Note I.

On the reasons for keeping alive the [rish Language.

IT seems ridiculous that we cannot publish a book in our
own language without introducing more or less of English
into it. I had determined to publish these stories just as
they are, without any commentary, such seeming to me un-
necessary ; but certain friends pointed out to me the advisa-
bility of adding some explanatory observations on the text,
which should prove useful to any who may use this book to
learn Irish.

I accordingly write—reluctantly enough—this and the fol-
lowing notes in English, seeing that some learners may find
them useful; and as people are always asking: ‘‘ What
is the good of keeping up the language at all?” I deter-
mined that this first note should be a short answer to that
question.

Perhaps I cannot do better than reproduce here part of an
answer already published elsewhere, when those who wished
to preserve our language were accused by an Irish magazine
of aimlessness and foolishness. I then said :

“*Tf we allow our living language to die out, it is almost cer-
tain that we condemn our literary records to remain in ob-

214

scurity. All our great scholars, nearly all those who have done
anything for the elucidation of our MSS.—O’Connor, of Bal-
linagar, O'Donovan, O’Curry, Petrie, Hennessy—all these
spoke the language naturally from their cradle, and had it
not been so they would never have been able to accomplish
the work they did, a work which first made it possible for
a Jubainville or a Windisch to prosecute their Celtic studies
with any success.

“There is no use in arguing the advantage of making Irish
the language of our newspapers and clubs, because that is
and ever will be an impossibility ; but for several reasons we
wish to arrest the language in its downward path, and if we
cannot spread it (as I do not believe we very much can), we
will at least prevent it from dying out, and make sure that
those who speak it now shall also transmit it unmodified to

_theirdescendants. -... . .

“To be told that the language which I spoke from my
cradle, the language of my father and grandfather, and all
my ancestors in an unbroken line leading up into the remote
twilight of antiquity, have spoken; the language which has
entwined itself with every fibre of my being, helped to mould
my habits of conduct and forms of thought; to be calmly
told by an Irish journal that the sooner I give up this lan-
guage the better; that the sooner I “leave it to the univer-
sities’ the better; that we will improve our English speaking
by giving up our Irish: to be told this by a representative
Irish journal is naturally and justly painful.

“I do not think the Saxon language has greater claims
upon the western peasantry, or on myself, than the Irish
language has, or that we should be told to give up the tongue
of our fathers that we may better speak the language of
strangers. Shc

“I cannot conceive a more acute pain in the power of sen-

215

timent to inflict than that which I should feel if, after a life
passed in England, or America, or the Colonies, I were to
come back to my native mountains and find that the indif-
ference or the actual discouragement of our leaders had suc-
ceeded in destroying the language of my childhood, and with
it the tales, the traditions, the legends, the imaginations
with which my cradle had been surrounded.

**T do not think it would be for the advantage of our race
to let our language die. I affirm without hesitation that
those who continue to speak their own language are in every
way the intellectual, and generally the moral, superiors of
those who have allowed it to die out. When a locality has
allowed Irish to die out the people lose nearly all those dis-
tinctive characteristics which make them so lovable and so
courteous. I have verified this over and over again, and
feel sure I am asserting the truth. The reason of it is trans-
parently obvious. When they lose the language they lose
also the traditional unwritten literature which, inculcating
and eulogising what is courteous, high-minded, and noble,
supplied continuously an incentive to the practice of those
qualitiessyy-i-nn-

‘* Wherever Irish is the vernacular of the people there
live enshrined in it memories and imaginations, deeds of
daring, and tragic catastrophes, an heroic cycle of legend
and poem, a vast and varied store of apothegms, sententious
proverbs, and weighty sentences, which contain the very
best and truest thoughts, not of the rude forefathers of the
hamlet, but of the kings, sages, bards, and shanachies of
bygone ages. Such a stream of collected thought as is every-
. where found where the Irish language remains spoken must
exercise an influence on those who come into contact with
it, and such an influence must be an advantageous one... .

“Hí by ceasing to speak Irish our peasantry could learn

216

to appreciate Shakespeare and Milton, to study Wordsworth
and Tennyson, then, indeed, we might let it go without any
very acute pang. But thisis not the case. We lay aside a
language which for all ordinary purposes of everyday life is
more pointed and forcible than any with which I am ac-
guainted, and we replace it by another which we learn badly,
and speak with an atrocious accent, interlarding it with bar-
barisms and vulgarity.

“« The language of the western Gael is the language best
suited to his surroundings ; it corresponds best to his topo-
graphy, his nomenclature, his organs of speech, and the
use of it guarantees the remembrance of his own weird and
beautiful traditions. Around the blazing bog-fire, of a win-
ter’s night, Dermod O’Duibhne of the Love Spot, Finn with
his coat of hairy skin, Conan the Thersites of the Fenians,
the old blind giant Essheen (Ossian), the speckled bull with
the movable horn, the enchanted cat of Rathcroghan, and
all the other wild and poetic offspring of the bardic imagi-
nation pass in review before us. Every hill, every /zos, every
crag, and gnarled tree, and lonely valley has its own strange
and graceful legend attached to it, the product of the Hiber-
nian Celt in its truest and purest type, not to be improved
on by change, and of infinite worth in moulding the race
type, of immeasurable value in forming its character. But
with the loss of the Irish language all this is lost.

“The native Irish deal in sententious proverbs perhaps
more than any other nation in Europe; their refertoire of
apothegms is enormous. It is a characteristic which is lost
with their change of language, and, consequently, has not
been observed or noticed. Let their language die, and not
one of their proverbs willremain. Of the hundreds of stereo-
typed sayings and acute aphorisms which I have heard aptly
introduced upon occasions where Irish was spoken, I cannot

217

say that I have heard five survive in an English dress where
the language has been lost. And if this is the case with
aphorisms and sayings, much more does it hold good of the
songs, the legends, and the heroic cycle of stories. I believe,
for example, that the character of the people is no longer the
same in the east of the county Leitrim and in the county
Longford, where Irish died out a generation or two ago.
There Dermod of the Love Spot is unknown, Finn Mac
Cool is barely remembered as a ‘giant,’ Ossian is never heard
of, the ancient memories have ceased to cling to the various
objects of nature; the halo ofromance, the exquisite and
dreamy film which hangs over the Mayo mountains has
been blown away by the blast of the most realistic mate-
rialism ; and the people, when they gather into one another’s
houses in the evening fora caz/ee (céi\live—a night-visit),
can talk of nothing but the latest scandal, or the price Tim
Rooney got for his calf, or the calving of Paddy Sweeny’s
cow. emer tabectet

“I do not believe in resuscitating a great national lan-
guage by twopenny-halfpenny bounties. If the Irish people
are resolved to let the national language die, by all means let
them. I believe the instinct of a nation is often juster than
that of any individual. But this, at least, no one can deny,
that hitherto the Irish nation has had no choice in the matter.
What between the Anglo-Irish gentry, who came upon us
in a flood after the confiscations of 1648, and again after
1691, whose great object it was to stamp out both the lan-
guage and institutions of the nation, with their bards and
shanachies, ollamhs and professors; what with the bru-
talized, sensual, unsympathetic gentry of the last century, the
racing, blustering, drunken squireens, who usurped the places of
the O’Connors, the O’Briens, the O’Donnells, the O’Cahans,
the MacCarthys, our old and truly cultured nobility, who

218

cherished hereditary poets and historians; what with the
purblind, cringing pedagogues of the present century, whose
habit it was to beat and threaten their pupils for talking
Irish ; what with the high-handed action of the authorities,
who, with cool contempt of existing circumstances, continued
to appoint English-speaking magistrates, petty-sessions clerks,
and local officials among a people to whom they could not
make themselves intelligible ; what with the hostility of the
Board of Education, who do not recognise the language of
those baronies where no English is spoken, even to the ex-
tent of publishing school-books in it; what with this, and
our long slavery asa nation, we assert that the Irish land
guage has had no chance of showing its capabilities, or those
who speak it of taking their own part, and making their voice
heard ucwcne mer

““ So strong is the feeling in America in favour of an attempt
to preserve, what many people there feel to be the purest
and most seductive thing that Irish nationality can pre-
sent them with, that even the Mew York Herald, the lead-
ing newspaper in America, opened its columns the other day
to a portion of a speech spoken in Irish by some prominent
patriot in New York, which it not only printed in Irish as
delivered, but also in the native type. Have we lived to see
it? Are they less materialistic over there beyond the seas
than we are at home? Does the Wew Vork Herald actually
do for us what Unzted Treland obstinately refuses to do?

“There is just one other objection to be noticed ; we are told
that in learning English we are learning a superior language
to that we are invited to leave off. It isso; but unless we
learn it in a superior way, we get no good by the change.
For all the ordinary purposes of everyday peasant life, I
believe Irish to be enormously superior to English —certainly
to the English that is spoken in Ireland. . . ee“

219

“In conclusion, we may say this, that while our social and
commercial relations make it a necessity for every man,
woman, and child, in this kingdom, to learn English, sooner
or later, reverence for our past history, regard for the me-
mory of our ancestors, our national honour, as well as the
fear of becoming materialised and losing our best and high.
est characteristics, call upon us imperatively to assist the
Irish-speaking population at the present crisis, and to estab-
lish for all time a bi-lingual population in those parts of
Ireland where frish is now spoken, from which all those who,
in the distant future, may wish to investigate the history or
the antiquities of our nation, may draw, as from a fountain,
that vernacular knowledge which for such purpose, is indis-
pensably necessary.”

I do not think there is much to add to what I have said
here, except to observe that it is a national duty—I had
almost said a moral one—for all those who speak Irish to
speak it to their children also, and to take care that the grow-
ing generation shall know it as well as themselves: and in
general, that it is the duty of all Irish-speakers to use their
own language amongst themselves, and on all possible occa-
sions, except where it z2// ot run. For, if we allow one of
the finest and richest languages in Europe, which, fifty years
ago, was spoken by nearly four millions of Irishmen, to die
out without a struggle, it will bean everlasting disgrace anda
blighting stigma upon our nationality.

Nore II.
On the Text of these Stories.

It is necessary to make a few observations about the text of
those tales. In what language exactly are they couched?
In writing this book there were three courses open to me.

First, I might have reduced all the grammatical forms to
those of the older and purer language found in the ancient
MSS., and, by the aid of scientific treatment and philology,
have given, as nearly as possible, a reproduction of the subtle
and various inflections of this old Aryan language in its least
adulterated forms.

Secondly, disregarding all purity of inflection, and all
established rules whatsoever, I might have written the stories
down exactly as I heard them, changing the stereotyped
orthography of the various words so as to correspond to the
sounds given to them by my shanachies, and leaving
unaltered all errors of inflection and grammar; writing
rear icéinc for pean é151n, fuard Té Lopa for Cu 410 ré Led,
etc. ; since the words were so pronounced, and writing aip
an leac, leir an bean, for ap an Leic, Leip an mnaoi,
wherever the story-teller forgot to inflect Leac and bean
properly.

Thirdly, I might, while retaining the ordinary and univer-
sally accepted orthography of the last three centuries, write
down the stories as they were told ; but in the writing of them
correct, for myself, errors of grammar, and, more especially,
errors of inflection ; and upon occasions even go so far as
to substitute a word here and there in place of some barbaric
half-Anglicised compound used by my narrator in the heat
of story-telling, as, for instance, bi ré pparpoedpract for “ bí

re 5lacad, walk,” pparpoedpacc being a word universally
known and used.

Of these three possible courses, I did not follow the first
for various reasons, of which one was all-sufficient, namely,
that my acquaintance with the proper inflections of the an-
cient language, as read by the light of science and philology,
is much too slender. Neither have I adopted the second
course. To have done so would have been to produce an
appalling mixture, absolutely unintelligible to the general
student of the language, who has no acquaintance with it as
spoken, and probably (since most of these tales come from
Central Connacht) unintelligible to even Irish-speakers of the
other provinces. I have accordingly adopted the third and
only other possible method. I may say that I have not
changed a word, or, at the most, have merely substituted
Irish words;for English ones in two or three places, while I
have been most careful to avoid grammatical errors as far as
possible, and to give to all words their proper written case- .
endings and inflections.

I must explain, by a few instances, what it is I mean by
grammatical errors. I have heard, for example, a person
gay 4n T-inSean, making 1ngean a masculine word, which
it is not, for all over the country the best speakers make it
feminine an ingean; and so, even where the narrator may
have said an t-ingean, I have invariably given it its right
gender, and so with all other words, in the few instances in
which I have found the wrong genders given. Again, in
Connacht we never pronounce the f of the future and con-
ditional tenses, or the 16 in the Dat. Plural of nouns; but I
have not, on that account, ventured to depart from the uni-
versally received orthography. Again, people say indiffer-
ently cá me burdeaé Leac and diot, but as de is the
pronoun used in the best books and MSS., and by the Irish

222

speakers of the southern province, Ihave invariably used.it.
Again, one may hear aman say, bain mé leir an ppeal é,
or tabsip DAM Luac oeoc. I have in such cases changed
peal and oeoc into ppert and dige, as all the better and
older speakers, and all the old songs and poems would do
also. Or people will say, a5 bnhnúsao mo cor, a5 Zlansd
mo bnós, for coire and bnóise ; or cao é an pont Fean é
for fifi; or TAInIg Té Leip na FIN for Leip na reanaib ; or
beata 00 mac for 00 mic; or Leip an fear for Leip an
breap ; or a1n fead on bliaoai for na blisdna, etc. In
all these cases I have corrected the grammar, while leaving
the words perfectly intelligible still. A few expressions, too,
that have evidently crept in from the analogy of the English
language, as 4n méao & Cuatd Té TD, 2.2. “all he went
through, endured,” or tuit ré 1 nZpsv, ze. “he fel/ in
love,” I have here and there changed, but 27 every case into
popular expressions in common use with the people.

The two stories, Soillip na $-cor Oub, and Ca0s o
c4ctAin, I did not take down in writing. I heard them told,
and tell them over again here, in my own language, just
such language as I would use in conversing, say, with some
of the gentlemen of the Gaelic Union, who come from
various parts of Ireland, but who speak a comparatively
standard speech with one another. The main’ difference
between the language as spoken by them and by the people
of Mid-Connacht is one of pronunciation. In order to
make myself understood by educated Irishmen from other
parts of the island, I pronounce, for instance, Connaipe mé
and Gua1d mé as they are written, hunuirk me, hooce me
but to make myself understood in Connacht by the unedu-
cated, I must pronounce them as if written haanaic mé-
fuaio mé. In Connacht I must pronounce Leó as Léa,
70016 as oára ; but it is needless to say that I have never

223

written them so. Each Irish speaker into whose hands this
book may fall will pronounce the words to himself according
as he has pronounced them all his life, just as the Scotchman
may pronounce the letters “‘ enough” as ameuch, while an
Englishman will pronounce them ezzf, although, in the face
of the fixed orthography, neither would venture to tamper
with the letters. Let the Munsterman then pronounce usd
or ward weg, and let the Connachtman pronounce it wya ;
I have written it, and I hope all other words, as far as I was
able, in accordance with the best and purest forms of the
language, as corrected by the best books, MSS., grammars,
and dictionaries.

But let both Southerns and Westerns know this, that in
order to converse with educated Irishmen from other parts of
the country, they must pronounce neither weg nor wya, but
as it is spelled and pronounced by the best speakers doa
or d0ée.

Of course, after these confessions, it will be seen that this
book possesses little pizlo/ogical value, since I have neither
adopted the case-endings of the older language, nor yet given
the new exactly as I found it. I did not, however, mean
that the volume should possess any philological value. I
know that it would be of interest to many scholars, and a
great boon, to reproduce the exact pronunciation and lan-
guage of the people who told me these stories. It would show
them what the language is, as really spoken. But I could
not dosc. The seventeen Irish letters would have been in
fact unequal to the task, and I should have had to adopt or
invent a new phonetic alphabet for such a purpose. But Iam
far from underrating the importance, I may even say the
necessity, of fixing by some stereotyped phonetic system the
exact pronunciation of the various provinces, and even of the
various counties, before the language dies, if it ever does die.

224

It is a real calamity that nothing has ever been done in this
direction. In this volume there is no room for me to make
any full attempt in this line, but I have done something
towards it in another note. I have done it, however, with-
out any special system, merely taking the values of the English
letters as they stand; but of course it is impossible in this
way to accurately render the real sound, and the pronuncia-
tion as conveyed by the ordinary powers of the English
alphabet is only tentative and proximate.

My friend, Mr. Larminie, from whose voluminous MSS.
of phonetically written stories I borrowed Na ty ce1pce-
Anna and niall O Ceapbuid, has, I believe, some such
design in view. It is to be hoped that he may see his way
to carry it out fully, for whoever succeeds in applying a
sound system of phonetics to the fixing of the various dialectic
pronunciations of Ireland, before they die, will have done
something of national importance.

Note III.
On the Pronunciation of Central Connacht.

To lips accustomed to speaking only English or the
Romance languages, Irish is very difficult to pronounce.
This would not, however, matter so much, if only having
once mastered the value of the letters and the most difficult
of the sounds, one were sure that they could pronounce any
word so as to make themselves understood by native Irish
speakers. Unfortunately they cannot. The same words are
pronounced variously in different parts of the country, and
the value of the letters is different in different counties. Be-
sides this, there are some words which are nowhere pro-

ol

nounced according to the spelling. Irish holds in this respect
a place midway between German, on the one hand, and Eng-
lish, on the other. In German one can always know how a
word is pronounced by seeing it written ; in English one can
tell very rarely ; in Irish one can tell very often, but not
always. This is no place for a disquisition on Irish pronun-
ciation, but a few words upon that of Central Connacht can
hardly fail to be interesting. I write this the more readily
because I know how little attention has been given to this
subject by writers of grammars and others, many of whom
were unacquainted with the spoken language. I have even
met a good Irish scholar, a most extensive reader both of
books and MSS., who had never learned from any of his books
that the second person of the past tense of the indicative
active was pronounced differently from the first person ; who
did not know, I mean, that Seappaoir, “you cut,” was
pronounced differently from Seappar, ‘6 I cut,” or pinnear,
I did, from funmir; “you did ;” he did not know that one is
pronounced yérras, rinyds, the other yarrésh, rinntsh. In
using the acute accent (’), I only mean that in speaking stress
is laid on the accented syllable, and where I use the circum:
flex (*), no stress is to be laid on the syllable.

Of course, the important words for us to ascertain the pro-
nunciation of are the commonest ones, especially the pro-
nouns and prepositions, for as a rule most of the longer
words are pronounced pretty much as written. Amongst the
pronouns, then, the most are pronounced in Central Connacht
as written, with the exception’ of 4p, our, which is pro-
nounced zrr, and bún, which is” pronounced very like it,
while 04m is pronounced dumm ; but 'oam-ra, the em-
phatic form of it, is pronounced doo-sa. 0616 is pronounced
dawfa, and I have seen it written odip in some pretty
old MSS.

16

226

With regard to the pronouns and prepositions compounded,
which play so important a part in the Irish language, to be-
gin with the commonest, asam, we find it very differently
pronounced in different places. In the centre of Connacht it
is pronounced with the stress on the last syllable, dgumm,
deut, fyca, dgunn, dguv, riccoo. In west Mayo and Galway,
however, the accent is on the first syllable, dgeum, dgeut,
zgga, etc. In Donegal the pronunciation is still more curious,
something like ozam ; but I am not sufficiently acquainted
with that dialect to describe it. Opps, 10nnTs, eacoppa,
nómpa, and tapra have in all of them the final a pro-
nounced like ú, as wzrroo, zntoo, attaroo, rumtpoo, and
harsoo.

Ann, which in Munster and other places is pronounced
oun, is in mid-Connacht pronounced sometimes 7 and
sometimes w727, and this is also the sound of the so common
preposition cum. Thus, cum an thapiagard, “to the mar-
ket,” is pronouneed um or inn a worrdgee. Spam is not pro-
nounced, as one might from analogy imagine, ossam, but
assam. "Oiob is pronounced with the 0 aspirated, some-
thing like weefa. it is foofa. somis not lyumm, as
spelled, but 2mm; Leac Jat or lath, Lear lesh, and Leó is
lofa. taim is pronounced in declining it like wem, wet, wya,
wenn, wev, wuffa. Morte is pronounced rivva. The sc in
chíom is always aspirated, and tpiota pronounced h’reefa.
The pronouns compounded with uar, reac, and um appear
to be obsolete forms.

Of the indefinite pronouns, aon is not pronounced een,
although ao in Connacht has always the sound of ¢e ; but in
this instance it has the Munster sound of ae, and Aonis ane.
eísin is most curiously pronounced, for it has the sound of
iceint, thus feap efsin is pronounced farikaint ; elsewhere,
I believe, it is pronounced azgizt, eile is pronounced e/a,

227

C14 is pronounced, not &cea, as spelled, but Zay. But the
most. curious pronunciation of all is that of the common
word ttle, which, when it comes before the noun, means
“every,” and is pronounced Au//a ; when it comes after
the noun, means ‘‘all,” and is pronounced e//zk ; thus uile
pijic is pronounced hudla fotrk, and means ‘‘ every field,”
while na p4ipceanna uile is pronounced a goirkdnée ellik,
and means ‘‘all the fields.”

We now come to the pronunciation of the verbs, and here
we must first remark that the general infinitive ending of
regular verbs in a0 is in Connacht pronounced go. Thus
5Lanad is pronounced glonndo, but in Munster glonnd. In
the next place it is important to note that in central Con-
nacht the language has become so far disintegrated that many
of the commonest synthetic forms are lost. Thus sucha form
as buailin, ‘thou beatest,’ is nearly lost; and buailti,
“ye beat,” is quite lost. We say instead, buaileann ctu,
buaileann rib; and aprogos of this form, which is properly
a consuetudinal one, and should only mean, ‘‘ thou art in
the habit of beating,” I may remark that it is constantly em-
ployed not only in Connacht, but in Munster also, in the
sense of the ordinary present indicative in a non-consuetudinal
sense. Thus má tuiteann cu, brupprd cu é, “if you fall
you will break it ;” maw hitydn thu, Dyrishé thu ae will be
heard as often in Waterfordas in Mayo. The other synthe-
tic forms that are not in common use are buaileabsn, ‘ye
struck ;” buailti, “ye used to strike ;” buailpip, “thou wilt
strike ;” buailrío, “ye will strike;” and buailrío, ““ye
would strike.” All the other synthetic forms are more or
less used, and there is one form for which there is no analytic
equivalent current, that of buailped, “thou wouldest
strike,” pronounced wooalhd. Of course the f that runs
through the future and conditional tenses is never pro-
nounced, but this is not common to Connacht ; like the 16

228

in the dative case plural of nouns, it is retained all over the
island in writing, but not inpronouncing. The second per-
son plural of the imperative ends (as in many other parts of
Ireland) in 1510 ; thus cu1pio—put ye—is pronounced as if
written cu1pigroe, 5Lana10 as SLanas 10, etc.

The third person singular of the conditional active, is a
form as to the’ending of which there exists considerable dis-
crepancy, even in the same counties. Thus in such words as
oA noeunpad Té sin, 00 byippesd ré on Slaine, ‘if he
were to do that he would break the glass,” the a0 of the
two verbs would be pronounced sometimes 00, sometimes cf
(especially in west Galway), and sometimes (as in Roscom-
mon and Sligo) as z¢#, This last pronunciation is one which
is, I believe, peculiar to the northern half of Ireland, but I
have heard people in the same barony use all three forms, and
pronounce DA noeunfsd fé as daw n'yeendo shay, daw
n’yeenuch shay, and (especially in north Roscommon and
Sligo) daw, or du n’yeenttt shay. I must here remark that
voeun, ‘ todo,” ispronounced all over Connacht as @’yee-unn,
not @’yaé-unn, as in Munster. I must confess, however,
that I have often noticed in north Roscommon (and the cus-
tom probably obtains more widely) a tendency to confuse the
endings of the first person plural of the conditional, the
future, and the ‘perfect ; and instead of maoiy, as in paca-
maotr, “we would go,” or mayji, as in pinneaman, ‘wedid,”
to use m1, and say funnemto, 04 pacamin, etc., which is
of all the marks of disintegration that I have mentioned, by
far the most shocking. But let no one imagine that this is
done by all, for I have met Gaelic speakers here and there
who spoke the language with astonishing correctness and
amazing power of expression, so as to open to the curious
hearer a regretful glimpse of what the language must have
been in the past, and what it might be capable of in the

220

present had it only received fair play. I may add here that
the language, though richer than English in having several
consuetudinal tenses, suffers somewhat for want of a pluper-
fect tense. To express sucha sentence as, ‘‘ If I had known
that, I would have spoken sooner,” we must say in Irish, 04
mberdead fíor asam pin,. 00 Laibedpainn níor Luatte ;
literally, ““ If I would know that I would speak sooner.”
Besides the anomalous pronunciations which I have men-
tioned, there are many others of isolated words, such as of
oeanbpdtcain and 'oeinbfiúin, which are in no part of Ire-
land pronounced exactly as they are written, and which in
Connacht are spoken as though they were written opicedin
and ormácfiúin. But to attempt anything like a complete
list of these anomalies would cause this note to run on to an
alarming extent. I will content myself accordingly with the
few examples:I have given, and only express my regret that
I cannot also lay before the reader the chief variations in
the pronunciation of the language in Ulster and Munster.

NOTE IV.
Attempt to render the Irish sounds tn Roman letters.

I shall write down here, as wellas I can, the sounds of the
first few sentences of Monachar and Manachar, of Soillir
nd §-cor oub, and of the Piper and the Pirca, as pronounced
in West Roscommon and East Mayo. The letters, of course,
are to be pronounced as they would be if the words were
English. The acute accent only means that stress is to be
laid on the accented syllable in pronouncing, and the cir-
cumflex accent that no stress is to be laid on it.

231

It will be noted that the only words in these thtee pieces
taken on chance, whose pronunciation bears only a slight re-
semblance to the spelling, are, beróeso, $eibeao, cun
opiacaib, and gpeim oaingean. Of these, the first is
always pronounced as a monosyllable ; in the second the 6 is
always pronounced as an fr ; in the case of the third, we say
in central Connacht cuipi 146 AA & Oeunsth—‘* make him
do it,” and this 14¢ probably stands as a contraction for
0’ 7146416, at least this is the way it is written in books and
MSS. As to 5peim, it is pronounced grzmm in Connacht,
but grime in Munster, and oaingean has in parts of Con-
nacht an extraordinary pronunciation of its own, as if written
oaision, dime. fOsLaim is also curiously pronounced as
if written redLaim, z.e., it is not pronounced /o-/am or fow-
lam, but f’yo-lamz, just the opposite of eóLar “knowledge,”
which is not pronounced yo-/as, as spelt, but d-/as. Raib is
pronounced pretty much lik 7d04 but in some places it is pro-
nounced like vow, and in others like vev. The pronuncia-
tion of bainc, 'ouic, aif, and beas, cannot be conveyed in
English letters. I am almost ashamed to note that caob-
flan bé and caob-j1or are by some pronounced 2’yee-peer
and ¢yee-feeas day, an almost incredible corruption, which,
however, reminds me that we sometimes meet a 19 in Scotch
Gaelic, in the place of the Irish r.

NOTE V.

On Teig O’ Keane and the Corpse.

I once heard a curious ballad founded on the incidents of
this story from an old man, near Feenagh, in the county

232

Leitrim. I wrot, 3,wn the most of it from memory, but
forgot a good deal of it, and have never since met anyone
who knew either the story or the ballad. However, I acci-
dentally came across a ballad on the same subject in the
handwriting of Nicholas O’Kearney, of the county Louth,
who made a voluminous collection of the Irish songs and
ballads prevalent in the North-East of Ireland, forty or fifty
yearsago. This ballad, as written down by him, coincides
with mine to a great extent, but breaks off apparently in the
middle, as though O’Kearney had not had time to finish
writing the rest of it. I accordingly give his version here,
as far as it goes, and I add the rest from the version which I
heard myself. O’Kearney remarks in English, at the top
of the page, ‘‘ The following fragment is one of our wild
fairy adventures versified . . . . the fragment is pre-
served on account of the singular wildness of the air.” There
are several words in his version which I do not understand.
They may be corruptions, or they may be words peculiar to
the Northern dialect. I rewrite them, however, as I found
them. The following is the fragment. The first twenty-

three verses are from O’Kearney’s version, the rest from
mine :—

Ihave changed nothing in this ballad, except that [ have
repeated a line or two where the metre was defective, owing to
the loss of some of the original words. Thelines or words which
I have interpolated, however, I have enclosed in brackets.
There are a number of curious expressions in this ballad, as
seaLLcam, Lange, ciobad, 50 fdlca, 1 brioé san clár.
pdith-adLacatd, cá tperb an Leice, ain Gop-Licn1b, 541LLeic,
etc., some of which I do not well understand. Seallcatn
seems an irregular plural of seall, a pledge ; Lainse means a
thigh; fioé san cl4r—more properly written ioc san
clLatap—means “anger without softness ;” pdith-adLacs1d
is a ‘‘ burying ground ;” cá cpeib an Leice appears to mean
“what tribe does the stupid clown belong to;” at least, Leice
is given by O'Reilly in the sense of stupid person, and 'ouine
véice a slothful person; but I have never met or heard the
word. Corra-litir is the Scotch Gaelic for the old Irish cha-
racters, and probably this is the meaning of the cop-Uicyb
in the text. TÁLca appears to mean ‘‘ weak,” and ciobad
‘*terror;” but I do not know these words, and will not make
this note longer by discussing any of the others. The second
line of the ballad, as I heard it, ran Adbap easla, ‘a
cause of fear,” instead of Áoban Adeir; ““a cause of joy,”
which last is probably wrong.

239

NOTE VI.
Where the Stories came from.

I learnt the story of Monuchar and Munuchar from an old
ppeslaodin named MAéipcin O Dyiandin in the county
Roscommon, near where it joins Mayo and Sligo. I have
not altered a word or inflexion in it, except the one word
cuaíse, which I have made feminine, as it should be.

My friend, Mr. Larminie. took down exactly as it was
spoken the story of the Three Questions, as told him by
a Donegal peasant. He wrote it down phonetically, and I
fave written it after him in Irish characters, with scarcely
the change ofa word. This accounts for the bad grammar, as
lón pliip ve nórúin and ve theupacdin for pépapaib and
theupiacdnaib, and for such phrases as a5 an feap for a5
An brean. I have not changed them, as I wanted this story
and that of N1aLl O Ceanburd to stand as specimens of the
Northern Irish.

I heard the long story of SoillUfp na 5-cor Dub from an
old gamekeeper, Seumar O h-dipc, in Roscommon, near
where it joins Mayo and Sligo. He had the greatest reper-
toire of stories of any shanachie I ever met. He is, unfor-
tunately, dead, so that I have told the story as well as I
could recollect it, in my own language, since I could not
reproduce the zsissima verba. Is is told, however, nearly
as I heard it, except that I think the incident of the rats
belongs to another tale. It was an interminable story.

The story of the Pfobaipe and the Pica was told by
Marne ni Dainnéao, in Ballinrobe; and that of t:illiam
4n Cnainn by Anna bpecc, from the same place.

240

Oc san mé fia I heard from máincín O Dimanóin, near
Frenchpark (in Irish Oúnsan), in Roscommon.

€Ca4os O C4t4in I heard from an cld man near Feenagh,
in the county Leitrim, whom I met in the town of Mohill.
I did not take down the story at the time, only parts of the
ballad. I do not know his name, and have never seen him
since,

niall O Ceapburd was carefully taken down, word for
word, by Mr. Larminie, in phonetic spelling, from the narra-
tion of a peasant in South Donegal. _I have altered nothing
in it.

mMinic-a-t15 I heard from an old horse-trainer named
O falainn or O Falathain, from DaiLe-an-cobaip tí Con-
éubsip, in Roscommon, near Galway.

Rroipe na clears was told by Muipéso ní FLannaorle,
from Ballinrobe, and Cailleaé na fiacla faoa by DEéli4 ng
bigin, from the same place.

The story of the crows and the RNannta asur ceatpathinsa
I learned from various persons; but the tothranna, with
the exception of the first and last, were given me by Ddthnal
O fdsayics, ze. Mr. Daniel Faherty, National School-
master of Calla, Ballyconneely, Cliften, county Galway, a
fine Irish scholar.

Cailleaca na fiacla fans, Colann gan ceann, Cúine
an Cponndin, and cobatv veipe-an-ooriain, I got, with
many more not here printed from Caobayvo Loinsreaó
bLácac, near Ballinrobe, county Mayo, one of the best sha-
nachies in Connacht, or in Ireland.

NOTES ON THE TEXT.

There are, unfortunately, several typographical errors in
the first thirty or forty pages of this book, and a great omis-
sion of accents. The sheets were printed off, and the type
broken up, before the text received its final revision. I shall
accordingly correct the worst mistakes in these notes, which
I make here to every page. There is one common mistake,
however, which it is not worth while to correct. It is the
misplacing by the printer of the accent when two vowels
come together, as 61, 41, and é&1. The accent, unfortunately,
has in these cases been frequently placed by the printer over
the 1 instead of the 0, the 4, or the e. As of course the 1 is
never accented in these instances, except in one or two
words, all readers will understand the mistake at a glance,
and it is not worth while to’draw attention to each fault sepa-
rately. As these stories were written at different times, I
fear I have not observed a proper unity of orthography
in the case of three or four words, especially in that of
veundsd, CO1T1S, and Goth, which are sometimes written also
‘Deunsth, Torais, and com. As to this last word, I believe
it should be written ¢oth, fo, as it is pronounced. In
America, and in many modern pieces published in Ireland,
it is written co, which is a shorter form, not found in the best
writers. Topats is pronounced ¢esk-shy in Connacht, and
'oeunam has no v sound in the last syllable. I fear I have
not been quite uniform in the aspiration of tap, cyifo, and
04, “two.” In writing, the c of the first two words is
seldom aspirated, but it is aspirated invariably in speaking.
1 may add here that I have invariably appended a ‘nal t to

i7

242

such infinitives as Leisean, feicyin, foTS411 etc., this being
the usage universal all over Ireland, and not peculiar to
Connacht alone.

Page I. &n ran—'““ says the,” also written app An or AA
y4n. Ther seems to be euphonic, and is often omitted in
MSS. Cfao for ca f&o, pronounced caud—how far.

Page 2. For páobas, line 7, and pacar, line 11, read
roban and pacar.

Page 3. Ladsp—the claw of a hound, the split between
two fingers, pronounced Zire,

Page 4. I have throughout aspirated the prepositions ve
and 00, and their compounds when they are preceded by a
word ending either in a vowel or vowel sound. This is the
usage of the best MSS. and speakers. Hence béappar cu
dam, not 04m, but TUZs04p 04m, not 0am.

Page 5. For aon fop read aon t-rop: aon generally
eclipses f.

Page 6. In Munster the bird is a gull, and instead of 'oáb
'oáb says cuipi cné pusd Leip.

Page 7. “nna cómain na m-buaéaillib seems to mean in
Donegal ‘‘ nearly grown up to be boys.” I do not know the
idiom. Tuippeaé ain piabal, “tired walking,” the ain is
unusual, ip feacnad, perhaps equal to Le na feacaine
**to shun him.” For mir, line 6, read mire ; for peacnao
last line but one, reacnad; and for 01mg, o'merg.

Page 8. 'Oa'oam is pronounced dadav in parts of Ireland,
as spelt, but in Connacht dada or daddy. Sgaoilead—to
separate. TÁsáilc = pégbail. 1 ocaoibna coille= about
the wood. Leis Ain = pretend. For pacamaoro, line 2,
read racamaoro. Cao óuise = why.

Page 9. Oeunpard me an GoilL06 = “I will make over
the wood to him.” ‘Oe nórúin =foe poptpaib, Crusrve=
steel.

243

Page 10. Líon Lan eunué 04 curo an énuic = “fill two-
thirds of the hill full of birds.”

Page 11. Sip\ ball — “this now,” ““a moment ago,” also
“cin a moment,” a very common Irish idiom. Opur0 = ofut-
‘oun. For cia b'é, line 5, read cia bé, for this word, mean-
ing ‘* whosoever,” is not a contraction of c1a bud é, but an
old indefinite pronoun, often written 51bé. That it is not a
contraction of c1A bud é, as O'Donovan thinks, is evident
from our saying cia bé ath bic f, not c1a bí ain bic f. Aon
Ceann amhdin, “fone” of them. Ceann is always used in this
sense in Connacht, as rean is in the Highlands of Scotland ;
for instance, bf cettpe caoile aise aSsuT marb re chí
cinn aca a5up ppaoil re amaé an ceann'eile, “he had
four sheep, and he killed three of them, and loosed the other
oneout. Ugread, “would lick,” perhaps for Leagrad,
“would melt.”

Page 12. Soitlir: this word is Anglicised Gill. Perhaps
it is a corruption of the old Irish name S1olla-fora, com-
mon enough a couple of centuries ago. Cup 0’flacaib ain
= “make him,” ‘‘insist on him,” pronounced in Central
Connacht cup 1aé arp. For maga, three lines from end
of page, read magaro.

Page 13. Muipigin = a family ; in Munster, muinean.

Page 14. The raths or forts are called indifferently hác
and lior. In the eastern half of Ireland they are generally
called St, in the western Lior. Sgatad = ‘‘a while,” “a
piece,” used both of time and place. Cop 00 éun sp = ““to
put a stir out of him,” ze, ‘to move.” ’R éir, a contrac-
tion for can éir, ‘‘ after,” but in Central Connacht pro-
nounced 'Léir. fp\omAn, a contraction of fopamAn, appa-
rently another form of conmón, a ‘ whirlwind.”

Page Is. fulLpannais, etc. All these words are onomato-
peic, descriptive of great noise ; jiuaille-buaille, however,

244

is a very common word for a noisy row. Goji Leó = as well
as they, TA ré 4520-T& Cop Liom péin = “you have it as
well as myself.” Tap ait = ‘‘come away ;” in Munster cap
leac. Read sac for sac in line 8, and uile duine in line
9 for uile ouine.

Page 16. Gapbalt is pronounced by a kind of metathesis
vubbal in Connacht. Arp de1piead—‘‘at last.” This is a
common but rather incorrect form in Mid Connacht fa01
'oeine&ó is the form in Galway and Munster, and anna’
'oeineAo is said in Donegal.

Page 17. uain 4c4, so in Munster and parts of Con-
nacht, but in other parts of Connacht nuaip always governs
the subjunctive, and we say nuaip 4 bpuil.

Page 18. For buacaill, line 20, read buaéaill.

Page 19. Odpipib—truly, indeed, in reality; also spelt
'oá piyub, and perhaps a corruption of osp fipe. It is a
very common interjection in conversation, like the English
‘“‘really now!” or the German “in der That.” An odpijub
có tu—‘‘ are you in earnest?” For min, line 25, read mire.

Page 20. Mire mo bannsa1o—“T'll go bail,” a very com-
mon expression ; literally, ‘‘me in my bail.” Dyrpead E—
He was suspended, deposed.

Page 21. First line, for 06 read 06.

Page 22. CA bruilmio: in Central Connacht these two
words are run into one another, and pronounced like how/-
mood. CA bpuil ré is pronounced how! shay.

Page 23. Ppomprdl = prancing. For wile rear, line 4,
read uile feap. Capla is the common form of the plural
in Connacht for capaivl.

Page 24. Oeancré =uatd “he looked from him,” a very
common expression. St4j\4n = headache, vertigo.

Page 25. Oo-fetcyint =invisible ; the classical expression
is 00-faicplonac, but I have never heard it used. For

245

Feicyinc, to see, peices is nearly always used in Connacht,
as it is in the Highlands of Scotland; and where fetcyinc is
used it is pronounced by metathesis as fetreint. Ihave not
written feicedl in any place, though it is the most common
form, for fear Southerners might not understand it. ‘oearic
poillip man v0 fin an rean beas 4 Lath, ;.e., “he looked
tn the direction in which the little man stretched his hand.”

Oap Leip—‘‘he thought to himself.” Oap Uiom-pa=
‘according to my idea.” ‘Mairead, pronounced mzusha.
So róil, the ordinary word for ‘‘ yet” in Roscommon and
North Mayo, but in Galway they invariably say for, as they
doin Munster. {6p is not understood in Roscommon and
Sligo. For oí, line 21, read 01.

Page 30. Coipyugim, perhaps cpoimgim, “I cross” or
consecrate” you. 5olpim a’p carepiaigim dam Féin Tu,
is a common expression when a child or an animal shows
signs of restlessness. f6p4n = hemlock. For éis, line 5,
read éimús ; and for aip fopdn, line 21, read aip fónóán
although many people would say aip Fóhón 245 Feuyi, etc.

Page 31. For oibin, line 2, read obain; for cinédlca,
read cinedlca; though in parts of Ireland this word is pro-
nounced and written cinéalca. For cabaipic, line 18, read
TALAING.

Page 32. For bean-uaral, line 4, read bean-uaral, con
Alp biG, universally used in Connacht for ‘‘at all,” in the
South they say, aif son con.

Page 33. Taipbéan, ‘ show,” is in Galway and Munster
pronounced caipbedn. & 04 piil—her two eyes, 4 04 pull
his two eyes. Smuain is pronounced in most parts of Ireland
as if written pmaoin, sveween ; it is so pronounced in Central
Connacht. Opoc-aignesr = insult.

Page 34. In the emphatic forms of ré and yf, and of all the
other personal pronouns, there seems to be some little uncer-

246

tainty in every part of Ireland astotheirpronunciation. It is
best to leave the emphatic forms unaccented and pronounce
them short. This is the practice of the best speakers. I regret
I have not always observed it inthe text. I should have written
reirean and pire for réirean and fíre. So ofpreac a5 é1pigse
=“‘just rising.” €17\1§ is pronounced azr-ee in Central Con-
nacht, but eye-ree in Galway and Munster.

Page 35. Si\ppeac=a girl. Oeapc Le“ look at.” In
Munster, 'oeanc sip.

Page 36. Oubaine ré Leip ceacc apteac Guise. He said
to him to come in to him,

Page 37. TA 1thmde opm fool pin—‘** I am uneasy about
that.” For póLóf, line 6, read páLór, and for spin, line
II, read Syd1n.

Page 38. Cloroe, ‘a hedge,” is in Central Connacht pro-
nounced c/y not clee. For beipim, line 12, read beimm.
beim and béanpad with the b aspirated mean “give,”
with the b unaspirated they mean ‘‘ bring.”

Page 39. €roip, between, spelt also 1018, is pronounced
eavay\, addir, in Connacht and the Highlands of Scotland.
For berdead, line 18, read bfdead, and for merse, line 6,
read meirge.

Page 40. dn cúir 00 Leiginc paoi 01a— To leave the
matter to God.” Leisean or Leigeant is a more correct
form.

Page 41. Anupiaid, pronounced @ nurry=last year. Sip
fean-Leic laac, this should be ain fean-Leic Léic, but Ihave
never heard Ut so inflected.

Page 42 CLoirtinc, to hear, often cLoirceál in Connacht,
and clor in Munster.

Page 43. Cneuo, pronounced céupd (2.2. c14 Two) in Con-
nacht. Cuip re cluar aip Féin, a common phrase, meaning
‘*he listened intently,” literally, ‘* put an ear on himself.”

247

Page 44, line 23, read bocc for boct.

Page 45. Mr. Flannery writes, 2 Zrofos of fao1 'oeana,
that he is convinced that this word, in the sense of ‘* perceiv-
ing,” is of quite recent origin, and is, in fact, merely a corrup-
tion of Fao1 na Aine, Thus, the phrase Tug cu fao1 v’aipe
é, became corrupted into tug cu foi Deapia é, and, by de-
grees, £401 De4p\4 answered for all persons, so that instead
of saying tug mé 401 m’aipe é, people said, Tuy me fact
roeapid or Deans é. He has written a most learned and in-
teresting disquisition on this subject, but I fear to quote him
at length, lest these notes should extend themselves unduly.
I have not followed his suggestion in writing Aine for veapa,
since the latter has, so to speak, become stereotyped in the
language of the last couple of hundred years, and it is now
too late to change it. Tabaipnt fao1 Dears, in the sense of
‘* perceiving,” is very common in Connacht; but, on the
other hand, in the sense of making a person do a thing (so
common a couple of hundred years ago), it is obsolete. Thus,
tus me Fao! Despia 4 Óeunam, “I madeit be done,” would
no longer be understood in Connacht, nor, I think, in any
other part of Ireland. For pig, line 5, read pig, and for
trideos, line 8, read tyfoeds ; for curse, in last line but two,
and ain, last line but one, read éuici and uim.

Page 47. Si. cusipc= on a visit.” In such simple
phrases as A1h cusipic, aif. meipse, aif. maroin, the ain
does not aspirate, but when it governs a noun before another
in the genitive case it aspirates, as a1p\ bond Luinge, and
when it comes before a verb it eclipses, as aif 5-cuithnit-
a0 06=“‘ when he remembered.” For b’é1§1n, line 8, read
b’éigin, and for h-inSean, line 11, read h-1ng1n.

Page 50. Cuin 1 n-tthal, ‘explain,’ a very common
phrase. Mr. Flannery conjectures that, like faoi oeapa,
this alsois a late corruption, which has found an abiding-

248

place in the language. He has written at much length to
prove that there is no trace of it in the ancient language, and
that it merely stands for cuis ann iúl, ze. cui ann edLar.
I have, however, met it in MSS. at least 200 years old ; and
since it has gained a place for itself like pao1 veapa, I could
not venture to change it, though I have little doubt that in
both those cases, as far as etymology goes, Mr. Flannery is
right. Cuip1in-Gthal 06 é, means ‘explain it to him.” It
is pronounced oo-a/.

Page 51. For ayiam, line 2, and Soillir, line 3, read
ath and Gorllir.

Page 52. AT an nuad, ‘out of the new,” the common
phrase for ‘‘ over again.” fatoe, ‘‘longer,” is pronounced
fwtd-ya in central Connacht. For leór line 1, read
leó 1.

Page 54. Geip a Lon omsia, “their provisions failed them.”
Terp na facarg, “the potatoes failed. Cerp an sunna,
“the gun missed fire.” Te1p an capall as an s-cLorbe;
“the horse baulked at the ditch.” These sentences illus-
trate the meaning of ceip. Line 25, for sice-rean read
A1C1-Te,

Page 56. fRu'o-beas, “a little,” cá me puo-beas ránns
te, “I ama little tired.” It is very common in conversa-
tional use in this sense. Cus; in the last line but one, should
be more rightly pug; but tug and ws, in the sense of
“taking” or ‘* bringing,” are confused with one another
in Connacht.

Page 58. Mo pilid éait, “my Zelee,” z.e. large beauty of
acat. ‘pilid is applied to hares, rabbits, cats, etc., in the
sense of an uncommonly fine one.

Page 59. It is needless to say that ann fo is always pro-
nounced as if written ann red, 2772 sho.

Page 61. Line 2, for Caol bess, read caol bess.

Page 62. Osingmgce. * fastened.” Oaingean is in places

249

pronounced as if written vaigean. Line 3, forceangait, read
eeangail.

Page 63. Deabsd, “haste.” 'Oeipin is the word generally
used in Connacht, and veabad in Munster.

Page 65. manbrpóirs oxic, ‘6a winding-sheet on you,” a
common anathema in Connacht and the Scotch Highlands.
Line 15, for b read bi.

Page 66. As é1p1$e cinnte, ‘‘ becoming sure ;” éis,
used with an adjective, is very common in Connacht, as 45
é1uge Lag, Laroip, oonca, etc.‘ getting weak, strong,
dark,” etc. In Munster this is a5 Lagugao, 45 Laropiugsd,
AS Dopicugsad. $n6d is not much used in Connacht. $no-
tac, pronounced spaitesé (if it be the same word) is used for
‘*business” in central Connacht.

?

Page 68. CcíSeacc, another and very common form of
ceacc, coming.” 1nnpin, or innrinc, is the classical and
southern infinitive of innip; but in Connacht we say inne
TeACT.

Page 73. Leis 00 psi, ‘‘ take a rest ;” perhaps literally,
‘*lay aside your weariness ;” Leis ré 4 sit, “he took a
rest.” Timéroll ceuo, “about a hundred,” also expressed
by fAo1 Tusipm ceo, or bunditTe cev'o. Timéioll is
in central Connacht invariably pronounced hempul.

Page 74. Ni’L aon Apaé 5am sip, the common phrase
for ‘‘ IT have no help for it.” They ‘say neapct in Munster.
¥10041n is pronounced in Roscommon with the a long, f1a-
odin, For feicrin or feicrint, pronounced feipeinc in
Munster, the Connacht dialect, like the Scotch Gaelic, used
feiceal.

A deunsam, “ I am not able to do it.” In Galway and west
Mayo this word is of almost constant occurrence, but there

thography. In Munster they would say inneathail cum
niúbail.

last line, and in two or three subsequent places, tip is eclipsed
by the preposition and article going before it. This is not
a mistake, for it is done by very good writers; ‘but it is better
still never to eclipse the letter sc after a preposition, and where
I have done it in two or three places it has been through a
slip of the pen. I shall not call attention to them. The
people sometimes eclipse it in conversation, and sometimes
do not.

“we will have our revenge.”

for pu read rúo, though in speaking the 'o is generally aspi-
rated. Itis not a very common word, yin being used instead
of it, and úo, as an bean ti is pronounced in central Con-
nacht trol.

Page 129. DA fa0 Fan TADS 1p Lualteve jut An Larain,
“the longer Teig remained the faster the flame ran,” see a
similar idiom, p. 124. Line 2, for ¢Loéaib, read cloéaib ;

common use, maf, pronounced muy in Connacht, is nearly
always used in the sense of ‘‘ for.”

in Connacht, “cutting,” ze, sense. Cpom-rgian agur
seal-pgian = crooked knife and white knife, apparently
some sort of surgical instruments, but I have never heard of
them except here.

Page 136. Sp pan Nall, the article here is superfluous.
In the South they would say ap Niall. TAIZ an Seaton
AS 1onpurve on, = ‘the gate-keeper came to them.”

254

They pronounce 1onpuróe in Connacht as spelt, see, and
say, CÁinis Té S am” tonypurde; but in Donegal they pro-
nounce it like zz#sh, and say, Cáin ré a anny’ onm = He
came to me, or for me. fioppug = “enquire,” in Con-
nacht they always use flapping. dn núma paor péin = the
room £0 himself. Sp5ilésxo = a ““sancepan,” an old English
word, used all over Ireland to this day.

Page 137. DAnpurgeacc = “ more than enough.”

AMSE FAO] AN Alpi5100 = they fell out about the money.
AS ulomáine A Cova eaLllaig = driving his share of cattle ;
z.é., his cattle. A very common idiom in Irish and Scotch
Gaelic. Though I have inflected curo in the genitive, I
must confess that in speaking we seldom inflect it, and say,
AS tlomAine éuro esllarg.

Page 139. ip piubal = “gone off,” '“gone away.”
Ssainc Té 'níor ain ppiléan uipse = “He called down for
a skillet of water.” For ypiléro read ygiléao, and for
beuproto, line 18, read béanpard.

Page 140. Sileagap apparently means pyiaipesc, 4;.6.,
“little pieces.” Oeunath peata= “running.” Reata is
the gen. of jut.

Page 141. faillige = ‘‘ delay,” or “neglect.” Line 3,
for mAgipoip, read mAigipcip.

Page 142. Conncáir = “ counted out.” OírneáLaman—
we differed, an English word. forgalcaé = “ generous,”
literally, “‘open.” Tape Leip an nollag = “round by the
churchyard.” oilig is generally pronounced pretlig in Con-
nacht.

Page 143. 'S soipid & núbalrar cu so— “It’s short
you'll be walking till,” etc. This form of the verb,
though properly only a relative form, is much in use

255

even where, as here, it has no relative sense. AS
ceaóc 1 ocín Alf, apparently means, ‘subsisting com-
fortably on it.” fuatp mire an c-4t, qc. The common
formula for ending their tales amongst professed shanachies,
zc. ““[ only got the ford, while they found the stepping-
stones, and yet they were drowned while I escaped.” It
would be interesting to know how this came to be the stereo-
typed form of tale-ending.

Page 145. The cuatle-copypaic [is a word that I have
often heard occurring in Irish stories, but it is obsolete
amongst the people. It seems to mean knocker of a door,
the bor-épann, as it is called in the MSS. cuaille, is a pole,
but I have no idea of what coppaic is.

Page 147. S5 cup sperm’ amac, more correctly speama,
but in speaking Speim is not usually so inflected. Pice =a
“pitch fork.” Line 12, for read 6.

Page 150. Sip ceupma = “keeping their term.” Cuaid

ing part. Sip slmyif\= ‘on service.” Oc hón í 6, or ocon

her.

Page 155. Fanatic tu péin = * mind yourself,” ‘look out,”
a very common phrase in parts of Connacht. Nhugaid
leac = “go along,” “ get out,” perhaps a corruption of

256

éuige Leac, ;.e., to him with you, éuige perhaps standing for
cum An o1aball.

Page 157. Doige = “softness,” “remission.” ‘Nusip Lu-
aldtesyi, qc. = when the two young people are betrothed.
Splac is still common, but Luard in the sense of betrothal
is nearly obsolete ; cp however, the song of the Caipioeaé

Dpeunpa or bhanaih lea land. So nofceap é = “ untiy
he be condemned,” or ‘‘ destroyed.”

Page 158. 'Oeimear — Scissors. feap an esoapiysdin ==
**the peace-maker.”’ This is the same in sense as the Scotch
proverb, ‘the redder’s lick is the worst.” It means literally
‘“‘ whoever escapes or doesn’t escape, the man who tries to
make peace doesn’t escape.”

Page 159. Tothpanns, the ordinary, but not classical,
plural of comar, pronounced £oo-as = ““a riddle.”

Page 160. fé1liocdn = butterfly. Oip ain o BEUIL bed,
qc. Ihave met this popular saying inan old MS.; but the
last line ran, ó nac bfuil, as nesé oul uard. As ward is
pronounced wya in Connacht, and would not rhyme well with
cy\us1d, some local bard apparently changed the last line,
and the verse has been so perpetuated. This is a good ex-
ample of how and why the Ossianic ballads and other old
poems undergo change.

Page 161. Mo éuro should, grammatically speaking, he
mo 6004; but this is not usual. pdipin peangdn = ant-
hill. on UA athdin is the universal popular expression for

257

“é:one day,” “once of a time,” the Lá n-aon of the MSS.
As Luars ann vo To0248, dc = “ swinging in your (2.¢., a)

not in conversation. 1 bro1gre, qc., pronounced @ wishka =
“within” a couple of feet. Gaj-andpo = head over heels.
Cuip flor Alp Ouine is not “ acquaint a person,” but “ send
fora person.” Dud é, or bud hé—b'é, Mul, in proper
names, is a corruption of maol, the bald-headed, or shaven
one, or servant.

Page 171. In good Irish MSS., when one substantive com-
ing beforeanother is feminine, as beiptcoming before mac, the
second substantive is aspirated as in beipt mac, just as though
mac were an adjective made to agree with the feminine sub-
stantive preceding it. This rule, which was pointed out to me
by Mr. Flannery, is a very artificial one, however, and to the
best of my observation, not regarded in conversation. foc Le
ouine = the Irish idiom for “pay oa person.” As an teac,

more correctly 45 an cig, which is the dative of ceac in the
best MSS. ; but this is not now observed in Connacht.

Page 172. Mallacc na ceicne pin T1C10, more grammati-
cally na ceicne Brean sip ficio. Ido not know the origin
of this’strange curse. 1ngafi'0’on ceac, see note on preced-
ing page, 1ngap00, 1!naice Le, Lath Le, abposar co, all
mean ‘near to.”

Page 175. Tearcurseann uaim = “I want.” Observe

18

258

the incorrect use of the consuetudinal tense already noticed.
The initial c of ceapculg is often aspirated in conversation.
tneirean = “as well,” or ‘‘along with that,” apparently
equal to Leip yin, and a survival of the time when Le was
spelt rn some hundreds of years ago. Tarpipypin = offer ;
roiléan cellar,

Page 176. Gáims ré ag An brean boéc; this as in the
sense of Cum is commonfin Connacht, but it is barbarous.

Page 177. The o in folath (as in boy, sloine, forse,
cyoicionn, etc.) is pronounced like in central Connacht.
So mbud Leip é = sun leir i.

Page 178. Colua or colusd = the outside place in a bed
which holds two. I do not know the orthography, and have
never met the word in MSS. €woctpomdn, properly a
“bladder,” but used for a ‘‘ football?” from euochom =
“light.” 5 curveaécain == * helping.”

Page 180. Teun = “ strong,” a word very nearly obsolete
in Connacht, though occasionally surviving in stories, like Uia1g
a physician, and many otherwise half-forgotten expressions,
Ni mop owic é — “it is necessary for you.” An cé nac
bfuil Laroip ni món 06 bec Slic = ‘‘ he who is not strong
must be cunning.” It seems to be a corruption of ni fuldin,
which is the classical and also the Munster form. Cia man-
Foo mé, in Connacht generally corrupted into thapdéad =
“ who would kill me?” feiceál, Connacht form of reicyinc

or reircinc.

Page 181. Sy so bnác— “ off and away with him,” lite-
rally ‘‘out for ever with him,” a great phrase with story-
tellers, generally used when the subject of it is not to appear
on the scene any more. It indicates both haste and terror.
Innpeact = 1nnnnc,

Page 182. Cá 'r asam, the universal contraction for cá 4
flor, or cá flor asam, z.e, I have zfs knowledge, z.e., I
know it. Dopdntar = “a warrant.”

Page 183. 'Ouine moy\ = great man (socially) ; na 'osotne
móna = the gentry.

Page 184. In the phrase, 45 pdgail bárr, the b is always
aspirated. This aspiration of a substantive in the gen. case
after a participle is not usual except in this one instance.

Page 185. fa01 Ceann uaine = “within an hour.” Canna-
ro4in = *fatin can.” Scd4n, meaning “tin,” is nearly ob-
solete. Seamayi-thulpe is explained in the dictionaries as the
pimpernel, anagallis femina, but I have always understood
it to mean the four-leaved shamrock, which, as all the world
knows, possesses magical properties. PAtptin=a “ pat-
tern,” festival in honour of a patron saint.

Page 187. CL4n-et'0aIn = forehead. UDelLénp is a corrup-
tion of Dalón, the Fomorian chief, of the Evil Eye. See
the story of “The: Children of Tuireann.” It is curious
meeting him again in a folk-lore tale like this. TiméioLL
onnaib — “ round about you.”

Page 188. Le rúl so = ‘‘in the hope that.” Ciands5 =
a farthing,” or ‘* mite.”

in dictionaries, but coming perhaps from rion =storm, or
weather.

thought to catch hold of him.” bor no anall, or bor no
coll = ‘on this side or that,” ** here or there.”

Page 193. The usual plural of eun, a bird, in Connacht,
is not eunlait, but eunaéa. An éleit= the roof, the
wattling.

Page 194. Deipie-4n-Oothain, being a proper name, ought
to have the initial consonant aspirated when in the gen, case
after cobap ; but as the 0 is not aspirated in speaking, it
would appear that Ueipie-an-Ootnatn is in the nominative in

260

apposition to cobap. Ihave accordingly written it as it is
spoken, coban 'Oeine-an-Domain, not Oeipie-an-Oothain.
04 Tépulgeacc = searching for it.

Page 196. C1azan Gaol brualp cu = “how did you get ;”
the ruain is eclipsed by 6, because the full form would be cia
An €a01 Ann & bpuain cu, and the relative a preceded by a
preposition eclipses averb. Seipie = ““a supper.” 'O'rás mé
an baile = “I left home.” Surdeacén = “a seat.”

Page 197. Luéo-piibail should be lLuco-núbaLca, the
gen. of verbal nouns being the same as their past participle.
This is not, however, observed in Scotch Gaelic, where the
“marriage ring,” for instance, would be práinne an poraro,
not an porta, asin Irish. I have let Luco-múbail, stand,
however, because so pronounced. Mi paib_bonn cleite
amulg, etc. ; I do not exactly understand this.

Page 198. Ti] Gewo ; crá generally aspirates cewo, but
nothing else. Thus we say, cm rip, not crú FI. Fo 0t4-
5410 cu, or 50 0cásonn cu, a usual form of the verb cg.
Listpéro is not much used for a ‘‘ ball” in the northern
half of Ireland ; people generally say bálla !

Page 199. Tuipiling = “descend,” is nearly obsolete in
Connacht.

Page 200. Lúb-ceann = ‘ bow,” a curious word ; bósa is
generally used. unnann gat seup\= ‘a sheaf of sharp
arrows.”

glainne in Connacht.

is not in dictionaries, and 1 have never heard it except
here.

pronounced like s¢h-yuch = ‘‘a vessel.” ‘O’eiteaé= to
refuse.

pronounced as if spelt ’p4n, and An t-apién is pronounced
an chón. !

Page 206. 04 ocman = “ two-thirds.”

Page 207. Tualjim = “' an opinion,” ‘a supposition.”

Page 209. eitic = “‘a fawn.” Cloldeatn, ‘fa sword,”
