Hey everyone !!
I am having a little troubling rembering
a tattoo my grandfather had --...
He told me it said "Comfort is Treachery"
I am almost positive the word used for Comfort
was: Sòlas
And for Treachery: Feall.
I don't remember how the verb worked in to it!
I'm thinking it should be: Sòlas sé Feall

Anyone???
(Thanks)

Thanks for your help -- I just wanted to make sure of
something..
It was my understanding that if you phrased it:
Is feall solás -- it would mean more like
"treachery is comfort (or comfortable)" ..
The meaning of the slogan is more like:
"the feeling of comfort (or being comfortable) is treacherous".
Would it still be put: Is feall solás ?

Yes
Is solás feall
would translate as
Treachery is comfortable
