Litir eile?

Mar is mian leat! Tá sos tuillte agat, ar ndóigh, ach tá cead agat litir eile a chur in áirithe anois.

La 3rd 10

láirigeach – m. Large-thighed person
lámhadóir – m. handler
lamhnán – m. bloated person

laoch – m. 1. lit. layman, 2. warrior, hero
laochmhile – m. man-at-arms, warrior
laochra – m. coll. warriors, band of warriors

Mar a thuigimse anseo é, is fearr na cinn seo a leanas a fhágáil amach mar sin:

lámhainneoir - m. glove-maker
lámhcleasaí – m. juggler
lámhoibrí – m. handworker
lánchúlaí – m. full back

Nílim cinnte faoi

laochra – m. coll. warriors, band of warriors
agus fiú
laoch – m. 1. lit. layman, 2. warrior, hero
nó
laochmhile – m. man-at-arms, warrior
a bheith ar an liosta.

Leanfaidh mé ar aghaidh ar aon nós, gan na professions an uair seo.

Ná mise. Hmmm. Is dócha nach mbacfainn féin le "laoch" agus "laochra". Maidir le "lao", sílim gur leor:

lao - m darling

Bhí ‘creature’ ann in áit ‘person’ i larán 1, lathartach tar éis ungainly agus i lathartóg;
An féidir linn a thuiscint go mbaineann an téarma le daoine mar is créatúirí sinne (ar a laghad sa chaint)?

Note to editors: two of the headwords, saighdiúir and samhairle were shown to be masculine, but when modified by a second word, they appear to be feminine, so I put question mark instead of gender, since I'm not sure.

Is féidir, dar liomsa.

Séard a dhéanfainnse sa chás seo ná níos mó ná iontráil amháin a dhéanamh de:

leadaí – m idler, loafer, good-for-nothing
leadaí na luatha - m sit-by-the-fire
leadaí an mhéan oíche - m night-wanderer, one who keeps late hours
leadaire - m idler, loafer, good-for-nothing
leadaire na luatha - m sit-by-the-fire
leadaire an mhéan oíche - m night-wanderer, one who keeps late hours

Ach níl a fhios agam an fiú an saothar breise é seo! Abigail? Liz?

Cá bhfuilimid anois? Tá B, C, N, R críochnaithe, agus L, S ag gluaiseacht ar aghaidh faoi lánseol. Tá G in áirithint ag Abigail, agus dúirt BRN go raibh suim aige sna gutaí.

Is fiú dar liom - níor mhaith liom na bríonna eile a "chailleadh."

Ach seans nach ndéanfainn "leadaí" agus "leadaire" a scaradh ó chéile. Níor shocraigh muid an cheist sin roimh ré - céard a dhéanfas muid le malairt leagain agus litrithe éagsúla? Is éard a mholfainn ná sampla Uí Dhónaill a leanúint: má tá an dá litrithe éagsúil go leor go raibh dhá iontráil tuillte acu in FGB, bíodh acu anseo. Céard a mheasann sibh?

My understanding is that the headword governs the gender and that "saighdiúir mná" and "samhairle caillí" are both grammatically masculine. I removed the question marks (and added a fada to "mná") accordingly when I added that installment to the master list.

má tá an dá litrithe éagsúil go leor go raibh dhá iontráil tuillte acu in FGB, bíodh acu anseo. Céard a mheasann sibh?

Níl mé cinnte. Chruthaigh mé ceithre iontráil i gcás an fhocail "rama":

rama - m wretch
ramaid - f wretch
ramaire - m wretch
ramaiste - m wretch

Cé nach bhfuil ach iontráil amháin in FGB:

rama, m. Wretch. (Var: ~id f, ~ire m, ~iste m)

Cé acu ceann is fearr libh mar réiteach?

Agus rud eile: an fiú bacadh leis na huimhreacha atá sna hiontrálacha in FGB? Thug mé neamhaird orthu sna litreacha N, R.

I'll redo the A entries at the end, as I cant face any more words starting with a vowel right now...

Go raibh maith agat as na gutaí!

Rith mé tríd an litir O arís anois díreach (tóisc go bhfuil sé sách gairid) agus fuair mé cúpla focal eile le cur lenar thug tú dúinn, BRN:

ocrach - m hungry person
ocrachán - hungry person; miserly person
ógchiontóir - m juvenile delinquent
ógfhear - m young man
ógh - f virgin
ógra - m young people, youths
oilghníomhaí - m misdemeanant, person who has been convicted of a misdemeanor
omhna - m doughty warrior (lit.)
otrachán - m dirty, vulgar, person

oirireach –m. eminant, illustrious person

recte: oirirceach

ógánach –m. crafty person; boyo, trickster
ógán –m. [variant of above]

Is dóigh liom gurbh fhearr an dara ceann a scróbh amach ina iomláine freisin, má tá sé ina iontráil leis féin:

ógán – m. crafty person; boyo, trickster

(Message edited by dennis on February 19, 2007)

Tá dhá cheist agam anois:

1) Ar chóir dúinn focail "liteartha" ("lit.") ar nós "omhna" a chur ar an liosta?

2) Ar chóir dúinn "singular collectives" ar nós "ógra" a chur air?

Dennis a dúirt:

quote:

Chruthaigh mé ceithre iontráil i gcás an fhocail "rama":

rama - m wretch
ramaid - f wretch
ramaire - m wretch
ramaiste - m wretch

Cé nach bhfuil ach iontráil amháin in FGB:

rama, m. Wretch. (Var: ~id f, ~ire m, ~iste m)

Cé acu ceann is fearr libh mar réiteach?

Is fearr liomsa na ceithre iontráil mar a scríobh tú thuas. Sin mar a rinne mé na B's.

quote:

Agus rud eile: an fiú bacadh leis na huimhreacha atá sna hiontrálacha in FGB? Thug mé neamhaird orthu sna litreacha N, R.

Ní fiú, dar liomsa. Agus b'fhearr linn iad a sheachaint.

Dennis arís:

quote:

1) Ar chóir dúinn focail "liteartha" ("lit.") ar nós "omhna" a chur ar an liosta?

Ceapaimse gurbh fiú é. Feictear focail mar sin i leabhair ó ham go ham.

quote:

2) Ar chóir dúinn "singular collectives" ar nós "ógra" a chur air?

Nílim cinnte de, ach ní bheadh siad mí-oiriúnach don scéim. Ach ní chuirfinn rudaí mar 'lucht éisteachta', 'lucht an oibre' isteach.

Tosnóidh mé ar an litir T anocht nó amáireach.

Bhí mé i gCeanada inné, ag ceilúradh Féile Lá Coille na Síneach. Bhí an bia ag Kingford Restaurant i Richmond go han-mhaith, mar is ghnách.
Agus inniu thar éis a bheith ar obair an mhaidin ar fad san oifig, thug mé m'iníon ar ais go dtí a harasán i Seattle tráthnóna. Chuir sé fearthainn go trom ar mo bhealach abhaile idir Mt. Vernon is Bellingham.

Céard faoi

leadaí na luatha - m sit-by-the-fire

mar sin?


Le 2nd 10

leadhbóg - f. untidy woman, ~ oinsí, slattern.
leadóg – f. 1. big, stout person. 2. tiny unkempt girl; mite

In case you want to leave out leanbh because it’s so commonly known, seo ceann eile:

leadaí na luatha - m sit-by-the-fire
leadaí an mhéan oíche - m night-wanderer, one who keeps late hours
mar sin?

Tá áit ag dul dóibh ar an liosta, dar liomsa. Chuir mise iad seo air:

Ruairí an mheán oíche - m fly-by-night

ceamach na luatha (buí) - f cinderella

Dála an scéil, cheartaigh mé an síneadh fada i "leadaí an mhéan oíche" thuas, agus chuir mé "leandóg" isteach in ionad "leanbh".

Dennis,
I removed them as I thoght that they were not required, some been in Foclóir Póca, and so could be found more directly. Mmm, this means there are more not in there...

SO should everything apart from professions be put in?

Déanfaidh mé 'F' anocht, má tá sé sin alright libh, muna bhfuil sheol scéala chugham, más é thoil é.

Installment #1 of P

Note to editors: I'm not sure what a rasher is, but I included the word slisín.

Rashers is what we call thin slices of bacon. See http://www.fotosearch.com/results.asp?keyword=rashers&category=&searchtype=sss

Le 3rd 10

leangán – m. unsteady, tottering person
leannán – m. 1. lover, darling, sweetheart, ~ sí, fairy, phantom lover 2. sickly, complaining person
léanscach – m. tall, thin person (var. léanscaire m.)
leantóir – m. follower
leanúnach – m. follower, pursuer, successor, continuant
leanúnaí – m. follower
learaire – m. lounger, loafer
leargaire - 1. tracker, pursue; detective; seeker, searcher. 2. follower, adherent
léasaí – m. tenant, lessee
leasaitheoir – m. reformer, improver. (var. leasaire m.)

I’m not sure about including ‘léasaí – m. tenant, lessee’
so here’s an additional one again
leascaire – m. 1. whipper 2. kicker 3. dashing fellow ( var: lascalaí m)

Here are the T's. I wasn't sure whether or not to include some of them (tacaí, teifeach, tréad mar shampla) but I figure they can always be deleted at a later time.I liked this one:

Dennis,
lovely animation. The best bit is as you close in!

Good job I did not mention a story of the other day, where a lad goes to me:

"Edwards!"

"Wha"?

"Edwards! That's what Paddy Conefrey calls goats" (and starts to smile)

I frown, and we both laugh at the daftness of it all

as who knows what sort of link could have come up. Still there's always place for a new synonymn...

quote:

Sin litir eile istigh againn! Táimid beagnach réidh. Ar mhiste leat súil eile a thabhairt ar E?

quote:

Tabhair súil eile ar na hNanna, led thoil, má tá an t-am agat. Agus cá bhfuilimid leis na hAanna anois?

quote:

Ar mhiste leat súil eile a thabhairt ar E?

Tabharfaidh agus fáilte.

Beidh

Déanfaidh mise na hAanna muna bhfuil siad déanta cheana féin. An dtosnóidh mé leis na hAanna?

Scrios mé éileatóir freisin. Saghas cille is ea é atá le fáil i bplandaí spóracha.

Súil eile ag teastáil ar aon litir eile, Dennis?

Céard faoi J?

jaingléir m straggler, vagrant; insignificant person

A Liairne, thanks for the information about rashers - yummy, those pictures on the link you provided look very tasty!

quote:

Seo é an liosta E mar atá sé agam anois:

Tá siad ar an liosta agam díreach mar sin anois. GRMA!

quote:

Céard faoi J?

jaingléir m straggler, vagrant; insignificant person

Maith thú! Sin an méid, raight? Tá iontráil amháin againn faoi H agus ceann amháin faoi J anois.

quote:

aerthóir – m simpleton, airhead

Is maith liom an sainmhíniú breise "airhead"! An-deas ar fad!

An bhfuilimid ansin fós, an bhfuilimid ansin fós? . I'd like to start a thread to discuss some of our findings, such as the occurrence of some oft-repeated characteristics, etc., but I thought I would wait until we are finished. So, Dennis, as soon as you say we're done with the data entry, I'd like to start that thread.

Thanks for coming up with this project - it's been a lot of fun!

quote:

An bhfuilimid ansin fós, an bhfuilimid ansin fós?

Foighid (= foighne) ort! Tá cuid de A agus cuid de L in easnamh fós. Sin an méid, go bhfios dom.

Tuigim agus is docha gur suailce é foighne le daoine éigin, nach ea?

Cén litreacha a bhfuil súil eile orthu ag teastáil? Ceapaim gur mhaith an smaoineamh é sin a dhéanamh orthu uilig sula "bhfoilsítear" an liosta. Tuigim an deifir atá orainn ach níor mhaith linn rian na deifre sin a fheiceáil ar an toradh...

Cén litreacha a bhfuil súil eile orthu ag teastáil?

Na gutaí uilig seachas E, I, O, U.

Ceist: an mbeadh "cé na litreacha" níos fearr? Tá's agam go ndeirtear "cén [iolra]" go minic.

Déanfaid mé an chuid eile de na hLanna.

A agus scaití W, Y mar sin? :-)

Maidir le do cheist, bheadh go deimhin! Táim ag éirí millteanach míchúramach le déanaí. Ní hé mo leas féin é.

Ach is é mo thuairim go mbeadh sé ar fheabhas dá mbeadh an t-am ag duine nó daoine ar bith súilbheag a chaitheamh ar an oibre atá déanta againne le déanaí

Ach tá sé déanach san oíche anseo. Codladh sámh daoibh uilig go léir. Buailfidh mé libh amárach, le cúnamh Dé.

Táim féin díreach tar éis súil a chaitheamh ar ruball na nAanna freisin, agus seo iad na hiontrálacha a thogh mise:

* argthóir - m destroyer, plunderer
* arracht - m spectre, monster; giant

Ach chuir mé réiltín rompu, toisc nach raibh mé cinnte!

atúirnéir - m aturnae (ní thuigim é seo)

Leagan malartach de "aturnae" (attorney) atá ann, sin an méid.

Caithfidh mé a admháil go bhfuilim in amhras faoi na hiontrálacha seo uilig. "Ardfhear" an t-aon cheann a chuirfinn ar an liosta gan leisce ar bith.
