dul + i (+ abstract noun) should work for all adjectives

An alternative version is: dul + chun (dul chun fuachta)

Thank you both. Would you say that this would be a more traditional form compared to the éirigh + adjective construction?

B'fhéidir é, ach nách as a' déantús Béarla 'becoming cold' a thánaig sé ó thús?

ana-gheangar ar fad ab ea é, does anyone know what this means? Maybe 'it was a very big ordeal all together'?
mínádúrtha 'unatural'
piocóid 'pick-axe'
ar dtúis Munster form of ar dtús
ceirnín mór do fiús the lack of lenition of fiús after do (= de) might be a typo, but it could also be an example of lack of lenition of f- in leniting environments (another example is attributive adjectives, where the f- is often left without lenition), or it could just be lacking lenition as it very obviously is an English loanword (from 'fuse'), and therefor resists mutation
t-iontas pronounced t-úntas
dífhostaíocht 'unemployment'

faoistin 'confession'
Comaoin 'communion'
chun gan iad a dhéanamh go deo arís 'to never do them again'
ciarsúr 'handkerchief'
spéaclaí ar nós a bhíodh ar De Valera 'glasses like De Valera's'
bhíos ag eascainí 'I was swearing'
éitheach 'lie'
muinín, the officialised spelling suggests that this is a diminutive form of some word like *muin(e), but in fact, it comes from the middle Irish muinigin, and thus used to be spelt muinidhin or muinighin, and therefor is a second declension feminine noun, rather than a fourth declension masculine noun, as the spelling would suggest (i.e. the genitive is na muiníne, not an mhuinín)
loirg Munster form of lorg

conas é a dhéanamh 'how to do it'
Cad é an deacracht atá agat léi 'what's the difficulty that your having with it' = 'how is it giving you trouble'
im' bhrú amach as an tslí should either be am bhrú amach as an tslí or 'om bhrú amach as an tslí (but am is more correct)
ascaill 'armpit'
Mol an óige agus tiocfaidh sí, buail sa tóin í agus mothfaidh sí 'praise the youth and they will flourish, strike them in the back and they will fall'? Does anyone know what the verb moth means?
ana-mhaith dom the dom may be lenited or left unlenited depending on if the speaker pronounces the final th (but throughout this book so far there have been many examples of an unlenited dom where a lenited one would be expected)
roinn fé dhó é 'divide it by two'
tríocha, in the southern half of the peninsula at least the vigesimal system is more common: deich 's fiche
ní dheineadh sé an gnó 'it wouldn't do'
tabhair suas 'give up'

am brú without lenition is more correct

sa tóin - in the backside (in the "ass")

mothfaidh sé - he will get angry? Dinneen has mothadh as a variant of mothugadh. Mothughadh feirge. Chuir sé mothú feirge orm, he stung me to anger.

speal 'scythe'
fuaimint Munster form of fuaimniú?
lá dá raibh ... 'one day when ...'
reathaí 'runner'
thar oíche 'over night'
maidin lá'r na mhárach, should be lá a(i)r n-a bhá(i)r(e)ach 'the next day'
fé lántseol probably a typo for fé lánseol, but the t could be an example of the special form of lenition accompanying s- in some environments
banaltra can be pronounced banaraltha
