Hi, I need help in translating the following from An Braon Broghach, p. 31-32 (especially the sentences not in brackets):

[Bhraith Neile claochlú eicínt in aeraíl an lae ghil, ar nós mar bheadh gach rud dá raibh os a comhair dá strachailt isteach, dá leá agus dá athmhúnlú i scornóg na gréine, i riocht is go] mba ré dhorcha é an scalán go mba fothach é an féileacán agus go mba chuileoga geara goimhiúla an deannach dá bharr sin

Thanks in advance

The athmosphere is suddenlty changing, so that nice things are turing nasty

go mba ré dorcha é an scalán - the sunshine turned to a dark moon (some guesswork here!)
go mba fothach é an féilecán - the butterfly became a fothach
go mba chuileoga geara goimhiúla an deannach - the dust became sharp poisonous flies

Thanks, many words I couldn't find, and there I have it.

Thanks a lot Aonghus!

D'aimsigh mé cuide de na focla canúnacha seo sa bhfoclóirín, agus seo dhaoibh iad mínithe.

scalán: "babhta triomaigh le gaoth is grian le chéile".

fothach: "cleabhar mór", is é sin creabhar mór.

Teagann na samplaí uilig as Cois Fhairrge, ní nach ionadh.

An creabhar seo?
creabhar [ainmfhocal firinscneach den chéad díochlaonadh]
beach chapaill.

Is dóigh liom gob é. Tá "cleabhar mór" ag de Bhaldraithe agus níl ag an bhfocal seo in FGB ach crostagairt do "creabhar" (1) gadfly nó (2) woodcock.

Ós rud é go bhfuil "fothachannaí móra" curtha ar phár ag de Bhaldraithe sa nGaeltacht, ní dóigh liom go gciallaíonn sé "big woodcocks".

"Big gadflies", ab ea?

Rud eile, deabhal a fhios a'm céard tá i gceist le "scornóg (na gréine)". Tá seans ann gurb é "cornóg" ó cheart é, agus cuireadh "s" le tús an fhocail, rud a dhéantar an-mhinic agus ní hé amháin i gcanúintí na Gaeilge. Pé scéal é, níl ann ach tuarimíocht. Céard é seo, dar libh?

The only word I find for fothach is glanders or coughing ( in horses)
