PREFACE.
Manv of those who cultivate literature will acknowledge, that their exertions are oftener the
result of accident, or of precipitate resolution, than of long cherished design, or mature reflec
tion; that their most laborious enterprises are, sometimes, undertaken without due regard
to the difficulties which stand in the way of their completion ; and that although the possibility
or likelihood of ultimate success be at intervals contemplated, the ardour of the pursuit is
kept up by causes independent of such considerations.
Firmness of purpose is peculiarly requisite in the Lexicographer who has had no precursor
in his particular walk of compilation ; who has had to encounter, at every step, the ruggedness
and perplexities of an untrodden path ; to contend with difficulties at every turn ; to find
barrenness where he hoped for fertility, obscurity where he looked for light, and misappre
hension and error, where he expected certainty and truth. His difficulties are, without
question, of a disheartening character : this I may be allowed to say from my own experience ;
yet I should be unwilling to utter an expression of dissatisfaction or regret : for. I might be
told that my labour was voluntary ; that he who throws himself into trouble has nothing to
blame but his own rashness ; and that he who challenges difficulties or misfortune, deserves
only ridicule for his complaints.
In undertaking the present task, I did not, perhaps, sufficiently consider the disadvantages
under which I laboured, nor the odds against which I had to contend ; but I knew that
formidable obstacles have often yielded to steady resolution, and unremitting diligence.
It is not easy, in speaking of one s own labours, to avoid the imputation of egotism ;
I shall, therefore, leave it to others to form their own estimate of the present publication. I
can only say that, though my task has been severe, it has not been without advantage ; and
that though it should never be crowned with great public approbation, it has not been alto
gether without its reward. It has pointed my way to various sources of learning which
otherwise I should not have approached ; it has led me to consult authors whom otherwise I
should not have known ; it has procured for me patronage which cannot be exalted by my
praise, and friendship which I shall ever be proud to cherish.
The first remark which may occur in opening these sheets is, that I have been too lavish
of quotations in some instances, and too sparing in others. On this subject I shall only
viii PREFACE.
observe, that I considered myself as engaged in the double task of instructing the ignorant,
and of assisting the well-informed ; that a Lexicographer ought not to take for granted the
knowledge of those who consult him ; and that I had, moreover, the design of throwing
every facility in the way of future compilers. To the charge of being too sparing, I have
to answer, that the list of authors in our language is so small, that, for a vast variety of words,
I could not find, nor does there, I believe, exist, any written authority.
In the Gaelic- English Dictionary, the different acceptations of the Gaelic words might
have been arranged with the same precision, and after the same method, as in some other
dictionaries, but that the size and price of the work would be thereby nearly doubled .
In translating the Gaelic language, the inflections of nouns and verbs are apt to embarrass
the young student. On that account I deemed it expedient, in a great variety of instances,
to insert, as separate articles, the nominatives and datives plural of nouns, and such tenses
of the verbs as are in most frequent use, and, at the same time, bear the least resemblance to
the root ; such are the preterite active, the future affirmative active and passive, and the past
participle. I have also arranged many of the aspirate forms of words, as separate articles,
and have referred for explanation to the simple form. This will, it is hoped, be found useful.
Few students would conjecture that they must turn up cluas for cluasaibh ; tigh for thigh; dl
for dh'dl; dlrich for dhirich ; buail for buailidh; beir for rug ; cluinn for chual; thoir, or thabhair,
for bheirinn. If, in this, I should be considered diffuse by those who already know the lan
guage, I feel assured that I shall have the acknowledgment of those who know it not, and
are desirous to acquire it.
It will be seen that, in many words, especially in those which I considered primitive, I
have traced affinities to a considerable extent. In doing so, my object was to leave grounds
for inferring the common origin of all languages, and to establish the antiquity of the Celtic.
For, if nations far remote and unconnected, dissimilar in manners and customs, shall have
preserved the same terms for all such objects as are most familiar to the observation of a
people in a state of nature, the obvious inference is, that these terms must have been derived
from a common origin; from the language of the earliest inhabitants of the earth. Again, if
the Celtic should be found to contain all such terms as are common to all languages, it
is evident that it must have derived them from man's primeval tongue.
It is true that almost every language of antiquity has asserted its title to be considered the
most ancient ; and men whose erudition cannot be disputed, have supported their respective
claims. Of these, the Celtic has found an able advocate in Pezron, and other philologists ; the
Hebrew, in Leibnitz ; the Phoenician, in Bochart ; and the Dutch, in Gor. Becanus.
The diversity of opinions entertained on this subject, may, perhaps, be accounted for. All
the languages of antiquity, which are, in truth, but so many dialects of the primeval speech,
have nearly an equal number of primitives ; and each of them, therefore, in as far as roots
are concerned, seems to carry, on the face of it, an argument for the earliest existence. There
is little wonder, then, if a scholar should decide in favour of that with which he is most
PREFACE. ix
familiar, and that a great question in philology should be affected by that prejudice which
intrudes itself into every department of human inquiry.
With all my admiration of the Celtic, I cannot join with those who ascribe to it an
antiquity beyond that of many other languages ; for I have not been able to discover, that
it can be said, with truth, of any language, that it is the most ancient.
I do not propose to meddle, in this place, with the keenly contested point, whether
the Gaelic of the Highlands be the parent of the speech of Ireland. However, I may be
permitted to observe, that the Scotch Gaelic bears a closer resemblance to the parent
Celtic, and has fewer inflections than the Welsh, Manks, or Irish dialects. It has this
circumstance, too, in common with the Hebrew, and other oriental languages, that it wants
the simple present tense; a peculiarity which strongly supports the opinion, that the Gaelic
of Scotland is the more ancient dialect. This question has been long discussed with
eagerness and ability. The one party draws its opinions partly from history, partly
from acute hypothetical reasoning, and from the natural westward progress of early migra
tion ; the other argues from legends for which credulity itself is at a loss to discover a
foundation.
Throughout this work, I have followed the orthography of two writers, who are relied
on as guides by their countrymen ; the one, Dr. Stewart of Luss, the translator of the
Holy Scriptures into Gaelic ; the other, Dr. Smith of Campbelton, the author of a Gaelic
metrical version of the Psalms, and other creditable works. These writers spent much of
their time in settling the orthography of our language ; and, as they have a just and acknow
ledged claim to be considered authorities, it is much to be desired that they should, hence
forth, be regarded in that light. Fluctuations in the Gaelic language are perilous at this
stage of its existence ; for, if it be not transmitted to posterity in a regular, settled form,
it is to be feared, that it must soon share the fate of the forgotten Cornish.
The rule caol ri caol agus leathan ri leathern, has been carefully observed by the writers
already mentioned, especially by Dr. Stewart, It directs that two vowels, contributing to
form two different syllables, should be both of the same class or denomination of vowels,
either both broad, or both small. Agreeably to this rule, we ought to write deanaibh, not
deanibh ; foidean, not fdidan ; bioran, not biran ; and so on, with other words. This mode of
spelling is a modern invention. It was first introduced by the Irish, and adopted by the
Gael, with, I confess, more precipitation than propriety. It has its advantages and its dis
advantages. It mars the primitive simplicity and purity of the language ; but it removes
from it that appearance of harshness which arises from too great a proportion of consonants.
It not unfrequently, darkens somewhat the ground on which we trace the affinities of Gaelic
words with those of the sister dialects, and of other languages ; yet it has. infused into our
speech a variety of liquid and mellow sounds whioh were unknown, or at least not so
perceptible before. It may be asked, why I have adhered to a rule of which I did not
altogether approve ? 1 reply, that any attempt at innovation even at restoring the language
b
X PREFACE.
to its primitive purity, might introduce more inconveniencies and evils than can result from
the present settled system of orthography.
I have bestowed pains on referring derivative words to their primitives in resolving com
pound words to their component parts in affixing to substantives their genitive singular and
gender and to verbs their signification, whether active or neuter. The quotations from Gaelic
writers are translated into English as literally as the idioms of these languages will allow.
The edition of Stewart's Gaelic Bible, of which I made use, was that printed at Edinburgh
in 1807, for the Society in Scotland for Propagating Christian Knowledge. The particular
book of the sacred volumes from which I take a quotation is almost always mentioned.
Occasionally, however, O. T. or N. T. will be met with, where I could not remember the
precise part of the Old or New Testament which contained my authority. G. B. occur
where I could not remember nor ascertain from which of the Testaments the quotation
was taken. These abbreviations are, I believe, of rare occurrence ; and I have here adverted
to them, in order to explain what, otherwise, might appear a want of precision.
The Gaelic, like all the languages of early times, does not abound in terms of science
or art. It will be seen, therefore, in the English-Gaelic Dictionary, that terms in mathe
matics, metaphysics, and other sciences, I have been compelled to express by ambiology,
and often by definition.
If it be found that, of names of instruments, as in agriculture and mechanics, some are
rendered, perhaps, imperfectly, and others overlooked, let it be remembered, that no com
pilation ever yet recorded every vocable which floated in a spoken language ; and that I could
not, when an uncertainty occurred, transport myself to the proper sources of information,
to make up for the scarcity of books and the defects of memory.
The Gaelic vocabularies of Shaw, Macfarlane, and Macdonald, and the Irish dictionaries
of O'Brien and O'Reilly, were of considerable service to me. The mere collecting of words,
however, was but a small part of my labour, compared with the wearisome and almost
endless pursuit of authorities for different acceptations of the same word.
In tracing affinities, I derived great benefit from the works of Suidas, Cambry, Court
de Gebelin, Menage, Rostrenen, Bullet, Pezron, Spellman, Lye, and Edward Lhuyd, among
philologists ; and, in matters of antiquity, from Strabo, Diodorus Siculus, Solinus, Tacitus,
Ammianus, Usher, Toland, Huddleston, Keating, Malcolm, Dr. John Macpherson, Pennant,
Smith, and a forgotten multitude of other erudite and ingenious writers.
In the English-Gaelic Dictionary, I have followed the orthography and arrangement
of Perry.
It was once my design to prefix to this work a dissertation on the mechanism and
philosophy of the Gaelic language ; but, on reflection, I substituted a compendious view of
its structure, as being more suitable to such a performance, and more likely to be of service.
In this department of my compilation, I am indebted to the works of Shaw, O'Reilly,
and O'Connor.
PREFACE. xi
A circumstance not unworthy of notice concerning this Dictionary is, that a great part of
it was printed while it was generally thought to be only in preparation. Hence it happened
that, during the progress of these sheets through the press, I was, not unfrequently, favoured
with communications from most respectable quarters, conveying encouragement which
excited my gratitude, and offers of assistance which were, I lament, too late to be ren
dered available. No doubt, it would have been useful to my work, if I had obligations,
on this account, to acknowledge. Be that as it may, I consider it due to myself to state,
that neither in compiling this Dictionary, nor even in transcribing the mass of manuscript
for publication, nor in superintending the press, have I received the least assistance whatever.
For patronage, however, I am deeply beholden to several whom my commendations cannot
affect, but whom gratitude compels me to mention.
The early and effective patron of this work, I am proud to make known, was Lord
Strathavon ; a young nobleman who, to many other acquirements, has added a most
accurate knowledge of the Gaelic language. I have not vanity enough to attribute to the
humble merits of my performance his Lordship's powerful support, to which I owe almost
all the more splendid names on my list of subscribers; but rather to that liberal and active
spirit with which he lends his aid to every cause which concerns the literature of the
Scottish Gael, and the honour of their country.
To his Grace the Duke of Hamilton I feel greatly indebted for attention and encourage^
ment ; as also to Lord Archibald Hamilton, and to Lord Glenorchy,
Sir Charles Forbes, Bart., of Edinglassie, whose patriotic character is well known, laid
me under early and great obligations. I value the kindness of this gentleman the more,
because it procured for me the acquaintance of General Gordon of Balbithan, a very superior
Celtic scholar and philologist, from whose conversation and suggestions I derived essential
benefit.
I am gratified to rank, among my most zealous patrons, Dr. Mackinnon of Adelphi,
and the Rev. Dr. Ross of Lochbroom ; gentlemen whose knowledge of every branch of the
Celtic language is the least of their acquirements.
Mr. Simon Mac Gillivray of Suffolk Lane has done this Dictionary a service, which I can
never forget nor sufficiently acknowledge.
Mr. Robert Kennedy of Grenada will, I hope, accept of this expression of my gratitude
for his most active support, to which I owe a great proportion of my West India subscribers.
My sense of the friendly and successful efforts of the late Dr. Charles Kennedy of
St. Vincent, my schoolfellow and college companion, is equalled only by my regret for
his untimely death, and my respect for his memory.
1 have also my thanks to offer to the following gentlemen, who, though mentioned the
last in order, are not the least in my esteem : Capt. Duncan Mac Dougall of the 79th Regt.
of Foot; the Rev. Daniel Mac Naughton of Glenco and Appin; the Rev. Alexander
Anderson of Strontian ; and the Rev. Alexander Kennedy of Mull.
xii PREFACE.
It would be most ungrateful in me not to take this opportunity of mentioning, that,

notwithstanding all the patronage with which I have been favoured, it is questionable whether
I could ever have offered these sheets to the public, but for the disinterested spirit of my
publisher, Mr. Duncan.
To my Subscribers, in general, I return my sincerest acknowledgments. They may be
assured that very strenuous exertions have been made to fulfil the promises held out in the
Prospectus ; and I trust that I shall be considered as having redeemed my pledge.
To hope that this Dictionary is free from imperfections, even after all the pains I have
bestowed on it, would be presumptuous ; and to expect that any circumstance shall cause
those to be overlooked or forgiven, would be to hope for a favour which has been withheld
from far higher claims and deserts than mine ; for the merits of one's cause are not always a
protection from hostility and censiire ; and diligence, however laborious and sincere, is not
always requited with approbation.
I forbear to mention the time which this work has occupied, and the labour which it has
required. I might be discredited by some, and considered by others as indulging my vanity;
especially when I should add, that I had in the meanwhile to provide for my own sub
sistence ; and that the compilation which I now send forth to the world, is, in truth, the
production of such hours as I could spare from harassing occupations, or snatch from the
proper seasons of repose.
Having stated this much, I must guard against misconstruction. I have no desire to
conciliate hostility, nor to soften criticism. My cause is good . I have, under all disad
vantages, done it the best service in my power; and I now, without presumption, yet
without undue anxiety, submit my work to a public intelligent enough to know the value
of every man's labour, and sufficiently generous to assign to all the degree of honour which
they may deserve.

A GRAMMAR
OF THE
GAELIC LANGUAGE.
Grammar, or the art of speaking and writing a language according to certain established rules, is divided into four parts,
viz. Orthography, Etymology, Syntax, and Prosody.
Orthographt, or right spelling, teaches the true arrangement of letters in words; the correct utterance of which
is called Orthoepy.
Etymology teaches how to derive a word from its root or primitive, the parts of speech, the inflection of nouns
and verbs, and the modifications by which the sense of a word is diversified.
Syntax teaches how to arrange words into sentences.
Prosody teaches the accent and quantity of syllables, arid the measure of verse.
OF ORTHOGRAPHY, or RIGHT SPELLING.

The old Gaelic, commonly called the Irish, alphabet, consists of eighteen letters, which are divided into vowels and
consonants.

OF VOWELS, AND VOWEL SOUNDS.

Of these, a, e, i, o, u, are vowels, which Irish grammarians have divided into broad and small : a, o, u, are broad ;
f, i, small.
A.
A represents three different sounds ; in the first two of which it is both long and short. A long, sounds like the
English a in bar, or the Italian a in amo ; as, al, broad ; sar, excellent : and short, like a in cor, as, cas, a foot ; fait, hair.
b
ii A GRAMMAR OF
A, immediately preceding dh and gh, has a long and a short diphthongal sound, to which there is none correspondent
in English. In this situation it much resembles the sound of the French diphthong eu ; long, as, ladhar, a hoof ; agh-
mhor, fortunate : short, as a in lagh, law ; tagh, choose.
A sounds short and obtuse, like e in open, in the three forms of the article a, an, am, and in the plural terminations
a and an ; as, laghanna, laws ; beanntan, mountains.
E.
E represents three different sounds.
E, with the grave accent (), sounds long, like the Greek as pronounced in Scotland and on the Continent, or like
e in where ; as, e, he; ri, (luring the time of: and short, like e in wet ; as, teth, hot; in which state it is never accented.
E, with the acute accent (e), sounds like the Greek n, as, pronounced in England; as, tt, a female.
E final lias an obtuse sound, like e in open; as, beannuichte, blessed; buailte, struck; there being no silent final
vowels in Gaelic.
I-
/sounds like ee in English, but sometimes long and sometimes short; long, as, sin, stretch; sith, peace: short, like
ee in feet ; as, bith, existence.
O.
0 represents three different sounds, in each of which it is both long and short.
O long, sounds sometimes like o in lord ; as, bl, drink ; rbmach, hairy : and sometimes like 0 in fold ; as, cbt, a coat ;
torn, a hillock.
0 short, sounds sometimes like 0 in pot ; as, brod, a lid ; grod, rotten ; borb, fierce : and sometimes like o in rope ;
as, slob, a puddle.
0, before gh, has a long and a short diphthongal sound : long, as, sogh, luxury ; short, as, roghuinn, choice.
U.
U sounds like u in French and Italian, or like the English 00 in moon, but sometimes long and sometimes short :
long, as, fudar, powder ; short, as, furan, a welcome.
OF THE DIPHTHONGS.
A diphthong is the meeting of two vowels in one syllable. In Gaelic there are thirteen diphthongs, and they are
derived from the vowels in the following manner :
- fea. , . .
From a\ai. From e< el' From i\io. From 0, oi. From u.\ .'
I\.ao. J eo.
/ I tu.
f ' lui.
K
K V eu. v
Of these, ao, eu, are improper diphthongs ; the rest are proper.
PROPER DIPHTHONGS.
Ae.
Ae occurs but in a few words; as, Gael* a Highlander.
At.
Ai sounds like ai in the French canaille; as, caill, lose; saill, salt; pailteas, plenty. Very frequently i is but faintly
sounded ; as in dite, a place ; fciilte, welcome.
Ea.
Ea sounds like ea in the English noun bear ; as, each, a horse ; fear, a man ; but before a palatal, c, g ; or a lingual,
/, n, r ; or a dental, d, s, t, not silent, the prepositive is often either quiescent, or but faintly sounded ; as, cealg, deceit ;
geall, a wager.
Ei.
Ei sometimes gives the sound of both vowels ; as, feidh, deer ; and sometimes that of e alone ; as, reidh, a plain.
Before the palatals, c, g, the Unguals, I, n, r, or the dentals, d, s, t, not silent, i is but faintly heard; as, reic, sell; leig,
let ; fiin, self: and often confers on a following palatal, a double palatal sound ; as, thig, (pronounce heek), shall come ;
and on a dental, a double dental sound ; as, theid, shall go (pron. heich, articulating ch as in church).
Eo.
Eo sounds somewhat like aw in yawl; as, cebl, music; ceb, mist.
la.
la has both vowels heard ; as, far, crooked ; tail, a thong ; ciar, dusky ; but in cta ? what ? and iad, they, ia often
sounds like e in where.
* Gael and Gaelach are more commonly written Gaidheal and Gaidliealach, to preserve the rule, caol ri caol, is leathan ri leathan.
THE GAELIC LANGUAGE. m
Io.
Io sounds both long and short : long, as, ea in fear; as, sior, ever ; for, true : and short, not unlike the French eu ;
is, fiodh, timber. Before a palatal, lingual, or dental, o is not always, or but faintly, heard ; as, ptoc, pick ; ciod, what ;
sgial, skill ; bior, a thorn ; fos, knowledge.
In.
lu sounds both its vowels; as, fu, (pron. few), worthy; except before c, g, or d, I, n,,r, s, t, where it is not
I ; as, Hugh, thick, (pron. chiix) ; dibit, deny, (pron. chiult).
Oi.
Oi sounds both its vowels : long, as, doigh, manner ; sloigh, host : short, as, troidh, a foot ; bloidh, a piece. Except
before c, g, I, n, r, s, t, not silent, i is quiescent, and affects the sound of the consonant which it precedes ; as, toic,
substance, (pron. tm^k) ; foid, a turf, (pron. /ocA, ch sounding as in chair) ; coise, gen. of cas, foot, (pron. coish).
Ua.
Ua sounds both its vowels; as, tuar, colour; fuar, cold. Except before ch, dh, gh, th, the a of ua commonly
sounds like e in her ; as, bruach, a bank ; tuadh, a hatchet ; sluagh, people ; luath, swift.
Vi.
i'i sounds both its vowels ; as, buidhinn, gain ; luidh, lie. Except before c, g, I, n, r, s, t, the i of wt is not heard ;
but it affects the sound of the consonant following, as, luis, (pron. luish) ; tuit, fall, (pron. tuich, ch as in church) ; sluig,
sw&Uow, (pron. slluk,k as in key).
IMPROPER DIPHTHONGS.
Ao.
Ao has a peculiar sound, not attainable by the ear, much resembling that of eu in the French heure ; as, laogh, a calf;
ud a nasal sound, as, maoth, soft.
Eu.'
Eu sounds like ei in feign ; beum, a blow ; feum, need.
OF THE TRIPHTHONGS.
The triphthongs are these five : aoi, eoi, iai, iui, uai. They are pronounced respectively, like the diphthongs, ao, co,
ia, iu, ua, with the addition of a short i, which serves to liquefy the sound of the following consonant. They are all long,
and never occur but in monosyllables, or in the first syllable of polysyllables.
OF THE CONSONANTS.
There are twelve consonants, b, c, d, f, g, I, m, n, p, r, s, t ; h is rather a mark of aspiration than a radical letter.
The consonants in Gaelic may be conveniently brought into the following arrangement : Labials, Palatals, Dentals,
and Linguals.
ials<^*
Labials Palatals \c' Dentals < t. Linguals \n.
{;; U U
Of these, b, c, d, f, g, m, p, s, t, are mutable, or capable of aspiration, by having h subjoined ; in which state their
sound is either altered or lost. The immutables are /, n, r.
Labials.
B.
B simple sounds somewhat harder than b, and softer than p, in English ; as, buail, strike ; bean, touch. Bh sound
like v in English, French, and Italian ; as, bhean, touched ; bhac, hindered. Bh, at the end of a word or syllable, either
sound like u, or stand for a gentle aspiration; as, searbh, bitter; ftabhras, a fever. Sometimes bh, in the middle of a
word, are silent; as, soirbheas, prosperity; doirbheas, adversity.
F.
F simple is pronounced as in most other languages; fh are silent; as, fhad, long; an Fhraing, France. In a very
few words, as, mi fhcin, myself, fh sound like k in English.
M.
M simple, the same as in English ; as, mbr, great ; caman, a club ; lorn, bare. MA sound like v in English ; as,
amhain, only ; a mhusgaid, the musket. Frequently, though never at the beginning of a word, mh sound like a nasal oo,
or stand for a gentle aspiration ; as, ramh, an oar ; and sometimes they are altogether quiescent, as, comhnard, level ;
\, to me.
In the West and Northern Highlands, this diphthong is often pronounced like ia; as, miad, size, for mend; ian, bird, for ettn.
iv A GRAMMAR OF
P.
P simple sounds as in English and other languages ; as, pronn, bruise ; peasg, a gash ; ph like / in English, as,
phronn, bruised.
Palatals.
C.
C simple has two sounds : (1.) Like c in cub; as, cil, a dog; crath, shake. (2.) When preceded in the same syllable
by a small vowel, it has, in most parts of the Highlands, a sound to which that of yp. is pretty similar ; as, aire, distress,
(pron. <*ig;c). In some parts it sounds like k.
Ch sound like the Gr. % in or like the Irish gh in lough, or the vulgar Scotch ch in loch, as, moch, early ; and,
when followed by a small vowel, like in y,u(itn ; as, chi, shall see.
G.
G simple sounds, at the beginning of a word, nearly as in English ; at the end of a word, its sound more nearly
resembles that of the English k in rock ; as, rug, bore ; thug, gave.
G aspirated, or gh, followed by a, o, or u, sounds somewhat softer than the Greek # ; as, ghair, laughed ; excepting
at the end of a syllable, and then it is silent ; as, tigh, a house ; rioghachd, a kingdom.
Gh, followed by e or i, sounds like y in ye ; as, ghios, (pron. yeess), towards.
Dentals.
D.
D simple is more a dental than in English, and sounds somewhat like the French and Italian d ; as, dan, a song ;
duine, a man ; dlagh, a handful ; madadh, a mastiff; rud, a thing. Except when it is followed by e or i, or is preceded
in the same syllable by i ; for then it spunds like ch in child ; as, clogaid, a helmet ; cdirdeas, friendship.
D, preceded by dh, sounds like js*; as, lochd, harm, (pron. llo^*).
Dh, at the beginning of a word, has a somewhat softer sound than the Greek % ; as, dha, to him ; but if followed
by e or i, it sounds like y in English ; as, dheth, of him ; dh' i, of her, (pron. yea, ye).
Dh, at the end, or in the middle of a word, is most frequently quiescent ; as, chaidh, went ; faidheadaireachd,
prophecy.
T simple, immediately followed by o, o, or u, or a consonant, sounds like the French t in terns, or the Italian t in
tempo; as, tamh, rest; taom, pour; tla, smooth.
T simple, preceded in the syllable by it, or immediately followed by e or i, sounds like ch in child ; as, tein, fire,
(pron. chein) ; faille, welcome, (pron. failch, ch sounding as in church).
T aspirated, or th, like h in home; as, thoir, give; but in the middle, or at the end of a word, it is silent; as,
Jitheach, a raven; bith, existence.
S.
S simple, preceded or followed by ^ e, or t, sounds like sh in English; as, sion, (pron. shion), a blast; gnuis, (pron.
gnuish), a visage. Except is, (pron. iss), am.
S simple, preceded or followed by a, o, or u, sounds like s in English ; as, sabh, a salve ; sogh, luxury ; mios,
a mouth.
S simple, followed by d, t, I, or n, and a short vowel, sounds like sh in English ; as, sdiilir, or stiilir, steer ; slios,
a side ; sniomh, spin.
S, before any other consonant, even though followed by a short vowel, sounds like s in English ; as, smig, (pron.
smik), a chin ; smeid, (pron. smeich), a nod.
S aspirated, or sh, is silent ; as, shebl, directed, (pron. hedl) ; excepting when followed by I or n, and then there is
no aspiration ; as, shnamh, (pron. nav), swam ; shlanuich, (pron. Uint%), healed.
i Linguals.
The lingual consonants, as has been said, are incapable of aspiration ; but they have often a double lingual sound,
to which there is none similar in English.
L.
L simple, like I in large ; as, las, flamed. It has this sound when it begins the preterites of verbs and the feminine
form of adjectives.
L has its double lingual sound when followed by e or , and then it is articulated like 11 in million, or like the Italian
gl, or the Portuguese Ih ; as, linn, an age ; lein, a shirt. Yet, with regard to nouns beginning with I, if the masc. poss. pron.
goes before, I sounds as in English ; as, a litir, his letter ; where I differs materially in sound from I in a litir, her letter.
L has another double lingual sound, generally, when it is preceded by itself, or when it is followed by a, o, or , in
verbs and in adjectives masculine ; as, fallain, healthy ; lan, full ; lorn, bare; lus, an herb. - ,
11, preceded or followed by a short vowe1, also sounds as the Italian gl.
II, preceded or followed by o, o, 01 u, has the same double lingual sound as in lan, masculine, but has no sound
similar to it in English.
THE GAELIC LANGUAGE. v
N.
N simple sounds like n in English in the beginning of preterites, and whenever it is preceded by a, o, or tt ; as, nigh,
washed ; ldn, full ; Ion, a thrush ; run, affection ; and in the middle of words, as, sinidh, shall stretch.
N has its double sound in the beginning of a verb in the imperative mood, and followed by a, o, or u ; as, nochd,
shew ; or at the beginning of a masculine adjective, and followed by a broad vowel ; as, naomh, holy ; nuadh, new. In this
situation it has no similar sound in English, but is the same with the first n in the French non.
The same observations apply to the reduplicated nn.
N has another double sound, when immediately preceded by i, or when i is the last vowel of the same syllable ; as,
linn, an age; citirn, cairns; uinneag, a window; and at the beginning of imperatives, and certain other tenses, when
followed by a small vowel ; as, nigh, wash. In this situation it sounds exactly like gn, in the French guigne, or the
Italian regno.
N, preceded by m or c, is in some words pronounced like r ; as, cnaimh (craimh), a bone ; cnb (crb), a nut.
Lastly, an and nan, when the next word begins with c or g, sound like ng and nung ; as, an cii, the dog ; an gial, the
cheek ; nan cealgair, of the deceivers.
R.
R simple sounds like r in English ; as, rath, (pron. ra), luck ; righ, a king. High, in the vocative, has no sound
similar to it in English, but it is exactly that of ri in the French infex'ionti.
R, if preceded by i, or if followed by t, and forming a syllable, sounds as above, like ri in the French inferiorite ;
as, rithe, with her ; mairbh, dead ; coir, right.
OF ETYMOLOGY.
Etymology is that part of grammar which teaches how to derive a word from its primitive, shews the parts of
speech, the inflections of nouns, and the modifications by which the sense of a word is diversified.
OF THE PARTS OF SPEECH.
In Gaelic there are nine parts of speech, viz. Article, Noun, Pronoun, Verb, Participle, Adverb, Preposition,
Interjection, Conjunction. These are divided into declinable and indeclinable.
The declinable parts of speech are, the Article, Noun, Pronoun, Verb, Participle.
The indeclinable are, the Adverb, Preposition, Interjection, Conjunction.
OF THE ARTICLE.
There is no indefinite article in Gaelic. An, the, is the definite article, and is declined by genders, cases, and numbers.
Singular. Plural.
Mas. Fem. Mas. and Fern.
Nom. An, am. An, a'. Na.
Gen. An, a'. Na. Nan, nam.
Bat. An,* a'. An, a'. Na.
The form am of the article is used before a simple (not aspirated) labial ; as, am buille, the blow ; am fear, the man :
before any aspirated consonant (except fh) the article is written a'.
A substantive noun, beginning with s, followed by a liquid or by a vowel, requires the insertion of t between it and
the article, in the gen. and dat. sing. mas. of nouns, and in the nom. and dat. of feminine nouns.
A sub. mas. beginning with a vowel has t between it and the article in the nom. sing.
A sub. fem. has h in the same situation in the gen. sing.
Nouns which are either mas. or fem. have h in the nom. and dat. plural.
Nan, of the gen. pi., is always used, except before words beginning with b,f, p. Nan, before c or g, sounds nany.
OF GENDER.
The genders are two, masculine and feminine.
The Gaelic language is very anomalous in its distinction of nouns by gender ; and perhaps no set of rules can be
devised to ascertain the gender of every noun in the language. It personifies every object, whether animate or inanimate.
The gender is not determined by termination, or any circumstance, but by immediate distinction of sex, and by custom.
Masculines.
Nouns signifying males, are masculine ; as, duine, a man ; laoch, a hero ; each, a horse.
Note.That lebmhann, lion; laogh, calf ; van, lamb ; and several other names for the young of animals, are masculine,
though the objects be feminine.
Nouns in o, or having o in the last syllable, are commonly masculine ; as, cc'o, must ; roth, a wheel ; corp, a body.
Polysyllables in a, o, or u, are commonly masculine.
Diminutives in an are masculine ; as, caman, a club ; fuaran, a well ; barran, a thorn-fence.
An, after a vowel, is written 'a.
vi A GRAMMAR OF
Derivatives in ach, iche, as, air, ear, are for the most part masculine ; as, marcach, a rider ; maraiche, a seaman ;
piobair, a piper ; muillear, a miller ; cdirdeas, friendship.
Names of trees are commonly masculine.
Feminities.
Nouns signifying females are feminine ; as, mathair, a mother.
Aggregate names of trees are feminine ; as, darach, oak-wood.
Names of countries, especially those ending in achd, or which have a short vowel in the last syllable ; as, Gaidhealt-
achd, the Highlands; Eirin, Ireland. The names of districts have their gender commonly regulated by their termination.
Names of musical instruments ; as, piob, a pipe ; cruit, a harp.
Names of diseases ; as, buinneach, a diarrhoea.
Polysyllables (except agents in air and iche) whose least vowel is e, or i, are commonly feminine ; as, neasgaid, a
boil ; doirlinn, an isthmus.
Diminutives in ag ; as, sradag, a spark.
Derivatives in achd ; as, maiseachd, comeliness ; rioghachd, a kingdom.
Comparatives used substantively, are feminine ; as, maoile, baldness ; gile, whiteness. .
Nouns in xia, and ui, a diphthong, the subjunctive of which is a slender or small vowel, are commonly feminine; as,
cuach, a cup ; compailt, company. ,
OF NUMBER.
A noun has two numbers, singular and plural.
The cases are four, viz. Nominative, Genitive, Dative, Vocative.
A noun is either simple or aspirated, e. g. mbr, mhbr, where mbr is the simple form, and mhbr the aspirated.
Nouns in a definite sense are declined with the article.
The flection of a Gaelic noun is carried on not so much by a change of the termination, as of the last vowel, or of the
diphthong of the nominative, and by aspirating the initial consonant.
The Gael have only two declensions. Nouns whose last vowel is a, o, or u, are of the first ; nouns whose last vowel
is e, or , are of the second.

THE GAELIC LANGUAGE. xv
OF ADJECTIVES.
Ax adjective is a word which denotes some quality belonging to the substantive ; as, duine math, a good man ;
tigk mbr, a large house.
In Gaelic, the adjective is varied on account of gender, number, and case.
The changes which an adjective undergoes in the course of flection are twofold : first, by aspirating the initial con
sonant; and, secondly, by changing the termination.
Adjectives, like substantives, are either of the first or second declension.
Adjectives which are characterized by a, o, or u, are of the first declension.
Adjectives characterized by i, are of the second.
ADJECTIVES OF THE FIRST DECLENSION.

RULES FOR THE INFLECTION OF ADJECTIVES OF THE FIRST DECLENSION.
SINGULAR NUMBER.
NOMINATIVE.
The initial consonant, when it admits of aspiration, is aspirated for the feminine gender, and terminates like the
masculine ; as, mbr, m. mhbr,fem. great; fann, m.fhann,fem. weak ; ceart, m. cheart,fem. right.
OBLIQUE CASES.
The oblique cases of each gender are formed like those nouns of the first declension, and follow the same rules.
GENITIVE.
In general, the genitive singular feminine is formed from the genitive singular masculine by throwing aside the aspirate
of the initial consonant ; and monosyllables, after this change, commonly add e.
If the noun masculine ends in e, that vowel is retained throughout.
The learner may derive some help from the following table :

ADJECTIVES OF THE SECOND DECLENSION.

These adjectives are characterized by i, and they form their cases like substantives of the second declension.
Some adjectives of two syllables, of both declensions, are contracted in the plural; as, reamhara, contr. reamhra, fat ;
milise, contr. milse, sweet.
The initial form of the adjective depends, (1) on the gender of its noun, (2) on its termination, (3) on its sense being
definite or indefinite.*

OF THE COMPARISON OF ADJECTIVES.

In Gaelic there are three degrees or states of comparison ; the Positive, Comparative, and Superlative.
The Positive merely expresses the quality ; as, tha 'n dath so dearg, this colour is red.
The Comparative enlarges or diminishes the quality ; as, is e so dath is deirge, this is the redder colour.
The Superlative expresses the quality of an object in the highest degree ; as, is e so an dath is deirge dhiubh uile,
this is the reddest colour of them all.
* If a substantive feminine ends in n, and its adjective begins with d, there is no initial change in the adjective ; as, cailinn dubh,
mlmn donn.

Bodhar, deaf, Buirdhe. Boidheach, pretty, B6idhche.
Domhainn, deep, Doimhne. Odhar, sallow, Uidhre.
If the positive be characterized by i, the comparative is formed by adding e; as,

Pos. Comp. Pos. Comp.
Banail, modest, Banaile. Caoimhneil, kind, Caoimhneile.
Caomhail, kind, Caomhaile. Laidir, strong, Laidire.
If the positive end in o or uidhe, the positive and comparative are alike; as, beo, lively, comp. beo; buidhe,
yellow, comp. buidhe.
THE SUPERLATIVE DEGREE.
The superlative is like the comparative, and is followed by the preposition do or dhe, either simple, or compounded
with a pronoun.
Ro,fior, and sir, put before an adjective, answer respectively to the English very, truly, exceedingly. They always
throw the adjective into the aspirated form; as, ro mhath, very good; fior mhath, truly good ; sar mhath, exceeding good.
Comparatives and superlatives undergo no change in the termination.

* There is a double comparative, having the nature of both a substantive and adjective : it is formed from the comparative by changing
c into id; as, teoithe, hotter, teothid. Every adjective does not admit of this form of comparison.
THE GAELIC LANGUAGE. xix
OF PRONOUNS.
A Pronoun is a word put instead of a noun, to prevent the too frequent repetition thereof; as, tha Dia m6r; tha e
i ; tha e grasmhor ; tha e naomh.
There are six kinds of pronouns ; viz. the Personal, the Relative, the Adjective, the Interrogative, the Indefinite, and
the Compound pronouns.
PERSONAL PRONOUNS.
There are four personal pronouns ; they admit of Person, Gender, Number, and of a Simple and Emphatic form. A
personal pronoun is thrown into an emphatic form by the addition of so, or san, se, ne, to the simple form.
SIMPLE FORM.
Mi, mhi, V, the first person, "J Sinn, we, the first person, -j
Tu,* thu, thou, the second person, f . , Sibh.f you, the second person, > Plural.
fri6'Jfc } tiie *M v**' 3 ar Iad' 8iad' they' the third person'
EMPHATIC FORM.
Mise, mhise, /, the first person, "J Sinne, we, the first person, ~\
Tusa, thusa, thou, the second person, f . , Sibhse, you, the second person, > Plural.
Esa,
Ise, esan, he, )J the ...
_'sA<>; third, person, ji ' ladsa,, iadsan,. they,
-j, the third person,
i- . )
The forms of the personal pronoun governed by a transitive verb are,

Simple form. Emph. form. Simple form. Emph. form.
Mi, Mise, me, ~\ Sinn, Sinne, us, ~X
Thu, Thusa, thee, f Singular. Sibh, Sibhse, you, > Plural.
E, Esan, him, C lad, Iadsan, them, J
I, Ise, her, J
Note.That fein when added to a personal pronoun, is equivalent to the Latin syllabic adjection met, English self,
or selves ; mi fein, or mi fhein, myself; mise fein, my own self.
Thu fein, or thu fhein, thyself; thusa fein, thy own self.
E fein, or e fhein, himself; esan fein, his own self.
I fein, or i fhein, herself; ise fein, Aer otw seZ/".
Sinn ftin, or sinn fhein, ourselves ; sinne fein, our own selves.
Sibh fein, or sibh fhein, yourselves; sibhse fein, your own selves.
lad fein, or iad fhein, themselves ; iadsa fein, themselves.
Gender has respect only to the third person singular of the pronouns, e, i. E is masculine, t is feminine. There is
no neuter gender in Gaelic, as has been already observed.
RELATIVE PRONOUNS.
There are three relative pronouns, nam. a, who, which; gen. and dat. an; nach, who not, which not, that not; na,
that which.
ADJECTIVE PRONOUNS.
The adjective pronouns may be subdivided into the Possessive, the Demonstrative, and the Distributive.
I. The Possessive Pronouns are,
Mo, my, ~\ Ar, oar, 1
Do, thy, > Singular. Bhur, or ur, you, > Plural.
A, her, ) An, or am, their, )
These pronouns never have the emphatic syllable subjoined, like the personal pronouns; but when they agree with a
substantive, the emphatic form is expressed as follows :
Simple form. Emph. form. Simple form. Emph.form.
Mo cheann, Mo cheann-sa, "i Ar ceann, Ar ceann-ne, 1
Do cheann, Do cheann-sa, > Singular. Bhur, or ur ceann, Bhur, or ur ceann-sa. > Plural.
A cheann, A cheann-san, ) Ant ceann, An ceann-san. )
* The personal pronoun tu, thu, or thusa, is used in addressing our equals and our inferiors; and, what is remarkable, in our addresses
to the Supreme Being.
f Sibh, or tibiae, is commonly used when we address our superiors in age or in rank ; yet the second personal pronoun is beautifully
applied to majesty, and to people of very high rank.
J Am is used before words beginning with a labial not aspirated ; an is used before all other consonants, and before words begin-
with a vowel.
XX A GRAMMAR OF
If the substantive be followed by an adjective, the emphatic adjection is put after the adjective only ; and if it be fol
lowed by more adjectives than one, the adjection is put after the last ; as,
Do ghnuis bh6idheach-sa, thy pretty face.
Do lamh bh6idheach gheal-sa, thy pretty white hand.
Do phiuthair gaoil-sa, thy beloved sister.
Before a vowel or f aspirated, mo and do are written with an apostrophe ; as, m' athair, my father ; d' ainm, thy name.
II. The Demonstrative Pronouns are three, so, sin, sud or ud; so, this; sin, that; sud* or ud, yon, yonder.
III. The Distributive Pronouns are, gach, each, every ; gach uile, contracted chuile, or h-uile, every ; a cheile, each
other.
INTERROGATIVE PRONOUNS.
The interrogative pronouns are, co ? who ? cia ? which ? ciod ? what ? and nach, which is used when a question is
put in a negative form.
INDEFINITE PRONOUNS.
The indefinite pronouns express their subjects in a general manner ; the following are of this description :
Cach, the rest, Cia b' e, whoever.
Cuid, some, Cia b' e air bith, whoever.
Cuid eile, some others, Co air bith, whoever.
Eigin, some, Ciod air bith, whatever.
Eile, other.
COMPOUND PRONOUNS.
The personal pronouns in Gaelic are often found combined with prepositions, which generally govern different
cases ; and, in that state, they form a part of speech which may be termed Compound Pronouns. The prepositions which
are capable of being thus united, are the following: aig or ag, at; air, on; ann, in; as, out of; de, off; do, to; eadar,
between; to, fodha, or fuidh, under ; gu, till; le, with; mu, about; o or ua, from; ri, to; roimh, before; thar, over;
troimh, through. The syllabic adjections, as has been said, throw the pronouns into the emphatic form.
AG, or AIG, at. AIR, on.

OF THE VERB.
A Verb expresses action, being, or suffering.

In Gaelic there are two conjugations. The first comprehends all those verbs which begin with any consonant,
except /; as, paisg, wrap. Under the second are arranged those which begin with a vowel or with f; as, 6b, refuse :
W,fotd.
The Gaelic verb is declined by Voices, Moods, Tenses, Numbers, and Persons.
There are two Voices ; Active and Passive.
The different particles of conjunction and adverb in Gaelic might give rise to a variety of moods, but they may be
reduced into the five following: The Affirmative, or Indicative, the Negative, or Interrogative, the Subjunctive, or
Optative, the Imperative, and the Infinitive.
There are three times or tenses ; the Present, Preterite, and Future.
There are two numbers ; Singular and Plural.
There are three persons ; First, Second, and Third.
Verbs, like nouns, are inflected by aspirating the initial consonant, and by an occasional change of termination.
We also say, An t-aonfear 'orfhichead, an darafear 'arfhichead, an treasfear 'arfhichead, he.

t We also say, An t~aon chlach 'arfhichead, an dura clach 'arfhichead, an treas clach 'arJhichcad, &c

* Dean, do, or make, and rach, go, are often used as auxiliary verbs; as, dean luidhe, lie down ; dean seasamh, stand;' literally,
make a lie down ; make a stand ; chaidh mo chreachadh, I was plundered, i. e. my plundering is gone or past ; rachadh mo bhualadh, J would
be struck, i. e. the striking of me would have passed or happened. These auxiliaries are declinable with all the conjunctive and adverbial
particles.
f Am bheil is, almost always, pronounced 'm bheil or bheil; in some districts of the Highlands, as in Badenoch, they say am beil.
I 'Eil for bheil. After the conjunctive particles cha, nach, mur, bheil is written 'eil ; and in order to separate the two vowels, and also
to prevent an hiatus, we insert the letter n, and write elm 'n 'eil, rather than cha 'eil.

IMPERSONAL VERBS.
The Preterite Affirmative of Neuter Verbs, and the Future of the Negative or Interrogative Mood of Active Verbs,
are often used impersonally ; as, gkuileadh, buailear, gluaisear, faicear, faighear. Any verb used in this way may be
declined with the compound pronoun learn, through all its persons ; yet it is not accounted so elegant to express the
pronoun, as to leave it to be supplied according to the sense of the context. The impersonal verbs are used after this
manner.

PROSODY.
The great excellence of any language consists in the power which its sounds possess, of communicating certain im
pressions or meanings.
The Gaelic, being a branch of the primeval tongue, has this quality in a far superior degree to any language, the
structure of which is concocted or complex. It is a language of nature ; and its sounds may be truly said to be echoes
to the sense. Hence arises its success in descriptive poetry, and in all its addresses to the passions. When the nature
of the object described is harsh and hard, sounds of a similar kind are employed, which impel their meaning to the mind,
by noisy, hard-sounding consonants : whereas, in subjects of tenderness, solemnity, or of mournful interest, scarcely is any
sound perceived, but the music of mellow vowels and diphthongs.
Mr. Shaw, to whose ill-requited labour the Gaelic owes a great deal, observes correctly, that the combinations ai, ei,
are cheerful and soft; and ao, solemn. He might have added that oi, ao, aoi, are significant of softness and affection, and
ui, ua, uai, of sadness. Among the consonants, 11 is soft and mild ; so is the gentle aspiration mh, as in caomh, mild ;
seimli, quiet ; cr, dr, and tr, are hard, loud, and violent.
VERSIFICATION.
The Gaelic Bards had peculiar facilities in composing ; as they were not restrained by any fixed law of verse. A
termination of lines by similar letters was never deemed requisite ; for, if the closing syllable, or the penult of corresponding
lines, were somewhat similar in sound, it was reckoned sufficient for the purposes of rhyme, and was all that they usuallv
aimed at
The following Verses exemplify this Remark.
Thug an deise do Ainnir gaol,
Ach air Goll bha 'gorm-shuil chaoin,
B' e cuis a h-aisling anns an oidhche,
'S cuis a caoidh mu 'n chaochan choillteach.
Cha b' ionnan is Garna na gruamaich,
Mar lasair 's an toit ag a cuartach.'Oss. Cathluno.
Another method of rhyme consisted in a conformity of sound between the last word, or part of the last word, of a
foregoing verse, and some word, or part of a word, about the middle of the following.
Ciod am fa bhi 'g udal cuain,
Is eilean faar na geotha crom,
A sgaoileadh a sgiath na'r coinneamh.
Gu 'r dion o dhoinionn na h-oidhche. Ullin.
Mar dha bheum sleibh o 'n fhireack
Le cheile a sireadh gu gleanntai. - Oss.
lxiv A GRAMMAR OF
Sometimes there is a conformity of sound between the last word of a foregoing verse, and a word in the beginning of
the following.
Cha do thuit e gun chliu san draich,
Bu ghabhaidh le moran 'imeachd ;
Mar thorunn ro' choillte, no mar dhealan,
'G a falach an deigh an leir-sgrios.Ardar.
In some stanzas of four lines, there is sometimes observed a double conformity ; that is, in the concluding words of
each couplet, and in other words throughout the preceding line of every couplet. This kind of verse possesses great
beauty.

MEASURE.
The poetry of the ancient Gael, as it has come down to us, resembles that of the present day, in its setting every law
of scanning at defiance. Ossian, and the poets of his time, adapted their compositions to the song ; in other words, they
set them to music : and there seem to be but two suppositions on which we can account for the irregularity of their verses.
Either the music itself must have been very anomalous, or, the strains having been forgotten, and thus the guides to
uniformity lost, the poems must have suffered from the liberties which had been, taken with them, by the rehearsers of
succeeding ages. I am inclined to think, however, that the music was simple and uniform, and that the poetry was
correctly adapted thereto. However irregular the music may be imagined to have been ; as the bards must have
accurately set their verses to it, there would be observable in their poems a regular recurrence of similar irregularities.
This is not the case. The anomaly of their verses must, therefore, be owing to the reciting Bards, who, in some parts,
suffered words and turns of expression to fall into oblivion through their indolence ; and introduced, in others, expressions
which their own conceit informed them were superior to the original ; for there never yet was a poet so transcendently
good, that a worse did not suppose himself in many respects better.
Add to this, that the language was pronounced differently in different districts, and at different periods of time ; yet
in these abused fragments of ancient poetrythese remains of Ossian's ruins, we have numberless displays of the might
and magnificence of his genius.
Notwithstanding the freedoms which have been taken with the works of the Fingalian poet, they afford numberless
examples of correct and measured rhymes ; and this circumstance affords a strong presumption that the rhyme, or at least
the measure of the poetry, was uniform and regular throughout.
The verses of the Fingalian poets seldom exceed eight syllables ; and most frequently the second foot and the third
are dactyles, with a short syllable at the beginning of the verse, and a long syllable, or a trochee at the end.

The ancient poems published by Dr. Smith of Campbelton, are still more irregular in their measure than those
collected by Macpherson ; it being seldom that the same measure applies to four successive lines. They cannot be
scanned, therefore, by any set of rules I can devise. In one of these poems, entitled Conn, there is preserved a wild
effusion an incantation of the Scandinavian priests. It consists of five stanzas of four lines each. The last line of each
staff has six syllables, consisting of a short syllable, a dactyle, and a trochee ; the rest four, consisting of a trochee and a
pyrrhic.

Macintyre, our Burns, an uninstructed shepherd, and a man of extraordinary talents for poetry, wrote pieces which
may stand comparison with the pastoral and descriptive poetry of any land or age. As the structure of some of them is
peculiar, a view of their measure may not here be unacceptable, or misplaced. His best poems are Coire Cheathaich, Beinn
Dobhrain, and Mairi Bhan bg. The first of these is divided into strophes of eight verses each ; but they might have been
more judiciously arranged in stanzas of four lines. The measure repeats at every second line. There is, moreover, in
every first line, a conformity of sound between the first syllable of the second and third foot ; and in the second line,
between the first syllable of the second, and the middle of the third, foot. This poem may be scanned by an amphybrach
and trochee alternately on the first line ; the second line is the same, excepting that it terminates with a long syllable.

Beinn Dobhrain is similar in measure to a much older poem, entitled, Moladh Mhbraig. It contains three distinct
measures : first, the urlar ; secondly, siubhal, quicker than the urlar ; and thirdly, criln-luath, the most rapid of the three.
These terms are taken from corresponding strains in piobaireachd. The first stanza, urlar, consists of spondees and dactyles.

I shall conclude this exemplification of Gaelic verse with one of those famous songs of incitement to battle, called,
Brosnachadh. catha. These songs were not all precisely in the same measure ; but they were all quick, rapid, and ani
mating, descriptive of hurried movements, activity, and exertion. The whole song measures like the first staff.
