COUNCIL'S PREFACE. THIS Dictionary of the modern Irish language, with explanations in English, is the outcome of a project conceived a few years ago by the members of the Council of the Irish Texts Society. On the initiation of Mr. G. A. Greene, M.A., then Vice-Chairman of the Council, they decided to compile, with the assistance of Irish speakers and scholars throughout Ireland and Great Britain, and under the direction of competent Editors, a small Irish-English Pocket Dictionary for the use of students of the modern tongue. As a foundation for this work, about 12,000 words were collected from existing glossaries, from the spoken language and from modern writings, and sorted into slip form. The Editors who were asked to carry out the task of editing this material, Father O'Leary and Mr. David Comyn and, at a later stage, Mr. John MacNeill, found themselves, through the pressure of other work, unable to fulfil their intention, and the help of Father Dinneen was eventually secured. In carrying out his views as Editor, Father Dinneen found it necessary to make many alterations on the slips handed to him, involving labour which would not have been incurred had he been appointed in the first instance. Indeed, Father Dinneen has so amended and expanded the fragmentary materials submitted to him, that the present work may be regarded as practically his creation, and the Council gladly acknowledges its indebtedness to him for bis severe and patriotic labours in bringing the work to a satisfactory conclusion. The members of the Council wish to add their own sincere thanks to those of the Editor to all those gentlemen who have assisted the undertaking, either by reading proofs, or by the compilation of lists of local words, or by personal assistance rendered in different ways to the Editor. The names of those who have given financial aid will be found at the end of the volume. These marks of kindness and interest in the work have been of the greatest service, and have afforded much encouragement both to the Council and to the Editor. Signed on behalf of the Council,

EDITOR'S PREFACE. THE study of the Modern Irish Language, which has received such an impetus in recent years, has been greatly hampered by the want of a convenient lexicon. Nothing but the urgent necessity that existed for such a lexicon could have induced me to abandon more congenial studies and devote my energies to the development and completion of the work so laudably undertaken by the Council of the Irish Texts Society. As I proceeded with the revision of the material supplied me the work grew imperceptibly under my hands. In preparing the work, I went through the whole of Peter O'Connell's MS. Dictionary, and also, though more rapidly, through the MS. Dictionary compiled by O'Naughton. The Gaelic Journal and the principal modern published texts were also laid under contribution, as well as several lists of words received from various parts of the country Not the least valuable part of the work is what I was able to remember from the days of my childhood, the rich vocabulary employed by my father and mother and the inhabitants of my native Sliabh Luachra, the snatches of song, of story, of proverb, the allusions and rhymes and exclamations which mingled with their conversation, as well as the precise and accurate use of phrase and idiom which distinguished them. In spite of many defects, it is claimed for this work that it contains a larger number of words used in the living Irish language and in the more modern written compositions than any Irish Dictionary yet published; that it gives the various words fuller grammatical treatment; that it explains them more in detail and with greater precision and accuracy; that it gives a fuller account of local usage and pronunciation; that it treats more fully the more important words which form the basis of the main idioms that constitute the core of the language; that it gives a greater number of peculiarly poetical expressions; a fuller list of technical words and a more copious supply of examples drawn from the living speech of the people; that it has a more abundant list of references to modern standard works; that it deals more exhaustively and with fuller illustration with the various particles whose uses and functions are calculated to puzzle the student. It is claimed that the book gives a fairly accurate explanation in English of the main stream of words, idioms and forms that constitute the Modern Irish Language. Absolute completeness, either in the list of words or in the idioms, is not claimed, the time and space limits and other circumstances affecting the production of the work rendering such completeness impossible. In the insertion of compound words, which form an important factor in the language, space had to be economized. It is obvious that in an unsettled language like Irish, which has not been cultivated to any extent since the use of print became general, many orthographical difficulties present themselves to the lexicographer. Complete uniformity of spelling is certainly a great desideratum. Indeed, it is impossible to conceive a flourishing literature in an age of printing like the present without a uniform orthography of some kind. The science of grammar becomes a mockery where there is not some show of uniformity in the written forms of the words, and students of the language are disheartened by an unsettled and ever varying orthography. The circumstance that the language has been growing apace, as all languages grow, for the last couple of hundred years, without in many parts of the country the check of a written or printed literature, has resulted in its forming itself into two or

three more or less clearly defined dialects which differ from one another in several points. The Irish spoken in the Extreme North of Ireland differs from that spoken in Munster, and that spoken in Connaught differs from both. The Irish of South Connaught approaches that of Munster, while that of North Connaught resembles that of Ulster. As regards the orthography employed, perhaps the only item that will seem somewhat radical is the uniform use of sc, sp, st, in preference to sg, sb, rd, respectively, but especially the use of sc for sg. On this point it may be observed that these sets of letter-combinations in general follow the same law, and that it is desirable to adopt a uniform system. In our books and dictionaries there is great confusion between the combinations sc and sg, and the time seemed to have come for writing uniformly one or the other. The question was, which should be selected. The selection of sc is only the natural lexicographical evolution. O'Naughton, the author of our earliest modern dictionary (finished 1727), writes sc for the most part, and devotes only a few pages to words beginning with sg. O'Brien (1767) states in his dictionary that sc and sg are absolutely identical, and that words spelled with sc will not be repeated under sg. O'Reilly made much the same observation, while Peter O'Connell (1826), whose work is most laborious, systematic, and comprehensive, writes fc in, every case. Of the living authorities who were consulted on this question opinion was divided. I may mention that Dr. Standish Hayes O'Grady, Professor Strachan, and Dr. Joyce, approved of the exclusive use of sc, while Father Peter O'Leary, Mr. Bergin, Mr. Lloyd, and others, favoured sg. There can be no question, of course, that sg is far more common in modern manuscripts, and up to a recent date at least was more common in books. As regards the sound of the language used at the present day opinion also differs, some maintaining that the sound after s is g, and others that it is c. I think that the sound is in many cases sc, and in most other cases approaches nearer to sc than to sg. It seems to me that in words like scal, scimh, scilling, where sc is followed by a slender vowel, the s is more affected than the c, the s becomes sh rather than c g. This sh sound of s, I believe, makes many think that a g-sound and not a c-sound is heard. In words like scoil, to my ear at least, the sound is c. With regard to plural forms like pistidhe, which some now write pist,and prtaidhe, which they write prta, only the longer form is given in these pages. That form is given as being the best established, though it is undoubtedly cumbrous and awkward to a degree. Both forms would have been given except that it seemed a needless waste of space to do so, and hence the exclusion of the shorter form is not to be regarded as prejudicing its claims. There can be no doubt that the tendency will always be in the direction of retrenching unsounded letters, and making the spelling square with the pronunciation. But the process must be gradual and, as it were, imperceptible. The dipthong a has been used throughout instead of eu. I have followed Peter O'Connell in writing idheacht or -aidheacht as the termination of abstract nouns, thus tromaidheacht, not tromuigheacht, though the verb is written tromuighim. The diphthong eo and not e is written throughout except in a few cases, and triphthongs are not in general accented. The diphthong ea is used in preference to io in unaccented syllables, thus ireann not irionn. It has been found convenient for lexicographical order to observe the caol le caol law even in compounds, though there are some instances of departure from it, But it should be noted that the observance of this law is not intended to prejudice the pronunciation. Words like leith-scal, leith-cheann are largely but not universally pronounced as if written leath-scal and leath-cheann; thus we say deis-bhalach and not deas-bhalach, etc. Though many hints regarding the pronunciation of words are scattered through the book, it was found impossible to treat the pronunciation of each word in a systematic manner, without unduly enlarging the work. The more important verbals are given a separate heading; sometimes they have uses distinct from those of the corresponding verbs. The verbs are given under their first singular indicative, as this arrangement is generally adopted in modern vocabularies. The unsettled state of

orthography of the language often necessitated the repetition of the same word under different forms, and recourse was had to phonetic spelling when the origin or etymology of the word was uncertain. An effort has been made, as far as the limits of the work permitted, to give examples of the principal idioms that involve the prepositions and other important words, but it is obvious that there are many idioms depending on the collocation of words which can be learned only by practice. The treatment of local words, some of which are of very doubtful genuineness, was a matter of some anxiety. In some parts of the country certain English words have got an extraordinary twist, and in the mouths of Irish speakers pass for genuine Irish words. Moreover, words that are really Irish are sometimes very much corrupted locally, and the corrupted forms are of doubtful advantage to a lexicon. The local use of words, however, when properly ascertained, is of great assistance in determining their origin and meaning. A word may be said about modern loan words. They are practically all taken immediately from the English, though many are loan words even in English. Some have been introduced with scarcely any change of pronunciation, but with a somewhat altered or extended meaning. Thus scimir is from schemer, but is used in a peculiar way in Irish; srt is from sort, but not identical in use with the English word. Many English words get an Irish terminal form as crca from crook, and the termination -il, of the verbal noun is often added to English verbs ag teindeil, tending, and the like. Of forms like these, some have got a footing in the language, while others, as the one just quoted, must be regarded as barbarous. With regard to the general question of the insertion of loan words in a dictionary or their use in the spoken and written language, it is to be said that words that ar established in the written language, being used by good authors, or words in everyday conversational use, should find a place in a dictionary, from whatever source they may be derived. The lexicographer may deplore the introduction of loan words, but he is bound to recognise their existence. Of course, words not well established or not widely used, have not the same claim to recognition. In the following pages I have in general given those loan words which have a footing in the spoken or written language, especially when they have acquired a new shade of meaning. In writing the language, words only recently borrowed and for which there are Irish equivalents, should be sparingly used. It is otherwise with words that have already a life of a couple of hundred years in the language. Every tongue borrows from other tongues, and it is a sign of health and vigour when a language can assimilate a crop of foreign words and reduce them to subjection by the rigorous application of its own syntax and of its own inflexional forms. Want of space prevented my treating of the derivation of the bulk of the words in the dictionary, or of tracing their relationship to words in kindred tongues. It need scarcely be stated here that modern Irish is substantially the same language as Scotch Gaelic and as Manx, that it bears to the Welsh and Breton languages a kinship similar to that which exists between modern English and modern German, that it is a development of a language which was cognate to the earlier forms of the great family of languages spoken and written in modern Europe, that though its vocabulary has been considerably influenced by Latin within historic times, and by English within the last three centuries, it has preserved its own syntax and its own characteristic inflexional system practically untampered with even to this day. Its syntactical and inflexional systems have, indeed, been subject to a development similar to the development which takes place in the successive stages of every living and cultivated speech, but neither its syntax nor its inflexional system has been influenced to any great extent by neighbour tongues.

I owe a debt of gratitude to my friend, Mr. John J. O'Kelly, for the tireless energy which he devoted to the work from the outset. His extensive knowledge of the living language rendered his co-operation particularly valuable. My friend, Mr. J. H. Lloyd, looked over all the MS. and read the proofs carefully, and the work owes much to his extensive knowledge of local forms and his critical acumen. The following gentlemen, all of whom are well skilled in the living language, kindly looked over the proofs and noted local usages, etc.: Messrs. John J. O'Kelly, P.O'Shea (Glengarriff), P. J.'O'Shea ("Conn Maol"), J. C. Ward (Killybegs), J. Craig, J. Rogers (Barrow-in-Furness), T. Concannon, R. A. Foley, M. Breathnach. Messrs. J. J. Doyle and M. O'Malley looked over a portion of the proofs. Special mention should be made of Mr. Richard Foley's keen interest in the work from the beginning, and of the zeal with which he sought out and recorded local usages. Among those who helped by supplying lists of words I may mention Rev. M. McGrath, St. Mary's, Rathmines; Messrs. D. O'Callaghan (Aran), O'Donnell (Newport, O'Doherty (Cruit Island), R. A. Foley, John J. O'Kelly, J. C. Ward (Killybegs), Seamus O'Kelly, (Belfast, M. O'Brien (Ballyvourney), D. D. Murphy (Valentia), T. Hayes, P. O'Daly. Dr. J. P. Henry also took a great interest in the work all through its progress, and furnished useful lists of local words. To Miss Eleanor Hull, Hon. Sec. of the Irish Texts Society, who took a keen personal interest in the work from the beginning, I am indebted for much sympathetic encouragement and many useful suggestions. I wish to record my appreciation of the kindness I received from Mr. J. J. MacSweeney and assistants of the Royal Irish Academy, Mr. Lyster and assistants of the National Library of Ireland, Mr. De Burgh, Mr. Hall and assistants of Trinity College Library. The labour of seeing the work through the press was considerably lightened by the intelligence and efficiency displayed by the staff of Messrs. Sealy, Bryers and Walker. Although this work was laid on my shoulders quite unexpectedly, it is curious to recall that the production of an Irish Dictionary was one of the dreams of my boyhood. If the realization of that dream be not as splendid as the original conception, it is some compensation to reflect that the work, in spite of many imperfections, will be useful to thousands of students, and will help on the work of cultivating the rich and vigorous, but sadly neglected, language of the Gael.

After nouns, the genitive singular and nominative plural are given; after verbs (which are given in the 1st person singular, indicative mood), the verbal is given; after adjectives, the dative singular feminine, which is also in general the same as the comparative and superlative, is given; many adjectives, from the nature of the case, are not used in the comparative or superlative, but are nevertheless declined in the positive degree; after compound nouns, in most cases, the genitive and plural are not given when they are identical with those of the terminal simple nouns. The general rule followed in setting down the inflectional termination after the words is to repeat the last letter of the invariable portion of the word, thus bronntir, -ra, -iridhe, signifies that the genitive case of bronntir is bronntra, and its nominative plural is bronntiridhe; where, however, the inflexional termination is purely an addition to the noun, the last letter is generally not repeated, thus fuath, -a, signifies that fuatha is the genitive case of fuath.

The accentuation of aon takes place when emphasis is to be laid on the singleness, unity, or identity of the idea conveyed by the following word; thus, nl aon bhrgh leis an bhfocal sain, that word has no meaning; but aoin-bhrgh is eadh at leis an d fhocal, both words have one and the same meaning.

PARADIGMS OF THE IRREGULAR VERBS GENERAL REMARKS. The dependent form of the verb is that used in the imperative mood and after n, not; an, interrog. part.; nach, interrog. neg. part.: go, that; c, where; muna, unless; d, if, and tho relative governed by a preposition. In these verbs in some tenses the independent or absolute form is distinct from the dependent form. Thus, adeirim, I say, but n abraim, I do not say; bharad, I will give, but n thiubhrad, I will not give; t airgead agam, I have money, but an bhfuil airgead agat? have you money? The tendency of the modern development of the language is to break down the distinction between the two sets of forms and use one form in all cases. Indeed the perfection with which this distinction is observed may furnish a rough test of the purity and strength of the vernacular idiom in any district. The generation which has just passed away observed this distinction more scrupulously than the present. Thus, I remember old people say bharad or bharaidh m scilling duit, I will give you a shilling, now one hears generally tabharfad scilling duit. In West Kerry good speakers now say nor chuaidh, while in East Kerry the proper form n dheaghaidh (dheachaidh) is retained. The verb adeirim has a strong tendency to part with its dependent forms, especially in the future and conditional. One hears n abraim (present), but also commonly n darfad (future). do-bheirim still holds its own in the present (do not being pronounced), especially in more solemn statements as (do)bheirim mo bhanna dhuit, I solemnly assure you; but tugaim and tabhraim are also used. A perfect form do-bheir (old preterite, do-bheirt, 3rd singular) is heard in Kerry. I have ventured to supply a 1st sing, imperat. which is peculiar in its use. In using this form the speaker commands not himself but another - he commands or entreats that a certain act be performed (the verb for which is not expressed), which will result in a certain consequence to himself, this consequence being expressed by this 1st singular form. It is used positively or negatively, and is distinct from the subj. or optat., thus: a bhin-chneis shimh, faghaim fth an acht', 7c. (E. R.). Faghaim here is equivalent to innis dam (or tabhair dam). N faghaim annso a thuilleadh th, which is equivalent to saying imthigh as so i dtreo n faghad ann a thuilleadh th, hence the speaker does not command or entreat himself, but indirectly he commands or entreats another. N faghaim focal eile asat is equivalent to ist or ciuinigh. Cf. similar uses of cluinim, feicim, 7c. This form is used idiomatically in conditional sentences, thus: ar uaislibh Connacht is bm im' cheannphort, let me be commander over the nobles of Connaught, that is, if I were commander, etc. This 1st sing. imper. is identical in form with the 1st sing. indic. (dependent), and this use of it is not found in Old or Middle Irish. The subjunctive (optative) is still widely used in the spoken language: tabhair dam do lmh n go rabhmaid (=mbeimd) ag triall, give me your hand so that we may go on (start on our journey) (U.); "tim breoidhte" "mhaise go rabhair"; "I am sick"; "indeed, may you be so"; "go bhfeicidh do chlann dealbh th," "may your children see you poor"; "gheobhair fuacht," "mhaise go bhfaghad," "you will catch cold," "indeed I wish I may" (a strong expression of improbability); tabhair dam thrach go bhfaghad deoch, give me a vessel that I may get a drink (subj. use). The past subj. is identical in form with the imperf. indic. Only a few verbs such as atim, cluinim, have preserved the synthetic form of the 2nd pl. pres. indicative in the sp. l.

The participle of necessity is still extensively used in M. and not quite extinct elsewhere: n maoidhte sin ort, you are not to be envied on that account; nl sin maoidhte ort in Don. = you have fully earned it, you deserved well of it. Connus taoi? Mhaise, n gearnta dham. How are you? Well I have no reason to complain; is danta guidhe, orandum est, we must pray, cf. abartha (lit. to be said = witty, of a reply) (Con.). Figthe, in phr. m's figthe damh, if it is the case that I am to to be left(U.). There appear to be very few survivals of the form in U.; in Don. the ion- p. a. is now very commonty employed instead, and, as in the case of the Don. use of maoidhte, noted above, it is constructed with t and not with is, e.g., t s indanta agat = is indanta duit , nl s ionmhaoidhte ort = n hionmhaoidhte ort , having the same sense as the phrase with maoidhte; "acht anois shlim go bhfuil t iontaobhtha"(Don. song); cf. Don. construction t s doiligh 'fhaghil = is deacair d'fhaghil. P. of nec. is sometimes distd. from past part, by being slender, cuirthe, part, of nec.; curtha, past p.; figthe, p. nec.; fgtha, p.p. But in M. tgtha = p. nec. and p. p., etc. I. is, ASSERTIVE VERB.

DICTIONARY FUND. The Council of the Irish Texts Society, in recording the names of those friends of the Society who have come forward to aid the work of publication by donations or by contributing to the Guarantee Fund, wish to take this opportunity of acknowledging the cordial help aud encouragement they have received from many friends, throughout the whole course of the undertaking. The interest shewn by Irish Students and by Irish men and women in all parts of the world, in the production of this Dictionary, has been a source of constant encouragement to all in any way engaged in pushing forward the work. In raising the necessary funds the Council have also met with much sympathy. They wish to record their gratitude, in a special manner, to three friends who came forward at a critical moment and voluntarily offered loans of a considerable amount. These are, the Hon. Albinia Brodrick, who gave a loan of 200; Mr. John P. Boland, M.P., and Mr. John Twigg, who each contributed a loan of 100. They are also specially indebted to the Most Rev. Dr. Walsh, archbishop of Dublin, for constant proofs of interest and for the offer of 20, as a personal contribution to the work, if a sum of 400 could be raised in similar amounts. This offer, though it has not realized the total amount contemplated by His Grace, has produced the considerable sum of over 177 paid up, and 20 promised. The fact that several dioceses made efforts to contribute the required amount is interesting, and proves an extending concern for the advancement of Irish studies. The names of the contributors to the Loan Guarantee Fund are as follows: Irish Texts Society. Dr. Mark Ryan. Hon. Albinia Brodrick. Hon. Win. Gibson. John P. Boland, Esq., M.P. D. Mescal, Esq.
