Could you put this quotation into SG please -
"Lord, ye gave me a rare woman, and God! I love her well"

Thug thu boireannach gann dhomh, a Thighearna
agus tha gaol agam dhi gu math mòr, a Dhia.

Notes:

-- The word boireannach is grammatically masculine (like cailín in Irish), but the pronoun i is still used with it. So you have an unlenited adjective, but dhi for "for her".

-- You could use bean in place of boirreanach, but it would normally be understood as referring specifically to the speaker's wife. The use of bean for just "woman" is considered somewhat old fashioned now. If you use bean, it is grammatically feminine, as in Irish, so you'd have bean ghann, but still dhi for "for her".

Mise? Should that not have a preposition, like dhomh-sa (or whatever the Scottish form/spelling is)?

(There’s also something a bit odd about the English quote, isn’t there? ‘Ye’ is the plural form of ‘thou’—but even back when ‘ye’ was used as a formal singular pronoun [like vous in French], surely nobody would use it to address God? I’ve only ever seen God addressed in the singular/informal in Germanic languages, at least …)

Always wait for at least three people to agree on a translation, especially if it’s for something permanent.

My translations are usually GU (Ulster Irish), unless CO (Standard Orthography) is requested.

You're absolutely right, kk - my mistake. I was trying to justify the emphatic mise to myself because mi sounded odd by itself, and know I know why it did. It would also sound fine with dhomhsa, n\but the emphatic form is probably not really needed.
