Bob Midden, it's getting confusing now but I'll try to have it cleared up for you by the end of this post, I hope.

- As Murchadh says, it should be "sa streachailt".

- "a fuair (bás)" is correct; "a bhfuair..." is wrong. (It's a direct relative, Gumbi.)

- The "standard" form is "ar son" but "ar shon" is common in many parts of the Gaeltacht.

- Irish has a good word -"banlaochra" - = female warriors, heroines. (And wouldn't it be "laochra ban" rather than "laochra mná"?)

So, tweaking Bríd Mhór's version slightly: Ar son na mbanlaochra a fuair bás sa streachailt ('banlaochra' becomes 'mbanlaochra' here for grammatical reasons)

Well tweaked, a Errigal. :good:

I can second this:

Ar son na mbanlaochra a fuair bás sa streachailt

And in old script:

Ar son na mbanlaoċra a fuair bás sa streaċailt


:good:
