By early October, the maisi\u00fach\u00e1in<\/strong> and cultacha<\/strong> are already in full force sna siopa\u00ed<\/strong>.\u00a0 C\u00e9ard at\u00e1 plean\u00e1ilte agatsa faoi choinne O\u00edche Shamhna<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

We’ve talked about cultacha<\/strong> (costumes) previously in this blog, but this would be a good time to review some of the traditional ones.\u00a0 And to find out if you’ve got any zany or off-beat costume ideas up your sleeve for this year.<\/p>\n

By the way, the Irish for “sleeve” is interesting — “muinchille<\/strong>.”\u00a0 Totally unlike the English, clearly, but not so far from\u00a0 the Latin “manica<\/em>” and its derivatives like “manche<\/em>” in French, “manica<\/em>” in Italian (unchanged from the Latin), and ” m\u00e0niga<\/em>” in Catalan.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Actually browsing through some dictionaries in a variety of languages, it looks like there are about 50 terms for types of sleeves and a good handful of expressions about them.\u00a0 Can we find them all in Irish?\u00a0 Bhuel, \u00e1bhar blag eile<\/strong>!\u00a0 But just a reminder here that Irish vocabulary is sometimes closer to Latin than to English.<\/p>\n

And now, back to “O\u00edche Shamhna<\/strong>,” with traditional costumes and a “banc focal<\/strong>” to match them with.\u00a0 The freagra\u00ed <\/strong>are th\u00edos<\/strong>, with a few pronunciation tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

  4. dra\u00edod\u00f3ir<\/strong><\/li>\n

  6. pior\u00e1id<\/strong><\/li>\n
  7. vaimp\u00edr<\/strong><\/li>\n
  8. drongad\u00f3ir (go minic le tod\u00f3g sa bh\u00e9al, tod\u00f3g chanda\u00ed, is d\u00f3cha, m\u00e1s amhlaidh go raibh p\u00e1ist\u00ed i gceist)<\/strong><\/li>\n
  9. cn\u00e1mharlach<\/strong><\/li>\n
  10. banphrionsa<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Of course, to judge by a lot of the costumes for young girls today, it would be 1) banphrionsa, 2) banphrionsa, 3) banphrionsa, 4) banphrionsa, 5) banphrionsa, 6) banphrionsa, 7) banphrionsa, 8) banphrionsa, 9) banphrionsa<\/strong>, and 10) banphrionsa. \u00a0Bhuel, sin \u00e9 an saol!<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Maidir le cultacha neamhghn\u00e1cha<\/strong> (as for offbeat costumes), I remember someone once who went as a night-table (c\u00f3ifr\u00edn cois leapa<\/strong>, lit. bedside table), complete with lamp.\u00a0 The table part was fitted around the waist, and had a few night-tabley odds and ends fastened to it:\u00a0 clog, leabhar, sp\u00e9acla\u00ed, agus ruda\u00ed mar sin<\/strong>.\u00a0 If it were today, there would be a f\u00f3n p\u00f3ca<\/strong>, no doubt.\u00a0 Bh\u00ed sc\u00e1thl\u00e1n lampa mar hata ar cheann an duine.\u00a0 Sin ceann suimi\u00fail amh\u00e1in.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Bliain amh\u00e1in rinne mise culaith “mac t\u00edre in \u00e9ada\u00ed caorach,” <\/strong>or as the slightly more traditional Irish expression goes, “i gcraiceann caorach<\/strong>.”\u00a0 In my case, though, it really was more like “\u00e9ada\u00ed<\/strong>,” since the outer part of the costume was a c\u00f3ta craiceann caorach (br\u00e9ige, ar nd\u00f3igh, n\u00ed maith liom c\u00f3ta fionnaidh de shaghas ar bith).\u00a0 Bh\u00ed \u00e9ifeachta\u00ed fuaime (glamanna mic t\u00edre agus m\u00e9ileach chaorach) san \u00e1ireamh, ar chais\u00e9ad<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    C\u00e9ard f\u00fatsa?\u00a0 An mbeidh culaith O\u00edche Shamhna ort i mbliana?\u00a0 M\u00e1s amhlaidh go mbeidh, c\u00e9n s\u00f3rt?\u00a0 C\u00e9ard \u00ed an chulaith O\u00edche Shamhna is aist\u00ed n\u00f3 is greannmhaire a bhfuil cuimhne agat uirthi?\u00a0 Ag tn\u00fath le d’fhreagra\u00ed\u00a0 — R\u00f3isl\u00edn<\/strong><\/p>\n

    PS: We’ll return to the “ainmneacha planda\u00ed” (luibhainmneacha)<\/strong> series, at some point, but October does give us a lot of nice Halloween and related topics to discuss.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

    Gluais: \u00a0cn\u00e1mharlach<\/strong>, skeleton; craiceann<\/strong>, skin; fionnaidh<\/strong>, of fur; fuaime<\/strong>, of sound; glam<\/strong>, a howl; m\u00e9ileach<\/strong>, bleating; maidir le<\/strong>, regarding; m\u00e1s amhlaidh<\/strong>, if thus; san \u00e1ireamh<\/strong>, in the account, in the counting, here the sense is “complete with” (complete with sound effects); tod\u00f3g<\/strong>, cigar<\/p>\n

    m\u00e1s amhlaidh go mbeidh<\/strong>, if it is thus that there will be (i.e. “if so”), a longish phrase since we can’t link “m\u00e1<\/strong>” (if) directly with “b(h)eidh<\/strong>” (will be)<\/p>\n

      5a. s\u00e1rlaoch, superhero [say “sawrrr<\/sup>-laykh” or “sawrrr<\/sup>-leekh,” that’s “aw” similar to English “paw” or “law,” not, for any Welsh speakers, like Welsh “awr” or “llawr”]<\/p>\n
