The iad cailleadh thing strikes me as odd. It should be: agus go gcaillfidís.


Is this the only form used in Cork Irish?


Probably not, but how can you parse iad cailleadh?


iad cailleadh, iad subject, cailleadh intransitive verbal noun
e.g. (I prefer) that they lose, (I want) them to lose, or here: if they lost
iad a chailleadh only for transitive constructions: iad object, cailleadh transitive verbal noun
e.g. (I want) to lose them, or here: if they were lost

In other dialects, there is only iad a chailleadh, transitively and intransitively (if applicable)
At least in Connacht, I'd prefer intransitive go gcaillidís, too.
