Continuing with our “neacha neamhshaolta<\/strong>” vocabulary, here are some more words from the recent blogposts (naisc th\u00edos<\/strong>), together with some synonyms:<\/p>\n

aint\u00e9ine<\/strong>: antenna, pl: aint\u00e9in\u00ed<\/strong>, for animals, but for radio or television reception, there is a different word, “aer\u00f3g<\/strong>” (more like “aerial”).\u00a0 Both aint\u00e9in\u00ed<\/strong> and aer\u00f3g<\/strong>a can be “inghiorraithe<\/strong>” (retractable).<\/p>\n

lonrach<\/strong>: luminescent, also means “bright” (typically “geal<\/strong>“), shining (also “dealraitheach<\/strong>” or “taitneamhach<\/strong>“) or resplendent (also “dealraitheach<\/strong>,” once again, and “niamhrach<\/strong>” and “taibhseach<\/strong>“).\u00a0 “Lonraig<\/strong>h,” the verb, means “shine” or “illumine.”<\/p>\n

leath-thr\u00e9dhearcach<\/strong> (one of my new favorite words in Irish): The hyphen is because the prefix “leath<\/strong>” ends in “th” and the “tr\u00e9<\/strong>” of \u201dtr\u00e9dhearcach<\/strong>” gets lenited following “leath<\/strong>,” so it starts with “th.” \u00a0And then the “tr\u00e9<\/strong>” triggers lenition of “dearcach<\/strong>.” \u00a0I haven’t seen “dearcach<\/strong>” used that much on its own.\u00a0 A related word, “dearcadh<\/strong>” means “sight” or “view.”\u00a0 “Dearcach<\/strong>” has two basic meanings: “far-seeing” (although “far-sighted” or “long-sighted” is usually “fadradharcac<\/strong>h” or “fadamharcach<\/strong>“) and “considerate” (often “tuisceanach” or “cine\u00e1lta<\/strong>“).\u00a0 It is used in at least one other \u00a0compound word, “iardhearcach<\/strong>” (retrospective).<\/p>\n

iomaire<\/strong>: ridge (typically for agriculture, as opposed to the ridge of a roof, which may be “mullach<\/strong>” or “c\u00edor mhullaigh<\/strong>” or “buaic<\/strong>“).\u00a0\u00a0 The surname “Mac an Iomaire<\/strong>” (Ridge) is related but a near lookalike isn’t, as far as I can tell, Mac Con Iomaire<\/strong> (Montgomery).\u00a0 Good luck telling them apart aurally, by the way — try saying them out loud to see what I mean.<\/p>\n

g\u00edreas<\/strong>:\u00a0 ridge, in the brain (not in agriculture). \u00a0Never let it be said that vocabulary is a finite phenomenon.\u00a0 Irish has a separate word for ridges in the brain, closely related to “gyrus,” the technical anatomical term used in English by medical professionals, but not, in my experience, used by the lay public, even when talking about the surface of the brain. \u00a0“Gyrus<\/em>” is Latin and may be used in English in the medical context.<\/p>\n

eitre<\/strong>: groove, also furrow, or rifling (in a gun)<\/p>\n

sulcas<\/strong>: groove, especially , in the brain; sometimes translated as “sulcus,” the Latin medical term also used in English in fields such as dentistry (sulcas gingibheach<\/strong>, gingival sulcus) and animal anatomy (sulcas l\u00e1rnach agus sulcais chomhthaobhacha i mbrad\u00e1n cr\u00faibe capaill,<\/strong> central sulcus and collateral sulci of the frog of a horse’s hoof, and remember this is “brad\u00e1n<\/strong>” as in “fleshy pad in a hoof,” not as in the more widely used “brad\u00e1n<\/strong>” (salmon).<\/p>\n

And now that we’ve reviewed these, how about some practice? \u00a0Which form of any the Irish words above (key words or synonyms) fits the bearna\u00ed<\/strong> (blanks) below? \u00a0You may need to make some adjustments for plural, lenition, etc.\u00a0\u00a0 Freagra\u00ed th\u00edos.<\/strong><\/p>\n
