# Various words of this kind are to be met
with in old Gaelic books, as “ saoidhbhreas,*'
wealth; “ aoidhbhneas,” joy, <fcc. The quies¬
cent consonants dh and 6A, in all such words,
have long since been rejected by Dr Smith
and others—this word alone excepted; thus
rendering it, without any good reason, the
most repulsive combination of letters now in
the language.
