(ó 500 Beannacht Mhic Gearailt)
Do Ríona agus an Ainnir Ioruach:
Céill' gan srann, gan chaille, gan beann agat!
Gur de thaoisigh agus dhíolmhanaigh do chéile!
Nuachar iol-mhaoineach chugat
Translations later (maybe!). |

A Aonghuis,
For Riona and the ... woman (I assume you mean Norwegiandame)
You have reason without snoring, without missing, without dependence.
.........
I know that is truely shameful but I thought it would be better to try and look foolish than to not try at all. I assume that these are all proverbesque expressions so they are probably rather idiomatic and might not make sense to me without explanation.
Beir bua agus beannacht |

Ioruach is Norwegian, I was right about Norwegiandame being the other person.

Céill' = Céile (= nuachar = person you marry/married). |

Cúpla nod eile:
maoin [ainmfhocal baininscneach den dara díochlaonadh]
sealúchas, saibhreas.
taoiseach [ainmfhocal firinscneach den chéad díochlaonadh]
ceannaire, rialtóir; príomh-aire (rialtais).
taoisigh [ainmneach iolra]
iol -> il- [réimír]
iomadúil, eagsúil; difriúil
These are all wishes (Modh foshuiteach)
foshuiteach [ainmfhocal firinscneach den chéad díochlaonadh]
(sa ghramadach) modh den bhriathar a úsáidtear chun guí, dóchas nó éiginnteacht a léiriú (fan go dtaga sé; nárab é duit).
There is an implied "go raibh" in front of the first and third. |

Ó ceart go leor:
1) May your spouse be free of snores, losses and dependencies
2) May your spouse be descended from cheifs and nobles
3) May you get a spouse of different kinds of wealth |
