Most of the time my interest in Irish vocabulary leans more to the traditional, like words for “potato ridges” (iomair\u00ed pr\u00e1ta\u00ed<\/strong>), dibbers (stibh\u00edn\u00ed<\/strong>), spinning jennies (sin\u00e9id\u00edn\u00ed<\/strong>), or querns (br\u00f3nna)<\/strong>.\u00a0 But the most recent blog (nasc th\u00edos<\/strong>) introduced a few more contemporary terms which may relate to occupations and technologies we see today.\u00a0 In fact, we got into a discussion of logistics because of the chance \u00a0similarity of a French company name, Scallog\u00ae<\/strong>, to “sceall\u00f3g<\/strong>,” the Irish for “a chip” or “a French fry.” \u00a0Let’s check these logistics-oriented words out. \u00a0[nuashonr\u00fach\u00e1n<\/strong> 6\/7\/17: it just hit me like a ton of bricks how this company name must have been selected — f\u00e9ach an n\u00f3ta th\u00edos!<\/strong>]<\/p>\n

comhuaineach<\/strong>, parallel, simultaneous (comh<\/strong>, together + uain<\/strong>, turn, opportune time, interval of time + -each<\/strong>, adjective ending).\u00a0 We saw this in the phrase “pr\u00f3ise\u00e1il chomhuaineach<\/strong>” (parallel processing) with lenition (c becoming ch) because “pr\u00f3ise\u00e1il<\/strong>” is grammatically feminine.\u00a0 So if this “comhuaineach<\/strong>” means parallel in the sense of time (simultaneously), what do we use for parallel lines?\u00a0 Well, a completely different word, naturally: comhthreomhar<\/strong>, for lines in general, and for lines of latitude, “domhanleithid<\/strong>,” which comes from “domhanleithead<\/strong>” (latitude), giving us phrases like “l\u00edne dhomhanleithid<\/strong>” and “l\u00ednte domhanleithid<\/strong>.”\u00a0 And finally, there is a word which is much more directly parallel to the English, simply stated, “parail\u00e9alach<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n

The Irish word “grafaic<\/strong>” is obviously clearly related to “graphic,” with just the typical spelling changes (such as “f” for English “ph,” as we also find in Irish words like “Filideilfia<\/strong>,” “filist\u00edneach,<\/strong>” “na hOile\u00e1in Fhilip\u00edneacha<\/strong>,” and “fiolarm\u00f3nach<\/strong>“).\u00a0 A few typical phrases: “grafaic theicni\u00fail<\/strong>” (technical graphics) and “dearth\u00f3ir grafaic\u00ed<\/strong>” (graphic designer, lit. designer of graphics), but the actual adjective form is “grafach<\/strong>,” as in ‘ursc\u00e9al grafach<\/strong>” (graphic novel).<\/p>\n

    “Pr\u00f3ise\u00e1il<\/strong>”\u00a0 means “process” or “processing.” “Of process” or “of processing” is “pr\u00f3ise\u00e1la<\/strong>,” as in “r\u00f3bat pr\u00f3ise\u00e1la \u00e1bhair<\/strong>” (material-processing robot).\u00a0 Some additional uses of “proise\u00e1il<\/strong>” are “pr\u00f3ise\u00e1il<\/strong> bia<\/strong>” (food processing), or “pr\u00f3ise\u00e1il focal<\/strong>” (word processing).<\/p>\n

    “Vector” is a pretty straightforward word in Irish, no doubt fairly recently adapted: veicteoir<\/strong>, with the following forms: veicteora<\/strong>, of a vector, and veicteoir\u00ed<\/strong>, vectors.\u00a0 The adjective form, veicteoireach<\/strong> (vector, vectored), simply adds a standard adjective ending, “-each<\/strong>,” and could be used in phrases like Grafaic Insc\u00e1laithe Veictoireach<\/strong> (Scalable Vector Graphics), r\u00e9imse veicteoireach<\/strong> (vector field), and \u00edomh\u00e1 veicteoireach<\/strong> (vectored image).<\/p>\n

    And by the way, you might remember that last time, I was pondering the idea of adding an appliqu\u00e9d “E” and “appliqu\u00e9d fada<\/strong>” to a t-shirt so I could change the lettering to mean an Irish word.\u00a0\u00a0 That would change the intriguing French company name “Scallog\u00ae” into a meaningful word in Irish (sceall\u00f3g<\/strong>), although, of course, by sheer coincidence — I presume, or maybe mo shamhla\u00edocht sruth smaointeachais<\/strong>. \u00a0It occurred to me that I had never heard the word “appliqu\u00e9” in Irish.\u00a0 N\u00ed nach ionadh<\/strong>, because I double-checked all the dictionaries I could get ahold of, and lo and behold, the Irish for appliqu\u00e9 is “appliqu\u00e9.”\u00a0 However, there are a couple of interesting phrases, using this word inlcuding “appliqu\u00e9 by machine” (appliqu\u00e9 innill<\/strong>, lit. appliqu\u00e9 of engine\/machine) and \u00a0“appliqu\u00e9 by hand” (appliqu\u00e9 l\u00e1imhe<\/strong>, lit. appliqu\u00e9 of hand).\u00a0 What I find interesting is that while the English uses the preposition “by” for these phrases, the Irish uses “an tuiseal ginideach<\/strong>.” And that means no preposition at all.\u00a0 Which is especially interesting because there are at least 20 ways to express the idea of “by” in Irish, but no single preposition which is a really good match.\u00a0\u00a0 So I guess we’ll look into that, by and by (ar ball beag<\/strong>, using the preposition “ar<\/strong>,” which literally means “on”). \u00a0\u00a0Sl\u00e1n go f\u00f3ill<\/strong>, or “bye for now” and that’s “bye,” not “by” — R\u00f3isl\u00edn<\/strong><\/p>\n

    N\u00f3ta<\/strong> (6\/7\/17): Scallog\u00ae<\/strong> =\u00a0scal<\/em>able + log<\/em>istics, but it sure looked Celtic to me! \u00a0I’m still wondering about the pronunciation, how it ends up being \u00a0a “hard g” sound, since it’s a French company and the French for “logistics” is pronounced with a “soft g” (logistique<\/em>). \u00a0But I have diligently listened to several YouTube videos about it, including one with the company’s founder, and it’s definitely a “hard g” sound (naisc th\u00edos<\/strong>) — maybe it just sounds better that way! \u00a0And I must say, although I have no idea how such technology works, the demonstration videos are very impressive, sleek, and futuristic!<\/p>\n
