as, tighinn, coming; saillte, salted. When aspirated, it
sounds like h in him ; as, thainig, came. It is silent in the
middle of words, in the end of long syllables, in some
tenses of certain verbs irregular, and in thu and thusa; as,
maitheas, , goodness ; maoth, ^en</e; an d'thainig thu? art
thou come ?

aran truagh, a poor solitary being am I. — Oss. Taura. An
