Aistriúchán , más é do thoil é

"Ba iad sin na teallairí céanna ar an bhfaiche dhea-phalcaithe chéanna."

I can't find the definition of "dhea-phalcaithe."



The passage is from An Odaisé.(aistritheoir: Monsignor Pádraig de Brún)

English translations say the field is measured or leveled.

Go raibh maith agat.

De réir Ó Dónaill is ionann Palc agus Pulc

pulcadh [ainm briathartha][ainmfhocal firinscneach]
sacadh (tú féin a phulcadh le bia); líonadh suas (tá an áit pulctha leo); plód, plódú.


"Well packed down" mar sin?

FGB: palc, -adh = pulc, -adh

1. Stuff, gorge
2. Crowd, throng
3. Cram (as in "cram for exam")

My guess: "on the same well-crowded lawn" or "on the same well-tamped lawn".

Is geal leis an bhfiach dubh a ghearrcach féin.
