Hola! Aha, oups...Wrong forum!
:rofl:

I am wondering if I could get a second translation for the following?

Biodh an deoch seo 'n laimh mo ruin
Deoch slante le fear an tuir.

May this drink be in the hand of my beloved
A toast to the man of the tower

(by the way if you had googled it you'd have found it ;) )

I always thought it meant the drink would be in his hand (if he was here...)

If it were "would", the verb would be "bhiodh" (ou "bhitheadh"), with a lenition :)

Wouldn't that be 'bheadh......'?

I've never seen anything like "bheadh" in Scottish Gaelic. "Biodh" is the standard form of the conditional (previously "bitheadh"). There may have been people who wrote "beadh" before standardisation, but if so, it's long past.

Oooops! Wrong forum. :oops: I click on 'view unread posts' and didn't realise that we were in the Scottish Gaelic Forum. I was surprised at Lughaidh writing 'bhiodh', but thought it was possibly an unusual a moment of weakness! Sorry for disturbing the conversation!!!! :oops:

But when there's no particle before (ie. not "nam", "gum", "nach" etc), it is lenited so it is "bhiodh" or "bhitheadh" (bhitheadh is the long form) as I said.
