Make sure that's confirmed though.

It is funny you say that because that is what Caoimhín had originally, ach is é "lámh" an ginideach iolra den fhocal 'lámh' de réir an chaighdeáin oifigiúil
an ea nach bhfuil sé sin nadúrtha dar leat?

Go with whatever is standard, we do things differently in Conamara.

Sorry Cúmhaí I didn't notice your correction.

So I can go with Cúmhaí said, right?

Using lámh instead of láimhe?

For the sake of speaking, definitely use the nonstandard, but for the sake of writing it is probably best to use the standard lámh

I take it though that you don't want a tattoo of this entire poem! So let us know what portion you choose!!

Actually, it is the entire poem, the 4 phrases, as the tattoo will be a huge one.
Is this a problem?

Well no, it isn't, I just didn't expect it.
Maybe wait for another person's confirmation if you want to be four times sure?
Otherwise good luck!
