An t-seachdain sa chaidh, thug sinn s霉il air An Sguabag Bhealaidh 鈥� 貌ran G脿idhlig le P貌l Camshron 脿 Bl脿r Athall mu chr貌ladh, no curling. Chuir sinn cr矛och air leis an rainn: 鈥淪矛os am bacan,鈥� cluinn an sgiobair/鈥淪e貌l dhomh clach ri taobh na bioraid鈥�/Siud air falbh, an 猫iteag bhinneach/鈥橲 i air chrith na gluasad.

Tha 猫iteag a鈥� ciallachadh clach gheal nach eil ro mh貌r. Ach chan eil clachan cr貌laidh geal mar as trice agus chan eil iad beag. Tha mi an d霉il gun do chleachd an t-霉ghdar e oir bha e air 鈥渃lach鈥� a chleachdadh anns an loidhne roimhe sin. Tha mi a鈥� smaoineachadh gur e an 鈥溍╥teag bhinneach鈥� the apex stone 鈥� an t猫 as fhaisge air a鈥� chr貌lach a tha a鈥� d矛on a鈥� ch貌rr.

Tha an c貌igeamh rann a鈥� dol: 鈥橲 ann an sin tha 鈥檔 horo-gheallaidh/Ga toirt suas thar Sg貌r na caillich/Rang a daimh le str矛 ga faire/鈥橲 laigh i 鈥檓 b脿rr na cuairteig. Nise, seo far a bheil taic a dh矛th orm. Chan eil fhios agam d猫 th鈥� ann an Sgor na caillich. Ma tha smuain agaibh fh猫in nach cuir sibh fios thugam?

Tha an ath rann a鈥� dol mar seo: Eadar 鈥渢ogail鈥� agus 鈥渄矛onadh鈥�/鈥淪gram an ge脿rd鈥� no 鈥渟gailc a cliathaich鈥�/Chan eil sean no 貌g nach miannaich/Bhith fo riar do bhuaireis.

Tha sin a鈥� toirt dhuinn tuilleadh briathrachais. Tha sgram an ge脿rd a鈥� ciallachadh 鈥渢ake out the guard stone鈥� agus tha sgailc a cliathaich a鈥� ciallachadh 鈥済ive her [ie the stone鈥檚] side a sharp blow鈥�.

Tha sinn gar toirt don rainn mu dheireadh, mu dheidhinn mar a bhiodh na cr貌laich a鈥� gabhail tlachd aig deireadh an latha: 鈥橲 l矛onar cuach de dh鈥檉huarag Athall/ Nithear 貌l do Bhr貌d Dh霉n Chailleann/ Buaidh 鈥檚 cli霉 don Di霉c tha againn/ S脿r ch霉l-taic na sguabaig.

鈥橲 e 鈥渇uarag Athall鈥� Atholl Brose. Bithear a鈥� cur mel agus uisge-beatha ri min-choirce agus uisge airson a dh猫anamh. Bhiodh na cr貌laich a鈥� faighinn deoch 脿s d猫idh l脿imh cuideachd. Tha an t-貌ran ag r脿dh Nithear 貌l do Bhr貌d Dh霉n Chailleann 鈥� 鈥渁 toast is made for the Dunkeld crowd鈥�. Bhiodh farpaisean cr貌laidh ann eadar muinntir Bhl脿r Athall agus muinntir Dh霉n Chailleann.

Chan e sin an t-貌ran gu l猫ir, ge-t脿. Tha s猫ist ann a bhiodh air a seinn 脿s d猫idh a h-uile rann. Seo i: 鈥橲 i mo luaidh an sguabag bhealaidh/Chuireas snuadh an gruaidh nam fearaibh/鈥橲 i mo luaidh an sguabag bhealaidh/ 鈥橲 alag mhear nan cuairteag. The broom brush is my love, it puts colour in the mens鈥� cheeks, the broom brush is my love, as is the joyful task of the curling circles.

鈥橲 i an sgioba a bhuannaicheas an t猫 aig a bheil a鈥� chlach as fhaisge air an tee mar a chanar ris ann am Beurla. Bithear a鈥� comharrachadh chearcall timcheall an tee agus tha mi an d霉il gur e sin 鈥渁鈥� chuairteag鈥� a nochdas anns an 貌ran.

Nuair a bha mi a鈥� rannsachadh na c霉ise seo, lorg mi seann dealbh de chr貌laich air a鈥� Gh脿idhealtachd anns na seasgadan dhen naoidheamh linn deug. 鈥橲 e fear Alasdair Urchardan 脿 Baile nan Granndach a rinn an dealbh. An 脿ite bhioran, 鈥檚 e botail fhiodha a bha iad a鈥� cleachdadh airson an tee a chomharrachadh agus tha iad sin anns an dealbh. Chuireadh luaidh sna botail airson an d猫anamh trom gu le貌r.

Uill, tha mi an d貌chas gum bi am briathrachas beag a lorg mi na chuideachadh de she貌rs鈥� air choreigin do sgioba sp貌rs Craoladh nan G脿idheal is gum faigh sinn aithris bhuapa uaireigin air Farpais Cr貌laidh na Cruinne ann an G脿idhlig!

Puing-ch脿nain na Litreach: Here鈥檚 the rest of the Gaelic vocabulary for curling I was able to glean from the song (see also last week鈥檚 Litir): binneach: apical (I imagine the clach or 猫iteag bhinneach to be one at the front of the circle which is removed by an opposing team 鈥渢aking it out鈥�); bioraid: tee marker; cuairteag: circle (around the tee, scored into the ice on frozen lochs, now marked with colours under the ice on curling rinks); sgram: take out; ge脿rd: guard (stone); sgailc: hit (with a stone); cliathaich: side (of stone). In the Litir I ask for help with Sg貌r na caillich (written by Paul Cameron as Sgor-na-caillich). Was this perhaps a mark on the ice, such as the 鈥渉og line鈥� or the 鈥渢ee line鈥�? If you鈥檙e a curler or know the game, you might be able to help me.

Gn脿thas-cainnt na Litreach: Nithear 貌l: drink will be taken [lit. drinking will be done]. In some instances, the verb d猫an can be used with another verb in this manner. You will often hear 鈥渄猫an suidhe鈥� [lit. make sit] as an alternative to the plain 鈥渟uidh鈥� or 鈥渟uidh s矛os鈥�.
