I heard a word from a friend who spent time in Corca Dhuibhne.
Scibis Tae (pronounced Skibish)

I would love if someone could give me a source validating this word. If not are there any other words of Gaelic origin for a cup?

I think that word was mentioned tomás o'crohán's book the Island Man, where they had to go to valentia to retrieve their boats or something along those lines.

I think this is a word for a small amount rather than a cup.

Ó Dónaill lists "scíobas" as a "sip"

Cuach is a word for a drinking vessel

Maith sibh a leaid.

Tuigim anois cad a bhí i gceist.
"a sup o' tae" más maith leat.


Beidh orm sciobas tae nó dhó a bhronnadh daoibh as ucht bhúr eolais. Tae bheatha, más cuí! haha

Sound!
