:Note: 4.To be grammatically correct, this should read, “ri a thaobh,” “with his side,” but often the possessive article “a” is dropped and the possession is expressed, as in this case, simply with the lenition of the following word (for the masculine possessive) or lack thereof (for feminine.)

:If we would all be courteous and generous to all the people that we meet with in our daily lives, it’s likely that we would make a small change in the vexatious world that is with us today.
:Note: 13.Normally the conditional of “be” in the first person plural conjugates: “bitheamaid.” I can only assume the presence of “nam” beforehand prevents it from doing so here.

:Note: 15.Seems to be part of a compound interrogative with “dè.” “Rudan” otherwise should be a genitive, but it is a simple nominative plural. 16.This should be genitive because it follows “airson,” but its form is that of a genitive. 17.Not sure if this is translated correctly. Dwelly has no “coireig” or “coireag,” but gives “coire” as “fault, charge, offence, tresspass.” The ending –e/ag is frequently used as a diminutive, so this could be mean “small offenses.” In any case, its form fits that of a dative for either a masculine or feminine noun, which is what ought to follow a simple preposition such as “air.”

:But I myself was thinking about learning, and how it can alter our feelings.
:Note: 18.This should be “a’ smaoineachadh,” “at thinking,” but the isolated sound [a] is often swallowed in Gaelic. 19.Refers to “na h-ealain,” indicating that “na h-ealain” is plural, which would make sense except that we have also seen that it is genitive, and plural genitive takes a different form. 20.This might be genitive—the direct object of a progressive verb should always be genitive—although the form appears to be nominative.

:Note: 10.This originally said “thrioblaid” but after listening to the recording several times I am confident she says “thrioblad.” This is confusing, first of all because the root form of the word according to Dwelly is “trioblaid”—there should be no un-slenderized form. 11.

:Note: 15.Seems to be part of a compound interrogative with “dè.” “Rudan” otherwise should be a genitive, but it is a simple nominative plural. 16.This should be genitive because it follows “airson,” but its form is that of a genitive. 17.Not sure if this is translated correctly. Dwelly has no “coireig” or “coireag,” but gives “coire” as “fault, charge, offence, tresspass.” The ending –e/ag is frequently used as a diminutive, so this could be mean “small offenses.” In any case, its form fits that of a dative for either a masculine or feminine noun, which is what ought to follow a simple preposition such as “air.”

:Note: 18.This should be “a’ smaoineachadh,” “at thinking,” but the isolated sound [a] is often swallowed in Gaelic. 19.Refers to “na h-ealain,” indicating that “na h-ealain” is plural, which would make sense except that we have also seen that it is genitive, and plural genitive takes a different form. 20.This might be genitive—the direct object of a progressive verb should always be genitive—although the form appears to be nominative.

:What sort of things will people do for the chance [lit. value] of escaping the trouble of small offenses and….
:Note: 15.Seems to be part of a compound interrogative with “dè.” “Rudan” otherwise should be a genitive, but it is a simple nominative plural. 16.This should be genitive because it follows “airson,” but its form is that of a genitive. 17.Not sure if this is translated correctly. Dwelly has no “coireig” or “coireag,” but gives “coire” as “fault, charge, offence, tresspass.” The ending –e/ag is frequently used as a diminutive, so this could be mean “small offenses.” In any case, its form fits that of a dative for either a masculine or feminine noun, which is what ought to follow a simple preposition such as “air.”

:Note: 18.This should be “a’ smaoineachadh,” “at thinking,” but the isolated sound [a] is often swallowed in Gaelic. 19.Refers to “na h-ealain,” indicating that “na h-ealain” is plural, which would make sense except that we have also seen that it is genitive, and plural genitive takes a different form. 20.This might be genitive—the direct object of a progressive verb should always be genitive—although the form appears to be nominative.

:Note: 10.This originally said “thrioblaid” but after listening to the recording several times I am confident she says “thrioblad.” This is confusing, first of all because the root form of the word according to Dwelly is “trioblaid”—there should be no un-slenderized form. 11.

:What sort of things will people do for the chance [lit. value] of escaping the trouble of small offenses and….
:Note: 15.Seems to be part of a compound interrogative with “dè.” “Rudan” otherwise should be a genitive, but it is a simple nominative plural. 16.This should be genitive because it follows “airson,” but its form is that of a genitive. 17.Not sure if this is translated correctly. Dwelly has no “coireig” or “coireag,” but gives “coire” as “fault, charge, offence, tresspass.” The ending –e/ag is frequently used as a diminutive, so this could be mean “small offenses.” In any case, its form fits that of a dative for either a masculine or feminine noun, which is what ought to follow a simple preposition such as “air.”

:Note: 18.This should be “a’ smaoineachadh,” “at thinking,” but the isolated sound [a] is often swallowed in Gaelic. 19.Refers to “na h-ealain,” indicating that “na h-ealain” is plural, which would make sense except that we have also seen that it is genitive, and plural genitive takes a different form. 20.This might be genitive—the direct object of a progressive verb should always be genitive—although the form appears to be nominative.

:Note: 15.Seems to be part of a compound interrogative with “dè.” “Rudan” otherwise should be a genitive, but it is a simple nominative plural. 16.This should be genitive because it follows “airson,” but its form is that of a genitive. 17.Not sure if this is translated correctly. Dwelly has no “coireig” or “coireag,” but gives “coire” as “fault, charge, offence, tresspass.” The ending –e/ag is frequently used as a diminutive, so this could be mean “small offenses.” In any case, its form fits that of a dative for either a masculine or feminine noun, which is what ought to follow a simple preposition such as “air.”

:But I myself was thinking about learning, and how it can alter our feelings.
:Note: 18.This should be “a’ smaoineachadh,” “at thinking,” but the isolated sound [a] is often swallowed in Gaelic. 19.Refers to “na h-ealain,” indicating that “na h-ealain” is plural, which would make sense except that we have also seen that it is genitive, and plural genitive takes a different form. 20.This might be genitive—the direct object of a progressive verb should always be genitive—although the form appears to be nominative.

:To be sure, there are two sides to every coin (lit. “there are two sides on the shilling”) and the picture may make you misguided or ignorant.
:Note: 22.These two both seem to be variants on “mi-chomhairlich“ (miscounsel) and “an-fhiosrach” (ignorant.) Neither of the two actual words above, in their exact form, may be found in Dwelly.

:Note: 10.This originally said “thrioblaid” but after listening to the recording several times I am confident she says “thrioblad.” This is confusing, first of all because the root form of the word according to Dwelly is “trioblaid”—there should be no un-slenderized form. 11.

:What sort of things will people do for the chance [lit. value] of escaping the trouble of small offenses and….
:Note: 15.Seems to be part of a compound interrogative with “dè.” “Rudan” otherwise should be a genitive, but it is a simple nominative plural. 16.This should be genitive because it follows “airson,” but its form is that of a genitive. 17.Not sure if this is translated correctly. Dwelly has no “coireig” or “coireag,” but gives “coire” as “fault, charge, offence, tresspass.” The ending –e/ag is frequently used as a diminutive, so this could be mean “small offenses.” In any case, its form fits that of a dative for either a masculine or feminine noun, which is what ought to follow a simple preposition such as “air.”

:Note: 18.This should be “a’ smaoineachadh,” “at thinking,” but the isolated sound [a] is often swallowed in Gaelic. 19.Refers to “na h-ealain,” indicating that “na h-ealain” is plural, which would make sense except that we have also seen that it is genitive, and plural genitive takes a different form. 20.This might be genitive—the direct object of a progressive verb should always be genitive—although the form appears to be nominative.

:Note: 27.I believe this should be “no,” meaning “or,” and I have translated it as such in the third line. 28.Dwelly gives “sgoilear” as “scholar,” but no “sgoilearadh,” so I have hesitantly translated it as “school” despite this normally being “sgoil.”

:Note: 15.Seems to be part of a compound interrogative with “dè.” “Rudan” otherwise should be a genitive, but it is a simple nominative plural. 16.This should be genitive because it follows “airson,” but its form is that of a genitive. 17.Not sure if this is translated correctly. Dwelly has no “coireig” or “coireag,” but gives “coire” as “fault, charge, offence, tresspass.” The ending –e/ag is frequently used as a diminutive, so this could be mean “small offenses.” In any case, its form fits that of a dative for either a masculine or feminine noun, which is what ought to follow a simple preposition such as “air.”

:Note: 18.This should be “a’ smaoineachadh,” “at thinking,” but the isolated sound [a] is often swallowed in Gaelic. 19.Refers to “na h-ealain,” indicating that “na h-ealain” is plural, which would make sense except that we have also seen that it is genitive, and plural genitive takes a different form. 20.This might be genitive—the direct object of a progressive verb should always be genitive—although the form appears to be nominative.

:To be sure, there are two sides to every coin (lit. “there are two sides on the shilling”) and the picture may make you misguided or ignorant.
:Note: 22.These two both seem to be variants on “mi-chomhairlich“ (miscounsel) and “an-fhiosrach” (ignorant.) Neither of the two actual words above, in their exact form, may be found in Dwelly.

:Note: 10.This originally said “thrioblaid” but after listening to the recording several times I am confident she says “thrioblad.” This is confusing, first of all because the root form of the word according to Dwelly is “trioblaid”—there should be no un-slenderized form. 11.

:Note: 15.Seems to be part of a compound interrogative with “dè.” “Rudan” otherwise should be a genitive, but it is a simple nominative plural. 16.This should be genitive because it follows “airson,” but its form is that of a genitive. 17.Not sure if this is translated correctly. Dwelly has no “coireig” or “coireag,” but gives “coire” as “fault, charge, offence, tresspass.” The ending –e/ag is frequently used as a diminutive, so this could be mean “small offenses.” In any case, its form fits that of a dative for either a masculine or feminine noun, which is what ought to follow a simple preposition such as “air.”

:Note: 18.This should be “a’ smaoineachadh,” “at thinking,” but the isolated sound [a] is often swallowed in Gaelic. 19.Refers to “na h-ealain,” indicating that “na h-ealain” is plural, which would make sense except that we have also seen that it is genitive, and plural genitive takes a different form. 20.This might be genitive—the direct object of a progressive verb should always be genitive—although the form appears to be nominative.

:There was a small well at the side of the house but after two or three days it would dry up and we had to walk about a quarter-mile to another well. (the school’s well, as we had it on,) and it was to me that that work fell.
:Note: 27.I believe this should be “no,” meaning “or,” and I have translated it as such in the third line. 28.Dwelly gives “sgoilear” as “scholar,” but no “sgoilearadh,” so I have hesitantly translated it as “school” despite this normally being “sgoil.”

:Note: 15.Seems to be part of a compound interrogative with “dè.” “Rudan” otherwise should be a genitive, but it is a simple nominative plural. 16.This should be genitive because it follows “airson,” but its form is that of a genitive. 17.Not sure if this is translated correctly. Dwelly has no “coireig” or “coireag,” but gives “coire” as “fault, charge, offence, tresspass.” The ending –e/ag is frequently used as a diminutive, so this could be mean “small offenses.” In any case, its form fits that of a dative for either a masculine or feminine noun, which is what ought to follow a simple preposition such as “air.”

:Note: 22.These two both seem to be variants on “mi-chomhairlich“ (miscounsel) and “an-fhiosrach” (ignorant.) Neither of the two actual words above, in their exact form, may be found in Dwelly.

:You would think that there was plenty written and said about love like that.
:Note: 9.Meaning of this word is unknown. It could concievably be the preposition “thar,” which means “yonder” or “beyond,” carrying an idiomatic meaning similar “like all that we’ve already discussed.” But this is really just a guess.

:Note: 10.This originally said “thrioblaid” but after listening to the recording several times I am confident she says “thrioblad.” This is confusing, first of all because the root form of the word according to Dwelly is “trioblaid”—there should be no un-slenderized form. 11.

:What sort of things will people do for the chance [lit. value] of escaping the trouble of small offenses and….
:Note: 15.Seems to be part of a compound interrogative with “dè.” “Rudan” otherwise should be a genitive, but it is a simple nominative plural. 16.This should be genitive because it follows “airson,” but its form is that of a genitive. 17.Not sure if this is translated correctly. Dwelly has no “coireig” or “coireag,” but gives “coire” as “fault, charge, offence, tresspass.” The ending –e/ag is frequently used as a diminutive, so this could be mean “small offenses.” In any case, its form fits that of a dative for either a masculine or feminine noun, which is what ought to follow a simple preposition such as “air.”

:Note: 18.This should be “a’ smaoineachadh,” “at thinking,” but the isolated sound [a] is often swallowed in Gaelic. 19.Refers to “na h-ealain,” indicating that “na h-ealain” is plural, which would make sense except that we have also seen that it is genitive, and plural genitive takes a different form. 20.This might be genitive—the direct object of a progressive verb should always be genitive—although the form appears to be nominative.

:Note: 15.Seems to be part of a compound interrogative with “dè.” “Rudan” otherwise should be a genitive, but it is a simple nominative plural. 16.This should be genitive because it follows “airson,” but its form is that of a genitive. 17.Not sure if this is translated correctly. Dwelly has no “coireig” or “coireag,” but gives “coire” as “fault, charge, offence, tresspass.” The ending –e/ag is frequently used as a diminutive, so this could be mean “small offenses.” In any case, its form fits that of a dative for either a masculine or feminine noun, which is what ought to follow a simple preposition such as “air.”

:Note: 23.This is another difficult case—according to standard rules, “boidheachd” should be genitive, but the form of the article here, “am,” is nominative.

:You would think that there was plenty written and said about love like that.
:Note: 9.Meaning of this word is unknown. It could concievably be the preposition “thar,” which means “yonder” or “beyond,” carrying an idiomatic meaning similar “like all that we’ve already discussed.” But this is really just a guess.

:Note: 10.This originally said “thrioblaid” but after listening to the recording several times I am confident she says “thrioblad.” This is confusing, first of all because the root form of the word according to Dwelly is “trioblaid”—there should be no un-slenderized form. 11.

:Note: 15.Seems to be part of a compound interrogative with “dè.” “Rudan” otherwise should be a genitive, but it is a simple nominative plural. 16.This should be genitive because it follows “airson,” but its form is that of a genitive. 17.Not sure if this is translated correctly. Dwelly has no “coireig” or “coireag,” but gives “coire” as “fault, charge, offence, tresspass.” The ending –e/ag is frequently used as a diminutive, so this could be mean “small offenses.” In any case, its form fits that of a dative for either a masculine or feminine noun, which is what ought to follow a simple preposition such as “air.”

:Note: 18.This should be “a’ smaoineachadh,” “at thinking,” but the isolated sound [a] is often swallowed in Gaelic. 19.Refers to “na h-ealain,” indicating that “na h-ealain” is plural, which would make sense except that we have also seen that it is genitive, and plural genitive takes a different form. 20.This might be genitive—the direct object of a progressive verb should always be genitive—although the form appears to be nominative.

:Note: 1.Cop is present tense unless otherwise stated. 2.This is of interest since “againn” supposedly means “at.1p,” while “agam” is “at.1s,” but here “againn” clearly used in the sense of “at.1s.” This could be simply a phonological phenomenon, a variation between /m/ and /n/.

:Note: 15.Seems to be part of a compound interrogative with “dè.” “Rudan” otherwise should be a genitive, but it is a simple nominative plural. 16.This should be genitive because it follows “airson,” but its form is that of a genitive. 17.Not sure if this is translated correctly. Dwelly has no “coireig” or “coireag,” but gives “coire” as “fault, charge, offence, tresspass.” The ending –e/ag is frequently used as a diminutive, so this could be mean “small offenses.” In any case, its form fits that of a dative for either a masculine or feminine noun, which is what ought to follow a simple preposition such as “air.”

:Note: 18.This should be “a’ smaoineachadh,” “at thinking,” but the isolated sound [a] is often swallowed in Gaelic. 19.Refers to “na h-ealain,” indicating that “na h-ealain” is plural, which would make sense except that we have also seen that it is genitive, and plural genitive takes a different form. 20.This might be genitive—the direct object of a progressive verb should always be genitive—although the form appears to be nominative.

:Note: 10.This originally said “thrioblaid” but after listening to the recording several times I am confident she says “thrioblad.” This is confusing, first of all because the root form of the word according to Dwelly is “trioblaid”—there should be no un-slenderized form. 11.

:What sort of things will people do for the chance [lit. value] of escaping the trouble of small offenses and….
:Note: 15.Seems to be part of a compound interrogative with “dè.” “Rudan” otherwise should be a genitive, but it is a simple nominative plural. 16.This should be genitive because it follows “airson,” but its form is that of a genitive. 17.Not sure if this is translated correctly. Dwelly has no “coireig” or “coireag,” but gives “coire” as “fault, charge, offence, tresspass.” The ending –e/ag is frequently used as a diminutive, so this could be mean “small offenses.” In any case, its form fits that of a dative for either a masculine or feminine noun, which is what ought to follow a simple preposition such as “air.”

:Note: 18.This should be “a’ smaoineachadh,” “at thinking,” but the isolated sound [a] is often swallowed in Gaelic. 19.Refers to “na h-ealain,” indicating that “na h-ealain” is plural, which would make sense except that we have also seen that it is genitive, and plural genitive takes a different form. 20.This might be genitive—the direct object of a progressive verb should always be genitive—although the form appears to be nominative.

:Note: 1.Cop is present tense unless otherwise stated. 2.This is of interest since “againn” supposedly means “at.1p,” while “agam” is “at.1s,” but here “againn” clearly used in the sense of “at.1s.” This could be simply a phonological phenomenon, a variation between /m/ and /n/.

:Note: 4.To be grammatically correct, this should read, “ri a thaobh,” “with his side,” but often the possessive article “a” is dropped and the possession is expressed, as in this case, simply with the lenition of the following word (for the masculine possessive) or lack thereof (for feminine.)

:Note: 10.This originally said “thrioblaid” but after listening to the recording several times I am confident she says “thrioblad.” This is confusing, first of all because the root form of the word according to Dwelly is “trioblaid”—there should be no un-slenderized form. 11.

:Note: 15.Seems to be part of a compound interrogative with “dè.” “Rudan” otherwise should be a genitive, but it is a simple nominative plural. 16.This should be genitive because it follows “airson,” but its form is that of a genitive. 17.Not sure if this is translated correctly. Dwelly has no “coireig” or “coireag,” but gives “coire” as “fault, charge, offence, tresspass.” The ending –e/ag is frequently used as a diminutive, so this could be mean “small offenses.” In any case, its form fits that of a dative for either a masculine or feminine noun, which is what ought to follow a simple preposition such as “air.”

:Note: 18.This should be “a’ smaoineachadh,” “at thinking,” but the isolated sound [a] is often swallowed in Gaelic. 19.Refers to “na h-ealain,” indicating that “na h-ealain” is plural, which would make sense except that we have also seen that it is genitive, and plural genitive takes a different form. 20.This might be genitive—the direct object of a progressive verb should always be genitive—although the form appears to be nominative.

:I myself would imagine that we ought to be thinking more about love and what is means in the lives of us ourselves.
:Note: 12.Originally reads “gaol” but I’m pretty sure it should be “gaoil” here because “mu dheidhinn” governs the genitive case.

:If we would all be courteous and generous to all the people that we meet with in our daily lives, it’s likely that we would make a small change in the vexatious world that is with us today.
:Note: 13.Normally the conditional of “be” in the first person plural conjugates: “bitheamaid.” I can only assume the presence of “nam” beforehand prevents it from doing so here.

==Na h-Ealain==

|Na

|-

:on knowledge
:Note: 14.Case unknown. The article form “na –h” indicates the noun, which is feminine, should be either plural nominative or genitive singular, but the noun form itself is singular nominative. Later on in the passage, the same noun and same form are used after a compound preposition, which requires a genitive. Gaelic nouns may change gender from dialect to dialect, but even if this noun were used as a masculine, the construction would not make sense.

:What sort of things will people do for the chance [lit. value] of escaping the trouble of small offenses and….
:Note: 15.Seems to be part of a compound interrogative with “dè.” “Rudan” otherwise should be a genitive, but it is a simple nominative plural. 16.This should be genitive because it follows “airson,” but its form is that of a genitive. 17.Not sure if this is translated correctly. Dwelly has no “coireig” or “coireag,” but gives “coire” as “fault, charge, offence, tresspass.” The ending –e/ag is frequently used as a diminutive, so this could be mean “small offenses.” In any case, its form fits that of a dative for either a masculine or feminine noun, which is what ought to follow a simple preposition such as “air.”

:But I myself was thinking about learning, and how it can alter our feelings.
:Note: 18.This should be “a’ smaoineachadh,” “at thinking,” but the isolated sound [a] is often swallowed in Gaelic. 19.Refers to “na h-ealain,” indicating that “na h-ealain” is plural, which would make sense except that we have also seen that it is genitive, and plural genitive takes a different form. 20.This might be genitive—the direct object of a progressive verb should always be genitive—although the form appears to be nominative.

:To be sure, there are two sides to every coin (lit. “there are two sides on the shilling”) and the picture may make you misguided or ignorant.

:Although I am actually from the islands, I have actually been living in America in Arizona in the desert for many years now.
:Note: 1.Cop is present tense unless otherwise stated. 2.This is of interest since “againn” supposedly means “at.1p,” while “agam” is “at.1s,” but here “againn” clearly used in the sense of “at.1s.” This could be simply a phonological phenomenon, a variation between /m/ and /n/.

:Note: 4.To be grammatically correct, this should read, “ri a thaobh,” “with his side,” but often the possessive article “a” is dropped and the possession is expressed, as in this case, simply with the lenition of the following word (for the masculine possessive) or lack thereof (for feminine.)

:Note: 10.This originally said “thrioblaid” but after listening to the recording several times I am confident she says “thrioblad.” This is confusing, first of all because the root form of the word according to Dwelly is “trioblaid”—there should be no un-slenderized form. 11.

:Note: 14.Case unknown. The article form “na –h” indicates the noun, which is feminine, should be either plural nominative or genitive singular, but the noun form itself is singular nominative. Later on in the passage, the same noun and same form are used after a compound preposition, which requires a genitive. Gaelic nouns may change gender from dialect to dialect, but even if this noun were used as a masculine, the construction would not make sense.

:Note: 15.Seems to be part of a compound interrogative with “dè.” “Rudan” otherwise should be a genitive, but it is a simple nominative plural. 16.This should be genitive because it follows “airson,” but its form is that of a genitive. 17.Not sure if this is translated correctly. Dwelly has no “coireig” or “coireag,” but gives “coire” as “fault, charge, offence, tresspass.” The ending –e/ag is frequently used as a diminutive, so this could be mean “small offenses.” In any case, its form fits that of a dative for either a masculine or feminine noun, which is what ought to follow a simple preposition such as “air.”

:Note: 18.This should be “a’ smaoineachadh,” “at thinking,” but the isolated sound [a] is often swallowed in Gaelic. 19.Refers to “na h-ealain,” indicating that “na h-ealain” is plural, which would make sense except that we have also seen that it is genitive, and plural genitive takes a different form. 20.This might be genitive—the direct object of a progressive verb should always be genitive—although the form appears to be nominative.

:If we would all be courteous and generous to all the people that we meet with in our daily lives, it’s likely that we would make a small change in the vexatious world that is with us today.
:Note: 13.Normally the conditional of “be” in the first person plural conjugates: “bitheamaid.” I can only assume the presence of “nam” beforehand prevents it from doing so here.

:on knowledge
:Note: 14.Case unknown. The article form “na –h” indicates the noun, which is feminine, should be either plural nominative or genitive singular, but the noun form itself is singular nominative. Later on in the passage, the same noun and same form are used after a compound preposition, which requires a genitive. Gaelic nouns may change gender from dialect to dialect, but even if this noun were used as a masculine, the construction would not make sense.

:Note: 15.Seems to be part of a compound interrogative with “dè.” “Rudan” otherwise should be a genitive, but it is a simple nominative plural. 16.This should be genitive because it follows “airson,” but its form is that of a genitive. 17.Not sure if this is translated correctly. Dwelly has no “coireig” or “coireag,” but gives “coire” as “fault, charge, offence, tresspass.” The ending –e/ag is frequently used as a diminutive, so this could be mean “small offenses.” In any case, its form fits that of a dative for either a masculine or feminine noun, which is what ought to follow a simple preposition such as “air.”

:Note: 18.This should be “a’ smaoineachadh,” “at thinking,” but the isolated sound [a] is often swallowed in Gaelic. 19.Refers to “na h-ealain,” indicating that “na h-ealain” is plural, which would make sense except that we have also seen that it is genitive, and plural genitive takes a different form. 20.This might be genitive—the direct object of a progressive verb should always be genitive—although the form appears to be nominative.

:Note: 1.Cop is present tense unless otherwise stated. 2.This is of interest since “againn” supposedly means “at.1p,” while “agam” is “at.1s,” but here “againn” clearly used in the sense of “at.1s.” This could be simply a phonological phenomenon, a variation between /m/ and /n/.

:Note: 4.To be grammatically correct, this should read, “ri a thaobh,” “with his side,” but often the possessive article “a” is dropped and the possession is expressed, as in this case, simply with the lenition of the following word (for the masculine possessive) or lack thereof (for feminine.)

:Note: 10.This originally said “thrioblaid” but after listening to the recording several times I am confident she says “thrioblad.” This is confusing, first of all because the root form of the word according to Dwelly is “trioblaid”—there should be no un-slenderized form. 11.

:Note: 14.Case unknown. The article form “na –h” indicates the noun, which is feminine, should be either plural nominative or genitive singular, but the noun form itself is singular nominative. Later on in the passage, the same noun and same form are used after a compound preposition, which requires a genitive. Gaelic nouns may change gender from dialect to dialect, but even if this noun were used as a masculine, the construction would not make sense.

:Note: 15.Seems to be part of a compound interrogative with “dè.” “Rudan” otherwise should be a genitive, but it is a simple nominative plural. 16.This should be genitive because it follows “airson,” but its form is that of a genitive. 17.Not sure if this is translated correctly. Dwelly has no “coireig” or “coireag,” but gives “coire” as “fault, charge, offence, tresspass.” The ending –e/ag is frequently used as a diminutive, so this could be mean “small offenses.” In any case, its form fits that of a dative for either a masculine or feminine noun, which is what ought to follow a simple preposition such as “air.”

:Note: 18.This should be “a’ smaoineachadh,” “at thinking,” but the isolated sound [a] is often swallowed in Gaelic. 19.Refers to “na h-ealain,” indicating that “na h-ealain” is plural, which would make sense except that we have also seen that it is genitive, and plural genitive takes a different form. 20.This might be genitive—the direct object of a progressive verb should always be genitive—although the form appears to be nominative.

:If we would all be courteous and generous to all the people that we meet with in our daily lives, it’s likely that we would make a small change in the vexatious world that is with us today.
:Note: 13.Normally the conditional of “be” in the first person plural conjugates: “bitheamaid.” I can only assume the presence of “nam” beforehand prevents it from doing so here.

:on knowledge
:Note: 14.Case unknown. The article form “na –h” indicates the noun, which is feminine, should be either plural nominative or genitive singular, but the noun form itself is singular nominative. Later on in the passage, the same noun and same form are used after a compound preposition, which requires a genitive. Gaelic nouns may change gender from dialect to dialect, but even if this noun were used as a masculine, the construction would not make sense.

:What sort of things will people do for the chance [lit. value] of escaping the trouble of small offenses and….
:Note: 15.Seems to be part of a compound interrogative with “dè.” “Rudan” otherwise should be a genitive, but it is a simple nominative plural. 16.This should be genitive because it follows “airson,” but its form is that of a genitive. 17.Not sure if this is translated correctly. Dwelly has no “coireig” or “coireag,” but gives “coire” as “fault, charge, offence, tresspass.” The ending –e/ag is frequently used as a diminutive, so this could be mean “small offenses.” In any case, its form fits that of a dative for either a masculine or feminine noun, which is what ought to follow a simple preposition such as “air.”

:But I myself was thinking about learning, and how it can alter our feelings.
:Note: 18.This should be “a’ smaoineachadh,” “at thinking,” but the isolated sound [a] is often swallowed in Gaelic. 19.Refers to “na h-ealain,” indicating that “na h-ealain” is plural, which would make sense except that we have also seen that it is genitive, and plural genitive takes a different form. 20.This might be genitive—the direct object of a progressive verb should always be genitive—although the form appears to be nominative.

:Note: 10.This originally said “thrioblaid” but after listening to the recording several times I am confident she says “thrioblad.” This is confusing, first of all because the root form of the word according to Dwelly is “trioblaid”—there should be no un-slenderized form. 11.

:Note: 14.Case unknown. The article form “na –h” indicates the noun, which is feminine, should be either plural nominative or genitive singular, but the noun form itself is singular nominative. Later on in the passage, the same noun and same form are used after a compound preposition, which requires a genitive. Gaelic nouns may change gender from dialect to dialect, but even if this noun were used as a masculine, the construction would not make sense.

:Note: 15.Seems to be part of a compound interrogative with “dè.” “Rudan” otherwise should be a genitive, but it is a simple nominative plural. 16.This should be genitive because it follows “airson,” but its form is that of a genitive. 17.Not sure if this is translated correctly. Dwelly has no “coireig” or “coireag,” but gives “coire” as “fault, charge, offence, tresspass.” The ending –e/ag is frequently used as a diminutive, so this could be mean “small offenses.” In any case, its form fits that of a dative for either a masculine or feminine noun, which is what ought to follow a simple preposition such as “air.”

:Note: 18.This should be “a’ smaoineachadh,” “at thinking,” but the isolated sound [a] is often swallowed in Gaelic. 19.Refers to “na h-ealain,” indicating that “na h-ealain” is plural, which would make sense except that we have also seen that it is genitive, and plural genitive takes a different form. 20.This might be genitive—the direct object of a progressive verb should always be genitive—although the form appears to be nominative.

:My home is, of course, at his [emphasis] side wherever he, is but over here is the home where I am closest to my spirit, where prayer comes to me and where I feel most near to the Creator.
:Note: 4.To be grammatically correct, this should read, “ri a thaobh,” “with his side,” but often the possessive article “a” is dropped and the possession is expressed, as in this case, simply with the lenition of the following word (for the masculine possessive) or lack thereof (for feminine.)

:Note: 13.Normally the conditional of “be” in the first person plural conjugates: “bitheamaid.” I can only assume the presence of “nam” beforehand prevents it from doing so here.

:on knowledge
:Note: 14.Case unknown. The article form “na –h” indicates the noun, which is feminine, should be either plural nominative or genitive singular, but the noun form itself is singular nominative. Later on in the passage, the same noun and same form are used after a compound preposition, which requires a genitive. Gaelic nouns may change gender from dialect to dialect, but even if this noun were used as a masculine, the construction would not make sense.

:What sort of things will people do for the chance [lit. value] of escaping the trouble of small offenses and….
:Note: 15.Seems to be part of a compound interrogative with “dè.” “Rudan” otherwise should be a genitive, but it is a simple nominative plural. 16.This should be genitive because it follows “airson,” but its form is that of a genitive. 17.Not sure if this is translated correctly. Dwelly has no “coireig” or “coireag,” but gives “coire” as “fault, charge, offence, tresspass.” The ending –e/ag is frequently used as a diminutive, so this could be mean “small offenses.” In any case, its form fits that of a dative for either a masculine or feminine noun, which is what ought to follow a simple preposition such as “air.”

:But I myself was thinking about learning, and how it can alter our feelings.
:Note: 18.This should be “a’ smaoineachadh,” “at thinking,” but the isolated sound [a] is often swallowed in Gaelic. 19.Refers to “na h-ealain,” indicating that “na h-ealain” is plural, which would make sense except that we have also seen that it is genitive, and plural genitive takes a different form. 20.This might be genitive—the direct object of a progressive verb should always be genitive—although the form appears to be nominative.

:Note: 1.Cop is present tense unless otherwise stated. 2.This is of interest since “againn” supposedly means “at.1p,” while “agam” is “at.1s,” but here “againn” clearly used in the sense of “at.1s.” This could be simply a phonological phenomenon, a variation between /m/ and /n/.

:Note: 10.This originally said “thrioblaid” but after listening to the recording several times I am confident she says “thrioblad.” This is confusing, first of all because the root form of the word according to Dwelly is “trioblaid”—there should be no un-slenderized form. 11.

:Note: 14.Case unknown. The article form “na –h” indicates the noun, which is feminine, should be either plural nominative or genitive singular, but the noun form itself is singular nominative. Later on in the passage, the same noun and same form are used after a compound preposition, which requires a genitive. Gaelic nouns may change gender from dialect to dialect, but even if this noun were used as a masculine, the construction would not make sense.

:Note: 15.Seems to be part of a compound interrogative with “dè.” “Rudan” otherwise should be a genitive, but it is a simple nominative plural. 16.This should be genitive because it follows “airson,” but its form is that of a genitive. 17.Not sure if this is translated correctly. Dwelly has no “coireig” or “coireag,” but gives “coire” as “fault, charge, offence, tresspass.” The ending –e/ag is frequently used as a diminutive, so this could be mean “small offenses.” In any case, its form fits that of a dative for either a masculine or feminine noun, which is what ought to follow a simple preposition such as “air.”

:Note: 18.This should be “a’ smaoineachadh,” “at thinking,” but the isolated sound [a] is often swallowed in Gaelic. 19.Refers to “na h-ealain,” indicating that “na h-ealain” is plural, which would make sense except that we have also seen that it is genitive, and plural genitive takes a different form. 20.This might be genitive—the direct object of a progressive verb should always be genitive—although the form appears to be nominative.

Later on in the passage, the same noun and same form are used after a compound preposition, which requires a genitive. Gaelic nouns may change gender from dialect to dialect, but even if this noun were used as a masculine, the construction would not make sense.

:Note: 15.Seems to be part of a compound interrogative with “dè.” “Rudan” otherwise should be a genitive, but it is a simple nominative plural. 16.This should be genitive because it follows “airson,” but its form is that of a genitive. 17.Not sure if this is translated correctly. Dwelly has no “coireig” or “coireag,” but gives “coire” as “fault, charge, offence, tresspass.” The ending –e/ag is frequently used as a diminutive, so this could be mean “small offenses.” In any case, its form fits that of a dative for either a masculine or feminine noun, which is what ought to follow a simple preposition such as “air.”

:Note: 18.This should be “a’ smaoineachadh,” “at thinking,” but the isolated sound [a] is often swallowed in Gaelic. 19.Refers to “na h-ealain,” indicating that “na h-ealain” is plural, which would make sense except that we have also seen that it is genitive, and plural genitive takes a different form. 20.This might be genitive—the direct object of a progressive verb should always be genitive—although the form appears to be nominative.
