Lewisisms :

it (Lewis).
amhran—song (Lewis and Irish).
gardachas—rejoicing (Lewis form of “ gairdeachas.”).
duirt—the least word (Lewis).
iolagain—“sud na seoid an iolagain a cheile,” “ the
heroes set about each other ” (Lewis),
rioladh—sifted (Lewis).
riasach—streaked, smudged, dirty; figuratively,
wretched, untidy, undignified (Lewis),
coiste—committee (Irish).
Cairraighe—County Kerry.
comharradh na h-anala—mark of aspiration (Irish),
eolas fuaimnidheachd—science of phonetics (Irish),
bho chin fhada (bho ehionn fhada)—long ago (Lewis).
