P\u00e9 sc\u00e9al \u00e9, t\u00e1 m\u00e9 anseo inniu le bheith ag caint faoi chn\u00e1mha hi\u00f3ideacha.<\/strong>\u00a0 (Anyway, I’m here today to talk about hyoid bones).<\/p>\n

Fada \u00f3 shin l\u00e9igh \u00fadar an bhlag seo nach raibh cn\u00e1mh hi\u00f3ideach ach ag daoine agus ag N\u00e9andeart\u00e1laigh.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But looking further into this situation, she finds that various animals do have hyoid bones.\u00a0 It’s just the position of the bone in relation to “an laraing<\/strong>” and “an teanga<\/strong>” that makes the difference in the ability to speak.<\/p>\n

C\u00e9n f\u00e1th?\u00a0 T\u00e1 cn\u00e1mh hi\u00f3ideach an duine r\u00e9as\u00fanta \u00edseal i muine\u00e1l an duine agus is \u00e9 an su\u00edomh sin a thugann cumas labhartha do dhaoine.\u00a0 Sna mamaigh eile a bhfuil cn\u00e1mh hi\u00f3ideach acu t\u00e1 an chn\u00e1mh suite r\u00f3-ard don chumas labhartha.\u00a0 Fi\u00fa i na\u00edon\u00e1in dhaonna, b\u00edonn an chn\u00e1mh hi\u00f3ideach suite r\u00f3-ard agus mar sin n\u00ed bh\u00edonn an strucht\u00far acu a bheith \u00e1balta labhairt go dt\u00ed go n-\u00edsl\u00edonn an chn\u00e1mh hi\u00f3ideach agus an laraing.\u00a0 De ghn\u00e1th tosa\u00edonn sin ag tarl\u00fa nuair at\u00e1 an na\u00edon\u00e1n thart f\u00e1 thr\u00ed mh\u00ed d’aois.\u00a0 Ar nd\u00f3igh, ag an aois sin, plubaireacht <\/strong>(babbling) is m\u00f3 at\u00e1 ann, n\u00ed focail idirdhealaithe le cialla cruinne.\u00a0 Ach t\u00e1 an t-infreastrucht\u00far ann don chumas labhartha, le n-\u00fas\u00e1id nuair a bh\u00edonn an fhorbairt chogna\u00edoch r\u00e9idh.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If the human hyoid bone didn’t descend in the way it does, people wouldn’t be able to speak.\u00a0 They would only be able to make sounds, like hooting (scr\u00e9ach<\/strong>), grunting (gn\u00fasacht<\/strong>), and gabbling (glagaireacht<\/strong>).\u00a0 \u00a0Of course, as canines, we don’t have speech either, except for a few literary or filmic exceptions, like Martha, of Martha Speaks;<\/em>\u00a0Astro, of The Jetsons;<\/em>\u00a0Scooby-Doo, of, well, Scooby-Doo<\/em>, or Shadow and Chance of Homeward Bound<\/em> (the 1993 remake of The Incredible Journey<\/em>).\u00a0 But we do have plenty of ways of being expressive.<\/p>\n

Is f\u00e9idir linn:<\/strong><\/p>\n

tafann<\/strong> (bark)<\/p>\n

sceamh a ligea<\/strong>n (yelp)<\/p>\n

geona\u00edl<\/strong> (whimper)<\/p>\n

drannt\u00e1n a chur asainn<\/strong> (growl),<\/p>\n

drannadh<\/strong> (snarl), agus ar nd\u00f3igh,<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00e1r s\u00faile tochtmhara<\/strong> (our soulful eyes), su\u00edomh \u00e1r gcluas<\/strong> (the position of our ears), agus \u00e1r rubaill a l\u00e9ir\u00edonn \u00e1r ngi\u00famar, ag croitheadh go haigeanta n\u00f3 in\u00e1r ngabhail againn<\/strong> (nuair a mhotha\u00edonn muid<\/strong> “hangdog”)<\/p>\n

An bhfuil m\u00f3r\u00e1n difr\u00edochta idir “drannt\u00e1n” agus “drannadh” mar fhocail?\u00a0 N\u00edl a fhios agam.\u00a0 Ceist do na teangeolaithe agus do na hiompraithe ainmhithe \u00ed sin.<\/strong><\/p>\n

To conclude, what I’ve found out so far is that we dogs do have cn\u00e1mha hi\u00f3ideacha<\/strong>, but they’re not positioned in the right place for speech as humans know it.\u00a0 But enough of this anatomical analysis.\u00a0 I’m catching a whiff of a cn\u00e1mh dheas bhlasta le neart fola uirthi agus a l\u00e1n solamair inti<\/strong>.\u00a0 Sl\u00e1n go f\u00f3ill agus m\u00e1s f\u00e9idir leat ainm Gaeilge a mholadh dom, bheadh mise agus m’\u00fain\u00e9ir bu\u00edoch d\u00edot.\u00a0 –\u00a0 Madra gan ainm agus R\u00f3isl\u00edn<\/strong><\/p>\n
