Hi!
The dew-rain is an intermediate precipitation between rain and dew. In Welsh, it is named gwlitlzlaw. I wonder if anybody can point me to the Irish word for dew-rain.
Any advice is welcome.

There is no z in Welsh, so gwlithlaw? (gwlith = dew; glaw = rain)


In Irish: drúcht fearthainne

See drúcht (dew) in https://www.teanglann.ie/en/fgb/dr%C3%BAcht
drúcht (beag) fearthainne = fine, dewy, rain

drúcht = dew
fearthainn = rain

Hello, Thank you for the reply and sources.

The Irish words that correspond to the Welsh gwlithlaw are:

Draonán
Salachar

The former is the more exact equivalent, Salachar has quite a broad range of meanings.

Thank you. To your knowledge, is there any Irish and/or Old Irish word starting with gar- or car-, related to water, rain, wet, humidity?

Off the top of my head all I can think of is garbhshín*, blustery wet weather.

*For others reading, the n is slender in Munster, not broad as in Galway Irish.

Thank you for the help. In this case garbh is rough. Very interesting. I will investigate further. Thank you.
