1. Nuair a bhíodh sé ag siúl ní fhéadadh sé gan bheith ag géarú sa choisíocht go dtí ná féadfadh éinne coimeád suas leis.

Is this a typo for "géarú a choisíocht"?

2. Bhí sé ag siúl géar - is it OK to have no "go" in there? Go géar? There is no "go" in the original.

1. No. "accelerating in walking"
2. What is the whole sentence? I don't think go is needed, but it is probably not wrong.

No. It is as it says. Literally "sharpening in the walking", i.e. sharpening his walking pace.

Yes. Ó Sé talks about this and I have many examples from my own notes.

As Aonghus asked for it, the whole paragraph is:

quote:

Tháinig sé go Ceann Cora. Nuair a bhí sé ag teacht i gcóngar an rítheaghlaigh agus é ag siúl go géar, chonaic sé an bheirt bhan ag siúl roimis amach agus é ag teacht suas leo. Bhí sé ag siúl géar agus bhíodarsan ag siúl go breá réidh. Bhí caint éigin ar siúl acu a bhí á gcur ag gáirí go hiontach. Níor mhothaíodar ag teacht é go dtí go raibh sé nách mór buailte leo. D’iompaíodar agus thugadar aghaidh air. Do stad sé ina choilgsheasamh ar lár an bhóthair. Gormfhlait agus Niamh is iad a bhí ann.



If as Ailín says there are many examples of "go" not being used then that is what this is.

I'd agree. No "go" needed.

Ó Sé (755): "Uaireanta bíonn aidiacht shingil gan go roimpi ag feidhmiú mar dhobhriathar modha, m.sh, dh'oibrigh sé cruaidh ansan, cailleadh obann é, dá mbeifeá siúl tapaidh."

mara mbéarfar tapaidh ort, (Ó Sé: 143).

Ní rómhaith a thuigeadar féin a chéile, (CBL:GÓC), “Cad atá ag teacht uirthi?”, ars é leis féin, “b’fhearr teitheadh agus teitheadh tapaidh”; (CBL:GÓC)
