"Do Cholm ní cuideáin amháin a bhí an choigríoch: shamhlaíodh sí dá cheadfaí sóntacha mar Bheag-Árainn rosamhach a chaitheadh sondaí uaithi anois is arís i gcumraíocht corrphoncán grianbhealaithe, agus 'bhaitseannaí'óir, oll-'truncannaí' buí diamhra,..." Cad is brí do "corrphoncán","'bhaitseannaí'óir", agus "oll-'truncannaí' buí diamhra"? |

Poncán - a Yank (American)
corr phoncán - the odd (or rare) yank
'bhaitseannaí' - a phonetic spelling of "watch", pluralised: gold watches
oll-'truncannaí' buí diamhra - large mysterious yellow trunks |

Tá sé sin fíor. Cad is brí do "shamhlaíodh sí dá cheadfaí sóntacha"? Tá mé ag ceapadh go bhfuil dearmad ann. B'fhéidir gur "shamhlaíodh sé dá chéadfaí sóntacha" é? |

Níl tuairim agam cad tá i gceist le sóntacha
ceadfaí - senses |

Sóntacha-gullible, naive. (Tá "Foclóir Gaeilge-Béarla" Dhónallach agam anois!) It's the use of "shamhlaíodh" that is confusing me. "She used to imagine to his naive senses..."? That's why I thought it might be a typo: "samhlaíodh". "She was imagined to his naive senses." |

Samhlaíonn sé (go) - it would appear (that)... (Ó Dónaill). "Shamhlaíodh sí dá cheadfaí sóntacha...." - It (the foreign land) used to appear to his naive senses....? |

Do dhein, dar ndóigh.
Ach feachaint air anois, cheapfainn gurbh botún cló an "sí", gurbh "í" ba cheart a bheith ann, agus mar sin an brí atá agat leis. |

Not to interfere with the conversation, but I want to make sure I understand a concept correctly...
Celtoid's thank you to Aonghus should actually be
Go raibh maith agat, a Aonghuis.
correct?
