anyone know what ''do bhualadh'' means??

thanks

d'imipidh ?

aswel, if possible


would greatly appreciate it

Bualadh is the verbal noun of buailim, to hit or strike.

The "do" is the particle introducing the verbal noun. So "do bhualadh"=what is normally "a bhualadh" - hitting, striking, meeting.

d'imipidh? Are you sure it's not d'iompódh? turning?

Without the full contexts I can only venture possible versions:

Tá an fear do do bhualadh. = The man is hitting you.

d'impíodh (orm) = (I) was entreated

Ach d'imipidh a chlann.....

and

D'impidh sé ortha comhrac.....


also

...chun buille dian do bhualadh ar son a...

Ach d'imipidh a chlann... I haven't come across any verb written like that. Maybe someone with a deeper knowledge of Munster Irish might be able to help. Is it written in cló gaelach? If it is, take a second look to see if the "p" could be possibly a "g" with a leniting séimhiú dot above it. Then it would be "But his family went..." Otherwise see if "But his family pleaded..." fits into the context.

D'impidh sé ortha comhrac... = He implored them to fight...

...chun buille dian do bhualadh ar son a... = ...to deal a hard blow for the sake of his/her/their...

ye cló gaelach

would those three be alright to write as modern caighdeán irish do you reckon?

You could scan in a picture of the page and send the link. In the Caighdeán, do bhualadh would be "a bhualadh". This business of using "do" instead of "a" to introduce the verbal noun was historical, but it is pronounced "a" in all Irish dialects (as far as I know). But sometimes a lenited d does intervene in Munster, eg chun deoch fuiscí a dh'ól. Who's works are you reading?

D'imipidh can't be "he went" on the basis that the p may be a gh in the old script. Because if so, the spelling would require a th too: d'imthigh.

By the way, if you're sure you have appraised the spelling in old script correctly, you can look up vocabulary at http://glg.csisdmz.ul.ie/fgb/iomhanna/index.php

go raibh míle míle míle maith agaibh

ah its just a piece from irisleabhar na gaedhilge on brian boruimhe

d'impidh is defo whats written there - im taking it as ''begged''


..go mbeidh a fhios aige ansin c'iar b'iad na buainteoirí


anyone know what or why it is ''c'iar'' - what is it short for? what does it mean?

thanks!

cia=cé

c'iar b'iad na buainteoirí= cérbh iad na buainteorí

go mbeidh a fhios aige ansin c'iar b'iad na buainteoirí


that he would then know who the reapers were (?????)

thanks!

the passage is taking about a battle, and a massacre/slaughter

so reapers kind of fits into the overall meaning i suppose



thanks very much

gus gur ghaoibh sé tríocha trí


cant seem to figure out what ''gaoibh'' means

anyone venture a guess?

ghabh captured, perhaps.

Aonghus, I think Gaeilge Chorca Dhuibhne has "ghaibh" for that, with a slender bh, but the "o" in the middle flummoxed me.

I am guessing, from the context.

I'm not sure I entirely trust Conchubhar's transcriptions.
I'd also be happier with complete sentences, since trí in tríocha trí could be either the number "trí" or the preposition (if that is the correct english for réamhfhocal).

thanks
