So, right, you probably assumed that \u201cLITCELA\u201d is a jumbled word, and that is correct.\u00a0 It needs to be unjumbled for this blog.\u00a0 It\u2019s just a comhtharl\u00fa deas<\/strong> that it might happen to suggest \u201clitr\u00edocht<\/strong>\u201d and \u201cCeilteach<\/strong>.\u201d But, of course, I could have jumbled it many different ways, and for some strange reason, that one just jumped out at me.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Oh, did I forget to mention?\u00a0 After you unjumble \u201cLITCELA,\u201d it still needs to be translated from Irish into English to get the name of a popular American TV show whose main event happened on this day and month (22 Me\u00e1n F\u00f3mhair<\/strong>) but in the year 2004.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If the unjumbling is proving to be a challenge, maybe the following will help:<\/p>\n

  1. T\u00e1 an chuid is m\u00f3 den chl\u00e1r suite ar oile\u00e1n.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. T\u00e1 tuairte\u00e1il eitle\u00e1in i gceist.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Got it?<\/p>\n

    I haven\u2019t forgotten the Irish literature connection, by the way.\u00a0 Just waiting to establish the groundwork here.\u00a0 One of the books depicted in the show is a delightfully surreal novel (in English) by the Irish author Flann O\u2019Brien, who also wrote in Irish under the ainm cleite<\/strong> of \u201cMyles na gCopaleen.\u201d \u00a0Of his Irish language writings, the most notable is the satirical novel, An B\u00e9al Bocht <\/em>(The Poor Mouth).\u00a0 .<\/em><\/p>\n

    An cuimhin leat c\u00e9n leabhar at\u00e1 i gceist agam?<\/strong>\u00a0 If not, here are some more leideanna<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    1.. Th\u00e1inig s\u00e9 amach sa bhliain 1967 ach scr\u00edobhadh \u00e9 i 1940.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    2.. T\u00e1 an t-ainmfhocal \u201cp\u00f3il\u00edn\u201d sa teideal (i mB\u00e9arla, ar nd\u00f3igh).\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

    Anois suirbh\u00e9 beag de l\u00e9itheoir\u00ed an bhlag seo, m\u00e1s mian leat \u00e9 a l\u00edonadh:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

    1. An bhfaca t\u00fa an t-eipeas\u00f3d a bhfuil an leabhar seo le feice\u00e1il ann? (Chonaic \/ N\u00ed fhaca)<\/strong><\/li>\n
    2. Ar l\u00e9igh t\u00fa an leabhar ina dhiadh sin? (L\u00e9igh \/ n\u00edor l\u00e9igh)<\/strong><\/li>\n
    3. An raibh an leabhar l\u00e9ite agat cheana f\u00e9in? (Bh\u00ed \/ N\u00ed raibh)<\/strong><\/li>\n
    4. M\u00e1 t\u00e1 s\u00e9 l\u00e9ite agat, an bhfeiceann t\u00fa cos\u00falacht idir an leabhar agus t\u00e9ama an chl\u00e1ir?\u00a0 An f\u00e9idir leat cur s\u00edos air sin, i nGaeilge n\u00f3 i mB\u00e9arla?\u00a0 (sna <\/strong>\u201ccomments\u201d) <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Freagra don manglam<\/strong> (jumble): Caillte<\/strong> (Lost).\u00a0 C\u00e9n leabhar at\u00e1 i gceist anseo<\/strong>: The Third Policeman<\/em><\/p>\n

      Gluais:<\/strong> cheana f\u00e9in, already; cos\u00falacht, similarity; cur s\u00edos, to describe; ina dhiaidh sin, after that; le feice\u00e1il, to be seen, p\u00f3il\u00edn, policeman; suite, set, situated; tuairte\u00e1il, crash<\/p>\n

      By the way, if \u201cunjumble\u201d strikes you as an unusual word in English, all I can say is I\u2019ve seen it used in textbooks teaching the Irish language.\u00a0<\/p>\n

      Hope you enjoyed this one. \u00a0Bhain mise sult as an sraith ar an teilif\u00eds, as an leabhar (a bh\u00ed l\u00e9ite agam sula bhfaca m\u00e9 an cl\u00e1r), agus as a bheith ag scr\u00edobh an bhlag seo.\u00a0 Feicfidh m\u00e9 i saol eile th\u00fa! <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
