Back in with An Braon Broghach:

"Feictear dom dá sínínn mo lámh uaim go sciochfainn mám réaltóg den spéir; nó dá gcuirinn séideog faoin luaith chaillte sin ansin, go gcruthódh sí ina trilseáin filíochta."


Thanks

Take a stab at it and then I'll fill in the blanks.

Especially if you tell me where to find the passage in context.

It's on page 68-69. A translation by me:

It seems to me that if I had stretched my hand out, I would have got mom a star from the sky; or however I had put a sniff about these lost ashes here, it would have turned out they were a string of poetry. ?????????

Is it a correct translation?

be my guest and correct what needs to be corrected.


Thanks

Close. Some keywords.

mám [ainmfhocal baininscneach den tríú díochlaonadh]
lán láimhe.

(Mom is "mam" without the fada).

séideog a chuir faoin luaith - to blow into the ash to kindle them

caillte in this case means dead

caillte [aidiacht den tríú díochlaonadh]
imithe ar iarraidh; básaithe.

An bhfeiceann tú gur gá aithne seanainmfhocail a bheith nuair a léann duine ar bith An Braon Broghach?

Grmma faoi seo.
