Mela  speaks  of  the  druid  doc- 
trine of  immortality  in  Gaul,  but  says  no- 
thing as  to  the  entry  of  souls  into  other  bo- 
dies. He  cites  as  proof,  the  practice  of  burn- 
ing and  burying  with  the  dead  things  appro- 
priate to  the  needs  of  the  living.  He  wrote 
about  A.D.  44.

g,  gort,  ivy,  the  seventh  letter  of  the  Gaelic 
alphabet  now  in  use.  When  this  letter  is  fol- 
lowed by  one  or  more  of  the  vowels  a,  o,  «,  it 
sounds  nearly  like  g  in  gap,  goose,  or  rather, 
it  is  sounded  harder  than  g,  and  not  so  hard 
as  c.  G,  at  the  end  of  a  word,  if  preceded  by 
one  or  more  of  the  vowels  a,  o,  u,  or  a  liquid, 
sounds  most  frequently  like  k  in  rook,  hook, 
as,  rug,  bore  ;  thug,  <;ave  ;  (pron.  rook,  hook.) 
Gh,  before  a,  o  or  u,  has  an  aspirated  power,

gabh 


to  which  there  is  no  correspondent  sound  in 
English,  but  when  followed  by  e  or  i,  it 
sounds  like  y  in  ye,  as,  gheibh,  will  get.  Gk,  at 
the  end  of  words  or  syllables  is  seldom  pro- 
nounced at  all,  as,  faigh,  get ;  rioshachd,  a 
kingdom.  When  <i,  is  preceded  by  i,  or  fol- 
lowed by  t  or  t,  it  has  a  mellow  sound,  like  g 
in  girl,  as,  giu,  produce  ;  geire,  sharpness.  In 
conversation  g  is  often  elided  in  agam,  agad, 
againn,  agaibh.  In  A rran.it  is  elided  also 
iu  Gilleasbuig,  Eanruig,  thaiuia:,  Domhnas 
Casg  (Easter  Sunday),  and  in  sealg~in  Id  shealg 
na  cubhaige  ;  is  preserved  in  Sasgunn,  though 
not  in  Sasunnach  ;  and  in  some  instances  it 
has  become  t  or  rf  after  s  at  the  end  of  a  syl- 
lable, as  uiste  (for  uisge,  water)  ;  sothaisde- 
an  (for  sothaisgean,  primrose.) 

g,  (/or  ag)  prep.  At.  This  prep,  when  prefix- 
ed to  infinitives  or  verbal  nouns  gives  them 
the  force  or  meaning  of  the  present  participle. 
'G  is  used  between  two  vowels,  as,  tha  mi  'g 
bl,  I  am  (at)  drinking  ;  co  seo  'g  aom  air 
'luirg  ?  who  is  this  bending  over  his  staff  I 
tjhough  an  might  well  be  written  in  all  such 
instancesln  prose.  When  preceded  by  a  con- 
sonant, or  followed  by  a  vowel,  it  is  written 
entire,  as,  bha  'anam  ag  eMrigh  gun  fhiamh, 
his  soul  was  rising  fearlessly.  Ag  is  some- 
times used,  even  though  followed  by  a  con- 
sonant, as,  gathanna  llomhta  ag  tearnadh, 
polished  Jart*  descending.  Between  two  con- 
sonants the  g  is  often  dropped,  as  Turloch 
a*  caoidh  a  chloinne,  T.  bewailing  his  chil- 
dren.

prepared  after  tun  ancient  custom  of  the 
Gael.  A  woman  sitting  down,  took  a  hand- 
ful of  corn  and  holding  it  iu  her  left  hand  by 
the  stalks,  she  set  lire  to  the  ears,  which 
were  at  once  in  a  flame,  in  her  right  hand 
she  h-eld  a  stick,  wi  h  vvliion  she  dexterously 
beat  the  grain  out  the  very  instant  the  husks 
were  quite  burnt.  By  this  Dimple  process, 
corn  may  be  cut  clown,  'winnowed,  ground, 
dried  ami  baked  within  half-an-hour.  In 
separating  the  meal  from  tue  husks,  instead 
of  sieves*,  they  made  use  of  a  sheep-iiua 
stretched  ou  a  hoop,  minutely  perforated  by 
a  small  hot  iron.  I'he  bread  which  is  thus 
made  is  considered  Very  salubrious,  aud  is 
extremely  pleasant  to  the  palate  of  the  Gael" 
—  *  In  Vint,  where  the  three  processes,  eal- 
achadh,  eararadn  an.i  gradan,  may  still  be 
seen  practised,  the  im-an-  employed  are  prae-

grain  end  of  the  sheaf  is  put  iuto  the  flame 
of  the  fire  ;  when  the  chart:  and  ends  of  the 
straw  are  well  alight,  ihe  sheaf  is  held  over 
a  clean-swept  part  of  the  hearth,  or  over  some 
vessel,  when  the  graiu  drops  off.—  DC.

gu,  pr."p.  To,  towards.  Cuiridh  mi  litir  chugad, 
J.  wilt  se*id  a  lelf^r  to  you  ;  chuige  is  uaithe, 
to  and  fro  ;  gu  Behead,  to  twenty.  [Governs 
oative  case.]  Gu  is  gener  41y  omitted  in  Ar- 
gyl  g'-ire  whin  speaking  of  the  cardinal 
points,  as  tha  mi  'falbh  au  iar,  I  am  going  (to 
the)  W'-st  ;  tt:a  mi  'sealltainn  deas,  /  am  look- 
trig  iui<  a rd  the  south  ;  but  in  Slcye  and  the 
>orth  the  gu  is  generally  inserted,  as,  tha 
nii  dol  gu  deas,  /  am  <join>j  to  the  south.  In 
ifairluch,  Lochalah  A  Lochbroom  they  say  "  a' 
dol  i;u  deas  "  and  "  gu  tuath,"  but  "  a'  dol  an 
e:tr  ag-us  an  iar  (gu  pronounced  dho.)  Gu  in 
these  cases  is  not  good  idiom  ;  gu  implies 
reachi.ig  your  destination,  but  you  can  never 
reac'i  tue'  N.,  S.,  E  or  W.  It  may  be  men- 
tioned here,  under  j/M,  that  a  strange  effect  of 
the  migration  from  the  south  side  of  the 
Moray  Firth  is  heard  in  a  common  English 
expression  among  the  people  of  E.  Boss  gen- 
erally where  they  use  such  comical  phrases 
as,  /  am  going  west  to  the  kitchen,  I  am  going 
taut  to  the  room  —but  the  place  indicated  as 
ea.-t  is  oi'len  almost  due  north.  [In  certain 
districts  of  Perthshire  all  piaces  are  either 
east  or  uvs£.]  This  disappearance  of  to  in 
English  when  speaking  of  the  cardinal  points 
i«  worth  noting.  At  first  sijjht,  it  appears  as 
though  the  Gaelic  idiom  of  the  south  bad 
been  translated  into  the  English  of  the 
north,  but  the  English  idiom  has  really  no 
connection  with  Gaelic. 

Gu  is  used  locally  in  Suth'd  in  place  of  the 
usual  a  before  iniinitives,  a*,  gu  arach  an  an- 
ma,  to  nourish,  their  souls. 

G.    sei'g  nan  slialih,  to  the  mountain-chase 


evr  ;  blia  Ihna  gu  leth,  a  year  and  a  half. 
[Qu  here  does  not  mean  to,  but  is  a  remnant 
of  con,  with,  and  is  only  found  in  a  few  sen- 
tences, as,  "  bliadhna  gu  leth,"  "  gu  Mac  '  lo 
Alasdair  's  Lochial."] 

When  au  comes  before  an  adjective,  the  adj. 
is  translated  into  English  as  an  adverb,  a*, 
math,  good,  »u  math,  well ;  buileach,  e/ect- 
ual,  gu  buileach,  effectually.  Armstrong  says 
"  Gu  has  often  a  similar  effect  on  a  substan- 
tive, as,  beachd,  observation,  gu  beachd,  clear- 
ly; dearbh,  proof,  gu  dearbh,  trvly,  indeeit," 
but  both  words  are  adjectives—"  gu  beachd  " 
is  au  Irishism  in  the  Psalms,  "  beachd  "being 
an  adjective  in  Irish.  Chi  thu  chugad  e,  'a 
cha'n  fheairrd  thu  agad  e,  you'll  see  it  cominp 
to  you,  and  you'll  be  none  the  better  when  you 
have  got  it. 

gu,  ado.  Till,  until. 

su,  cony.  That,  to  the  end  that.  Used  to  signify 
a  wish  or  idea,  and  implies  that  a  sentence 
which  is  not  expressed  precedes  the  clause 
it  introduces.  (Tha  e  fior)  gu'n  tugadh  crodh 
Chailein  dhoinh  bainn'  air  an  raou,  (it  is  true) 
that  Colin's  cattle  would  give  me  milk  on  the 
plain  ;  (is  e  mo  mhiann-sa  )  gu'n  robh  moran 
inaith  agad, (it  is  my  with)  that  you  may  hav?

beo  an  righ  !  long  live  the  king  !  slan  gu'n 
robh  an  Gaidheal  gasda,  may  the  gallant  Celt 
be  hale.  Gu  is  used  in  poetry  if  the  nomina- 
tive precedes  the  verb,  and  also  to  give  great- 
er emphasis,  as,  fiamh  aiteis  aird,  gu'n  robh 
'na  ghr-uis,  an  appearance  of  exceeding  joy  twM 
in  his  face  ;  nam  bu  duine  eile  gu'n  deanadb,

h,  Uath,  the  hawthorn-tree  The  eighth  lottei 
of  the  Gaelic  aipaab^t  now  iu  u.se.  It  is  used 
in  Scottish  Gaelic  not  properly  as  a  letter,  fox 
no  word  comuaencos  with  ic,  but  simply  as  a 
sign  of  aspiration,  in  tne  same  way  as  the  dot 
is  used  over  consonants  iu  Irish  Gaelic. 
When  it  is  prefixed  to  a  word  beginning  with 
a  vowel,  it  lias  the  same  degree  of  aspiration 
M&bt*att,  hurt— ua  n-6'g  lean,  the  maids; 
na  h-oidnche,  of  th».  nijhr,.  It  is  also  required 
between  the  negative  ni  and  the  following 
word,  if  it  ber^iu  with  a  vowel— ni  h-e,  not 
he;  ni  h-eadn,  no;  ui  h-iad,  not  they  ;  ni  h- 
fheudar,  must.  not. 

Before  an  initial  vowel,  h  is  sometimes  in 
sorted,  and  sometimes  not,  after  certaiuwords. 
Iu  Sky?,  the  tendency  is  to  insert  that  letter 
as  showu  by  Mary  MacPnerson  in  her  book 
of  poems— after  prepositions,  le  bxiio  a.s,  pp.

the  conjunctions  am,  cha,  nach,  gur,  inur,  &c.

Seed-time 

Tht-i-ri  appears  to  be  considerable  confusion 
in  Gaelic  pro verbs,&?., regarding  the  first  three 
significations  given  above  for  Mart,  as  is  ex- 
emplified in  the  following  notes  from  Nicol- 
son's  Gaelic  Proverbs  (NGP),  W*ifs  &  Strays 
(W),  and  Carolina  Gadelica  (AC.) 

Iu  the  first-place  the  old  "  months  "  appear 
to  have  been  moveable,  and  depended  tor  the 
timj  of  their  commencement  upon  whether 
the  suitable  weather  had  already  arrived.  If 
tha  weathei  had  not  come,  neither  had  the 
m  >nth,  e  g.  Luath  no  mall  g'an  tig  am 
Maitih,  thig  a'  chubhag,  la>?  or  early  a*  May 
comrs,  (i.e  as  May-weather  comes),  so  cornr* 
(he  cuckoo  Tha  names  ol  several  ra  >ntn<,  or 
rather  periods,  ot  various  lengths  occur  twice, 
while  Mart  occurs  uo  less  thau  three  times. 

The  comparatively  modern  Mart  O  S., 
which  is  still  iu  vogue  m  some  parts,  (saya 
AC  in  speaking  ni  the  months  in  general) 
being  still  used  in  an  (J.».  manner,  does  not 
commence  uuul  the  orthodox  calendar  month 
is  half  goue.  AC  i.  M>,  11.  263,  &  NGP  413, 
botn  make  Mart  extend  into  April.  Nicol- 
sou  appears  to  nave  been  puzzled,  for  nu 
explanation*  are  obscure.  On  p.  M  (NGP) 
he  translates  "  an  ciad  Mhart."  as  the  first 
Tttfttitty,  while  from,  a  noce  explaining  the 
sania  proverb,  it  i.s  evident  that  he  thought 
Mart  stood  for  March. 

The  first  Tuesday  of.  the  sowiug-iiuie  or 
times,  would  appear  to  be  "  An  ciad  Mnart 
de  Mhirt-ua-curachd,  "  in  th«  same  w.ty  as 
there  was  a  Uealltuinu  of  the  15  ;alltumij  and 
a  Liiiiiasdal  ot  Liuuasdal.  A<J  gives  ''ijaotb 
gheur  nam  Mart'  (pi.)  NGP  j)  26  speaks  of 
three  Marts.  W.  lii.  218,  .-93,  299  speaks  of 
three— Apl.  12  to  May  1,  Aug.  12,  Sept.  12— 
(This  triple  occurrence  of  VI  is  note  worthy. 1 

NGP  says  1st.  week  of  April  is  too  soon  to 
sow,  so  he  would  appear  to  prefer  the  2nd  or 
3rd.  week.  Is  fhearr  an  sueachd  na  'bhi  gun 
sian,  au  dei'lh  an  siol  a  clmr  'sau  talarnh,  bet~ 
ter  snoio  than  no  rat,n-ntorm,  when  the  seed  i* 
t/i  lheyrou.nl,  (p.  251)  shows  thai  sowing  were 
better  done  when  snow  is  out  of  season,  i.  e. 
late  iu  April.  AC  says  seed  is  winnowed  by 
"gaoth  »heur  nain  Mart,"  before  beiny;  sown, 
therefore  ttie  Mart  or  Marts  must  be  nearly- 
over,  i.e  late  in  April,  before  the  seed  is  m 
the  ground.  W.  gives  Apl.  12  to  May  1,  i.e. 
late  in  April.  Another  proverb,  (NGP.  24) 
Am  feur  a  thig  a  raa.cn  'sa  Mhart,  theid  e 
scauh  'sa  Ghiblean,  the  grata  that  com-s  out 
\n  Ma>'ch  xhnnk*  away  in  April,  implies  that 
seed  should  not  appear  till  Marc  be  over,  or 
else  it  will  be  killed  by  the  weather. 

On  the  other  hand,  NGP  gives  Isfhearraon 
oidhche  Mhairt  na  tri  la  Fosiiair  (lor  growth), 
so  tue  seeit,  to  judge  by  this.ougnc  to  be  com- 
ing up  in  March,  or  else  that  sowing  ought  to- 
be  doue  earlier.  [It  is  most  likely  that  it  is 
not  growth  which  is  referred  to  in  this  pro- 
verb, as  Nicolson  supposes,  but  the  winnow- 
ing referred  to  by  AC.J  NGP  says  Tuesday 
for  sowing,  AC  prefers  Friday.  There  was 
also  the  "  flor,"  or  suitable  Mart,
