Recte: Suigh síos - pronounced "suig" in Munster and "suí" elsewhere. |

"Suigh síos agus lig do scíth" reminds me of a holiday in the Hebredies where I heard familiar Irish words used in an unfamiliar way and yet easily understood in context
Ó bhó, bhó, tha mí sgíth. I am tired.
Tha go dearbh. Yes, certainly.
etc.
I feel another trip to Skye, Staffin, Leodhas, na Hearaidh (?), Uist, and Barraidh coming on. Roll on summer. The plane lands on the beach in Barraidh when the tide is out! |
