Bha sibh a鈥� feitheamh gu foighidneach fad seachdain, tha mi cinnteach, airson faighinn a-mach d猫 th鈥� ann an caora chrom agus d猫 an ceangal a th鈥� aice do dh鈥檜isge-beatha. Uill, anns a鈥� chiad dol-a-mach, chan e beathach a th鈥� innte. 鈥橲 e a th鈥� ann an caora chrom ainm eile airson a鈥� ph脿irt dhen phoit-dhuibh air a bheil a鈥� chliath. Bha mi ag innse dhuibh mu dheidhinn na cl猫ithe an t-seachdain sa chaidh 鈥� a鈥� ph矛ob shn矛omhach anns am bi an ce貌, a dh鈥櫭╥reas 脿s a鈥� phoit-dhuibh, a鈥� fuarachadh.

Chan ann d矛reach ann an G脿idhlig a tha ainm creutair co-cheangailte ris a鈥� chl猫ith oir, ann am Beurla, canaidh daoine worm rithe. Tha mi an d霉il gur e a cumadh as coireach ri sin. Carson is e a鈥� chaora chrom a chanas sinn rithe ann an G脿idhlig? Uill, chanainn gu robh i a鈥� cur ann an cuimhne dhaoine cumadh nan adharcan ann an cuid de chaoraich dhen t-seann se貌rsa.

Tha an t-ainm a鈥� nochdadh ann an seann phort-a-beul: tha bainne aig na caoraich uile 鈥檚 galan aig a鈥� chaora chruim. Tha bainne aig na caoraich uile 鈥檚 galan aig a鈥� chaora chruim. Chan e galan de bhainne a thathar a鈥� ciallachadh, ge-t脿, ach galan de rudeigin nas l脿idire!

Leugh mi st貌iridh an l脿 eile 脿 D霉thaich MhicAoidh, far an robh sinn an t-seachdain sa chaidh, anns an robh am fear a bha seo a鈥� d猫anamh uisge-beatha. Agus tha caora anns an sgeulachd, ged nach e caora chrom a th鈥� innte. Bhuineadh an duine do Phort Sgeire, agus bha poit-dhubh aige fh猫in agus feadhainn eile ann am bothan ri taobh allt air a bheil Allt na Cleite.

Bha uiread de thalamh aig na croitearan sin 鈥檚 nach robh feum aca air e貌rna a cheannach. Dh鈥檉h脿sadh iad an e貌rna dhaibh fh猫in. Co-dhi霉, oidhche a bha seo, dh鈥檉halbh ar caraid chun a鈥� mhonaidh. Tuigidh sibh gur ann air an oidhche a bhiodh daoine a鈥� tadhal air a鈥� phoit-dhuibh, oir bha an obair aca an aghaidh an lagh. Bha an croitear air a bhith ag 貌l mus do dh鈥檉halbh e, ge-t脿, agus bha an sm霉id air. A dh鈥檃indeoin sin, r脿inig e am bothan, chuir e an teine thuige, agus th貌isich an stuth l脿idir air cruinneachadh anns a鈥� ghlacadan 鈥� an soitheach a bha aig ceann thall na cl猫ithe.

Bha a h-uile c脿il a鈥� dol gu math nuair a chuala an duine bragadaich aig an doras. Smaoinich e gur e oifigearan-cusbainn a bh鈥� ann, gu robh iad air a lorg, agus e a鈥� d猫anamh uisge-beatha. Bha an t-eagal m貌r air.

Ach cha do dh鈥檉heuch duine ri briseadh a-steach. Chaidh ar caraid a dh鈥檌onnsaigh an dorais le 貌rd na l脿imh. Tharraing e an doras gus an robh e leth-fhosgailte, agus chunnaic e d脿 sh霉il a鈥� coimhead air bhon dorchadas. Chlisg e. An uair sin, thilg e an t-貌rd a dh鈥檌onnsaigh nan s霉l le uile neart. Dh霉in e an doras le brag, ghlas e e agus shuidh e s矛os ri taobh na st貌bha, agus e air chrith leis an eagal.

Chaidh 霉ine seachad agus cha chuala e dad bhon taobh a-muigh. Thog e lanntair far a鈥� bh霉ird agus dh鈥檉hosgail e an doras. Agus bha rudeigin air an st脿irsnich ceart gu le貌r. Chan e oifigear-cusbainn air a dhruim d矛reach a bh鈥� ann idir, ge-t脿, ach caora! Bha peata aige, a bha e air 脿rach bho bha i na h-uain, agus lean i air anns an dorchadas chun a鈥� bhothain. Bha aon chaora aige a bha crom agus bl脿th am broinn a鈥� bhothain, agus t猫 bhochd eile a bha d矛reach agus fuar air an taobh a-muigh.

Puing-ghr脿mair na seachdaine: I would like to reinforce the point about the slenderisation of an adjective which qualifies a feminine noun in the dative singular case, even when the noun itself cannot be slenderised because of its vowel combination. The first example is dubh in poit-dhubh (lit. 鈥渂lack pot鈥�). This occurs in the dative singular case three times in the Litir and note that, while poit cannot be slenderised, dubh can and generally is: eg airson a鈥� ph脿irt dhen phoit-dhuibh, a dh鈥櫭╥reas 脿s a鈥� phoit-dhuibh, a鈥� tadhal a鈥� air phoit-dhuibh. The same explanation can be given for the phrase galan aig a鈥� chaora chruim. The chruim here is the lenited and slenderised form of crom (caora is in the dative or prepositional case following the preposition aig and it is, of course, a feminine word). In the nominative singular it is caora chrom. In the dative singular, caora cannot slenderise, but chrom does - to chruim.

Gn脿ths-cainnt na seachdaine: chuir e an teine thuige: he lit the fire. Note also that chaidh a chur thuige means 鈥渋t was lit鈥� in relation to a fire, but 鈥渉e was all fired up鈥� ie angry, in reference to a person!
