Is there a specific name for the hands of a clock as distinct from other types of hands/pointers? Thanks in advance. |

I heard the word "lámh" in a song from Donegal ('Mheall si lena glorthai mé", sung by Clannad). Something like "Go gcuirfinnse lamh na cloige arist / Go dti'n t-am..." Learn Irish pronunciation here: http://loig.cheveau.ifrance.com/irish/irishsounds/irishsounds.html & http://fsii.gaeilge.org/ |

They are probably interchangable as long as there are context clues as to what you are really talking about. But don't quote me on that. I could be mistaken. Slán! |
