By the way, lately I\u2019ve noticed a lot of references online to Rudolph as being \u201cdearg<\/strong>-nosed,\u201d using a hybrid Irish-English word.\u00a0 I can\u2019t say that I\u2019ve ever heard anyone use this word in real life, anymore than I\u2019ve ever heard\u00a0anyone say \u201cred-sr\u00f3nach<\/strong>.\u201d\u00a0 Or would that be \u201cred-shr\u00f3nach<\/strong>.\u201d\u00a0 Hmmm, would the d-n-t-l-s rule actually apply if the first part of the word is English?\u00a0 At any rate, a lot of these sites also refer to \u201cA Brown Charlie Nollag<\/strong>\u201d [sic, yes, exactly like that, which doesn\u2019t really make sense in either language \u2013 why put \u201cBrown\u201d before \u201cCharlie\u201d and why change \u201cNollaig<\/strong>\u201d to \u201cNollag<\/strong>,\u201d (putting it into the genitive case)?\u00a0 If \u201cCharlie Brown,\u201d or even \u201cBrown Charlie\u201d is meant to be an adjective, or a possessor, it should come after \u201cNollaig.\u201d\u00a0 Aistrithe ag meais\u00edn, b\u2019fh\u00e9idir?]\u00a0 Aisteach, nach ea?<\/strong> (Strange, isn’t it?)<\/p>\n

But speaking of ways of describing noses, deer or otherwise, the remaining part of the questionnaire will be in the next blog.\u00a0 We\u2019ll talk about types ranging from \u201cb\u00e1nsr\u00f3nach\u201d <\/strong>to \u201csciansocach,\u201d <\/strong>and where you might find them.\u00a0 Maybe even a little \u201cSleeper\u201d digression!\u00a0 Sr\u00f3n f\u00e1na sci\u00e1la?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n
