In the article entitled 'mea culpa' http://www.nuacht.com/home.tvt?_scope=La/Content/Faoi%20Chaibidil&id=3494&psv=1


there is something that caught mine eye:

...[ar] bhreithlá mo mháthar." I would have said mother in the null case, "[ar] bhreithlá mo mháthair" thinking that the possesive pronoun would have annulled it, altho on mature recollection it seem quiet natural.

But heres even more. In the Clare Island dialect book, there is a phrase 'ar mo chois' -the dative is jumping thru the noun (they still have the dative for broad ending feminine nouns there, it is not like Conemara where cos is/has been discarded). In the Caighdeán I think it is 'ar mo chos'.

Is this another one of the thinks missed in the books?

'Clare Island dialect book'.

Can you give the full reference?

There is no Irish in Clare Island to my knowledge and hasnt been for a east sixty years - they had a light house!!

Sin Oileán Cliara atá agat, a ghaelgannaire, Co. na Gaillmhe.

Is chuig Oileán Cléire , Co Chorcaí atá brn.

This is Oiléan Chléire off Cork. It think it is weak there, but still there are natives there (so I have heard). Are you taling about the Mayo one?

The book is 'An Teanga Bheo' by Breandán Ó Buachalla from the (now defunct) ITÉ

Tá fíorghaeil fós ar Oileán Chléire. Labhair mé le duine acu ar an nguthán tamall ó shin..
