Is is optional in Is mise "I am".

ar an múr is "on the wall", as explained above, a defensive wall.

It comes down to your preference for the word "watcher". One edition of Dinneen (an old dictionary) has fairtheoir (1904), the other has faraire (1927).

Faraire is certainly easier to say than fairtheoir.

I can second An Lon Dubh's version.

Using your punctuation/capitalisation, it would be:

Is Mise an Faraire ar an Múr.

Anyone willing to third it?

I just realized that walls should be plural (I actually like it singular, but if I am going by the book...) Would that change the translation drastically if it were "I am the watcher on the walls"
Thanks again - this is really great!

Is mise an faraire ar na múrthaibh = I am the watcher on the walls.

I'm using the dative plural here, which is a plural used after prepositions.

Other may not use this form and have:
Is mise an faraire ar na múrtha = I am the watcher on the walls.

The dative plural would certainly have an older feel.

In old font:

Is mise an faraire ar na múrṫaiḃ

I love it...thank you!

It would still be good to get a third confirmation on that. Any takers amongst the Munster speakers?

I would have prefered fairtheoir as that is what have been more natural for me; as its in line with the natural process with making professions i.e feirmeoir etc... I would have pronounced fairtheoir with an extra vowel between the "r" and "th" also.. so fairetheoir!

As ye know I bias towards the tuiseal tabharthach iolra as well!

So I give the 3rd nod!

Múr comes from Latin, where its use to describe Celtic type defensive walls- Murus Gallicus; and in Irish it was used to mean a wall that's outside a house or building.

Is dócha go bhfuil an ceart agat, a Chionnfhaolaigh. I gCorcaigh, baineann cúpla duine den ghlúin is aosta úsáid as an bhfocal "faraire", ach i dtaobh na nglúine eile agus muintir Chorca Dhuibhne (agus i Rinn b'fhéidir), deirid siad "fairetheoir", leis an nguta cúnta dá dtagraís.

Dinneen has both fairtheoir and fairitheoir, representing the helping vowel (guta cúnta) with an i, which is pronounced even if not written, of course.

I'd be just as happy with a hybrid version:

Is mise an fairtheoir ar na múrthaibh
Is mise an fairṫeoir ar na múrṫaiḃ

The rth combination in fairtheoir and múrthaibh has an interesting binding and (slightly) balancing effect compared to the earlier version, which had all of the poncanna séimhithe down one end.

An n-úsáideann an Aos Aosta faraire i gCorca'! 'bhfuil faraire níos seanda mar fhocal mar san?
Focal leath-fhánach is ea Faraire/ Fairitheoir, conas a raibh an deis agat an seanadhream a chloisint agus iad á labhairt mar gheall air na focalaibh so!



Do chonac é sin anois láithreach! Éifeacht ana dheas isea í!

Loig don OP an cinneadh a dhéanadh! Is dócha go mbeidh an insgríbhinn so scrite uirthi go deo

Más oireann an cuma seanda libh (múrthaibh srl...) an mbeadh sé níos fearr an litriú don réamhfhocal "ar" a dh'athrú go "air"?

Is mise an fair(i)theoir a(i )r na múrthaibh

or

Is mise an faraire ar na múrthaibh
