"athshnaidhm" looks like it could be pre-standard, does it have a modern spelling? Or is this the spelling still being used?
How would you say:
They reknotted the lines to the ship because the wind was becoming stronger.

Snaidhm is still spelled that way.
But it refers to the actual knotting, not tying. I'd use ceangal arís in your example sentence. |

Ah...GRMA a Aonghus. I saw that also, but didn't know if I should go that route.
How would you conjugate that?
Snaidhmeann?

I wouldn't! I don't use snaidhm as a verb. |
