I'm trying to track down a phrase I heard yesterday. It refers to the passing of stories from young to old, where the child's cheek is pressed against the older persons knee? - something like "glúin is grua le chéile"?
Anyone heard of this phrase?

Níor chuala mé é. Ceann deas is ea é. Cuir ceist i gCorca Dhuibhne (agus abair linn!) |

The commonest phrase I know of for the passing of stories or any kind of lore from one generation to the next is the old one '....ó ghlúin go glúin'. Would that be what you heard?

A Sheanfhir
I've done some more checking with my source. You are quite close. Is "ó ghlúin le chéile" an frása a chuala mé. Is frása Muimhneach é dar leis an scríbhneoir Christy Kenneally |

"le chéile" nó "go chéile"? |

Bheadh ciall le "glúine [iolra] le chéile" (generations together) agus le "ó ghlúin go chéile" (from one generation to the next) |

GML, A Aonghuis, tá an ceart agat - "go cheile" |

A Aonghuis, aon bharúil agat cad chuige go bhfuil séimhiú sna habairtí seo? Ní gnách go mbíonn séimhiú ann t'réis "le" agus "go". |

Níl. Sin ceist d'aos ghramadaí.
Ach tá an seimhiú ceart de réir an Fhoclóir Bhig.
céile [ainmfhocal firinscneach den cheathrú díochlaonadh]
compánach (céile comhraic, céile imeartha); an té atá pósta ag duine (bean chéile, fear céile).
a chéile (ceann leis an gceann eile (aithníonn siad a chéile, mar a chéile iad)).
le chéile (in éineacht, in dteannta a chéile).
trí chéile (measctha; buartha; le chéile).
trína chéile (measctha; buartha; le chéile). |

Bhíos ag ceapadh go bhféadfadh "go chéile" a bheith ina ghiorrúchán de "go a chéile", mar arbh ionann an fuaimniú, ach níl an réiteach so in ann "le chéile" in áit *"lena chéile" a míniú. |
