AIMSIRE
CALLUINN A BHUILG
[63]
Cali.uinen Ho ! — This rune is still repeated in the Isles. Rarely, however, do
two persons recite it alike. This renders it difiBcult to decide the right form of
the words.
The walls of the old houses in the West are very thick — from five to eight
feet. There are no gables, the walls being of uniform height throughout. The
roof of the house being raised from the inner edge of the wall, a broad terrace
is left on the outside. Two or three stones project from the walJ at the door,
forming steps. On these the inmates ascend for purposes of thatching and
securing the roof in time of storm.
