But before we get further into types of ships, let\u2019s look at the basic word for \u201cship\u201d in Irish (as opposed to \u201cb\u00e1d<\/strong>,\u201d a boat).<\/p>\n

an long<\/strong>, the ship<\/p>\n

loinge<\/strong>, of (a) ship (dialann loinge<\/strong>, ship\u2019s logbook; or, if you like a longer grammatically more complex challenge: tionscadal mhacasamhail na loinge \u00f3n nGorta M\u00f3r<\/strong>, replica famine-ship project)<\/p>\n

na loinge<\/strong>, of the ship (Glaoigh ar chomplacht na loinge!<\/strong>\u00a0 Call the ship\u2019s hands!, lit. the ship\u2019s company)<\/p>\n

longa<\/strong>, ships (longa arda<\/strong>, tall ships)<\/p>\n

long<\/strong>, of ships (t\u00f3g\u00e1la\u00ed long<\/strong>, ship builder, lit. builder of ships)<\/p>\n

na long<\/strong>, of the ships (Tiob\u00f3id na Long<\/strong>, Tiob\u00f3id\/Tibbot of the Ships, nickname of Theobald Bourke, who was born at sea in 1567, the son of Grace O\u2019Malley, the \u201cpirate queen\u201d)<\/p>\n

Of course there\u2019s also \u201cb\u00e1d loinge<\/strong>\u201d (a ship\u2019s boat)! And one more homonym alert!\u00a0 As you might expect, there is another family of words in Irish with the same spelling.\u00a0 This word family includes: \u201clong<\/strong>\u201d (cavity, gullet, swallow-hole in bog), \u201clongadh\u201d<\/strong> (to swallow, to consume), and \u201clongach<\/strong>\u201d (gluttonous, or \u201cquaking\u201d as in a \u201cquaking bog\u201d).<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, as for cine\u00e1lacha long<\/strong>, here are a few, with a few cine\u00e1lacha b\u00e1d<\/strong> mixed in as well:<\/p>\n

b\u00e1d farant\u00f3ireachta<\/strong>, a ferry<\/p>\n

clip\u00e9ar<\/strong>, a clipper<\/p>\n

h\u00faic\u00e9ir<\/strong>, a hooker<\/p>\n

long cheannaigh<\/strong>, a merchant ship (aka long thr\u00e1d\u00e1la) <\/strong><\/p>\n

long fhada<\/strong>, a longship or galley<\/p>\n

long ghlanta doirt\u00ed ola<\/strong>, a depolluting ship<\/p>\n

long Lochlannach<\/strong>, a Viking ship<\/p>\n

long foghlaithe<\/strong>, a pirate ship<\/p>\n

p\u00fac\u00e1n<\/strong>, a fishing smack<\/p>\n

scif (pl: scifeanna), <\/strong>a skiff<\/p>\n

tramp, (pl: trampanna<\/strong>, in case you\u2019re wondering) tramp, tramp steamer<\/p>\n

and the smallest of all that I know of, curach aonair (na cinn at\u00e1 in \u00fas\u00e1id sa Bhreatain Bheag, n\u00ed sa bhfarraige ach sna haibhneacha, iad gann anois, ach ann; iad cruinn, n\u00ed i gcruth naomh\u00f3ige). \u00a0Curach\u00edn Reepicheep an ceann is l\u00fa riamh, is d\u00f3cha.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Anyway, here\u2019s what my fairly non-nautical self thinks about the ship in the tattoo.\u00a0 But, as you can see, I scrambled up the letters.\u00a0 So when you\u2019ve got it unscrambled, please do write in and let us know if this is the correct type of boat.\u00a0 And if not, c\u00e9n s\u00f3rt loinge \u00ed?<\/strong><\/p>\n

N\u00edtcr\u00e1bini<\/strong><\/p>\n

My limited seafaring knowledge suggests that this ship doesn\u2019t actually have a seol jibe<\/strong> (jib sail), since na seolta jibe<\/strong> are triant\u00e1nach, nach bhfuil<\/strong>?\u00a0 But to use the phrase go f\u00edortha<\/strong>, what can you tell from the cut of her jib?\u00a0 An m\u00e9id den <\/strong>\u201cjib\u201d is f\u00e9idir linn a fheice\u00e1il \u00f3n tat\u00fa, ar a laghad<\/strong>. \u00a0SGF, R\u00f3isl\u00edn<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gluais: aonair<\/strong>, (for\/of) one person; ar a laghad<\/strong>, at least; cruth<\/strong>, shape; gann<\/strong>, scarce; is l\u00fa<\/strong>, smallest; naomh\u00f3g, <\/strong>used for the more pointed\/oblongish-shaped curach <\/strong>typical in Ireland, and also more recently used for canoe, although that seems to me to be misleading; riamh<\/strong>, ever; tionscadal<\/strong>, project; triant\u00e1nach<\/strong>, triangular<\/p>\n
