Na Cluichí Oilimpeacha ó A go Z (An Olympics Alphabet in Irish) Posted by róislín on Aug 16, 2016
(le Róislín) Since de réir aibítre is a fun and convenient way to look at the information about almost any topic, I figured an A to Z guide to the Olympics would be a useful and timely blogpost. Tricky thing, though, is that 8 letters of the English alphabet are not traditionally part of aibítir…

(le Róislín) This blogpost will be the last in this mini-series (mionsraith), but there could be much more, since the article we’re glossing, “Saoirí Samhraidh,” le Liam Ó Muirthile (An Peann Coitianta), is so rich with idiomatically written Irish.

The Irish word for ‘October’ and other words related to ‘fómhar’ and ‘fómhair’ Posted by róislín on Oct 6, 2014
(le Róislín) In some previous blogs (naisc thíos), we’ve looked at the names of the months (míonna) and seasons (séasúir) in Irish, including a discussion specifically of “September” and “October.” So let’s try a little mixing and matching for review of “September,” “October,” and the Fall or Autumn season.
