Since so many of you seemed to enjoy the recent pisc\u00edn gleoite<\/strong> (cute kitten) post (nasc th\u00edos<\/strong>), I figured I’d extend the topic with an conversation with a cat.\u00a0 Many of the questions could easily be transformed into dialogues between people about cats, since, mostly, we assume cats don’t really talk, even if they do communicate. \u00a0\u00a0Likewise, we could also imagine that the comhr\u00e1<\/strong> is “cat ag caint le cat<\/strong>.”\u00a0 No special reason to assume that “mise<\/strong>” has to be human.\u00a0\u00a0 So, cat-to-cat, cat-to-person, or person-to-person, seo an comhr\u00e1<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

And btw, the remainder of this post will be pretty much completely in Irish, unlike my usual bilingual, back-and-forth style.\u00a0 C\u00e9n f\u00e1th<\/strong> (why)?\u00a0 Because that’s how the “mews” struck me (Mar sin mar a bhuail na naoi mb\u00e9ithe m\u00e9<\/strong>).\u00a0 And actually that last bit means, “because that’s how the nine muses struck me.”\u00a0 Beag\u00e1n d’\u00e1ibh\u00e9il fhileata ansin\u00a0 – naoi mb\u00e9ithe, muise.\u00a0\u00a0 Nach leor b\u00e9 amh\u00e1in<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

The next post will include the translation, notes, and a “gluais.<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Mise: I\u00far Cinn Tr\u00e1?\u00a0 Cad \u00e9 sin i mB\u00e9arla?<\/p>\n
