So I'm about half way through reading this play...and much impressed at the amount of Irish (and spelled properly, not phonetically) in it.

There's one line, however, that I can't figure out if it's supposed to be phoneticized Irish or nonsense...only that it is printed numerous times excactly the same, "och hona ho gus hah-haa"

Is it real?

It might be Och, ochón ó agus something

Is it an interjection of misery/mourning?
