I get excited when I find something interesting. I found this:

quote:
“Tá,” ar seisean, “eagla agam’ leas-mháthair roime n-a súil.

I don't know how to say "before her eyes" in the CO. But I would guess "roimh a súil".

I turned this into:

quote:
“Tá,” ar seisean, “eagla agam leasmháthair roimena súil.

Roimena! I would now like to find examples with masculine nouns and plural nouns.

Anyway, I just had to "share".

Have you read Ó Sé's book about Corca Dhuibhne? I think they say something like "roimena" there as well.

Yes, "roimena" is normal in CD and elsewhere in Munster, I imagine.
