An chine daonna is what I'm familiar with.
A scríob is a dhóigh me - that scraped and burnt me.
Ceannrach: pronounced keaurax.

Of course, I should have caught on to that one.



If cine is lenited, then shouldn't daonna also be lenited (i.e. an chine dhaonna or an cine daonna)?

This is an exception. The Muskerry form is definitely "an chine daonna".

siúraigh 'direct, guide, steer'
slabhra 'chain'
leathchlaí 'shaft'
leath-tharrac 'side drag'
le fána 'downward'
réidh 'ready', ullamh is generally more common
seasaigh second person plural imperative of seas
tabhair aire do 'take care of it'
cífimid The Munster form of the verb feicim is cím (lenited outside of West Kerry to chím), and thus forms such as feicim are mostly only found in dependent forms of the verb (but here the forms beginning in cí- are still also found An bhfeiceann tú é sin? ~ An gcíonn tú é sin?)
b'éigean go 'must have'
luascadh 'swinging'
ag gíoscán 'creaking, grinding, squeaking'. The standard is díoscán; I have also found gioscán in CDh Irish too
cruite ar a chrúba 'shoes on its hooves'
briseann sé isteach i sodar 'he breaks out into a trot'
coimeád greim 'hold on/keep your grip'
'Dial faic, a Pháid', one of the responses to 'Aon scéal?' 'any news', translating basically as 'nothing much'. Here dial reflects the Munster pronunciation of the word diabhal, meaning 'devil'
scaimh gháire 'a snarl of a smile'
i gcoinnibh Munster form of i gcoinne, using the dative plural which is relatively uncommon in CDh except in proverbs and in set phrases such as this

Of course. 'The Usages of a language are matters of far greater importance than grammar to the life of a language' as P. Ó Laoghaire said.

imní pronounced iminí, with the stress on the last syllable
pointe pronounced puínnte
Seo linn arís agus ansan tagaimid go dtí an bpointe go gcuireann Com an Lochaigh í féin in iúl duit. 'Here we go again and then we come to the point that informs you of Com an Lochaigh itself'?
I gcuntais Dé na bhflaitheas 'in the count of God of sovereignty'?
Chím, apparently the author has both lenited and unlenited forms of the verb (: Chím capaill fiche céad míle uaim)

Maybe it's this: "...and then we come to the point where Com an Lochaigh introduces itself (to you)."


Possibly this: "In the accounts of the God of sovereignty"

Thank you. That makes sense.

le fánaidh is downward, with a slender g
seasaídh is the plural imperative with a long vowel and a slender g
Seo linn arís agus ansan tagaimid go dtí an bpointe go gcuireann CÚM an Lochaigh í féin in ÚIL duit: we set off again and then we come to the point where Cúm an Lochaigh makes itself known to you.
Dia na bhflaitheas: Almighty God, the God of the heavens (it's not "sovereignty"; its gpl here)

Diarmuid Ó Sé:



I think that endings like -idh, -igh, -ig also often become conflated as they share identical pronunciations, e.g. téanaig oraibh ~ téanaigh oraibh ~ téanaidh oraibh.
