* it is stated at page 14S1 Note 42, in an appendix to
the " Oiẃe cliLomne Cun\e>Min," publislied by M. H.
Gill and Son, 1SS8, that tlie cojupound words ledc-p^p
(pronounced LeAc-A)--c-]'i<\n), westwards ; LeAC-ceoi)-
(leoic-<.\i'-ceAi-), south ward^; Leo^c-cuck1ü^Le^^c-<i)■-cuAn5),
northward ; and Le<xc-fûi)\ (Leoic-ẃi--c-|-om), eastwards,
liave " entirely disappeared " from the modern Irish lan-
guage ; and that "northwards, southwaids, òcc., are
expressed ó cuiig, o ■oeAj", òcc." This groundless and
misleading assertion should not be allowed to remain
uncorrected, fur the forms leA6-<\]'-c-]'iŵi\, &c., are in
common use among the Irish-speaking population at the
present day in West Muuster, and we find these words
even in the writings of our best modern poets. 1 will give
some instances. The first is a translation of a part of
Samuel Lover's song, " The Land of the West," by the
celebrated Irish scholar, the translator of the " Imitation
of Christ " : —
