I'm familiar enough with the English version of the following excerpt from scripture to be able to translate the Irish, but I'm puzzled by the word "oilc."
"...tá fios mo smaointe in bhur dtaobh...smaointe síochána ní oilc..."
Is oilc a form of the noun, olc, and if so, what form -- dative?
Buíochas

A) Posessive case of the noun "olc"
an madra olc
ainm an mhadra oilc
B) Masculine posessive case of the adjective "olc"
an t-olc
údar an oilc
In your example, it could be either. |

Opps, mixed those examples up.
Should've been
A) Posessive case of the noun "olc"
an t-olc
údar an oilc
B) Masculine posessive case of the adjective "olc"
an madra olc
ainm an mhadra oilc |
