I'd like to use the "it is soon told" device to be found in Kinsella's version of the Táin, but it is not found as such in the ones with parallel text.
It appears that the favored translation in those is "it is now (here?) told" (?)
The lines seem to use "and so innossa" and I wonder if that is not "anseo inste" in modern Irish ("tá sé anseo inste"?) |

'Anseo anois' atá i gceist le 'and so innossa' a Antaine.
B'ionann 'innossa' / ind fhossa > 'anois' agus 'an sos so'.
Spreagfaidh tú Dennis chun méarchláir le hábhar den chineál so. |

so, just to double check...would "tá sé inste anseo anois" be a good modern irish translation? |
