Bidh sibh e貌lach air faclan Beurla a th脿inig 脿s a鈥� Gh脿idhlig bho th霉s 鈥� rudan mar whisky, bard, cairn, ben, loch, kerfuffle is mar sin air adhart. Kerfuffle? Uill, a r猫ir an fhaclair Bheurla agam, a tha ag innse dhomh gu bheil an gn矛omhair kerfuffle a鈥� ciallachadh 鈥渢o put into disorder or disarray鈥�, th脿inig p脿irt co-dhi霉 dhen fhacal bhon Gh脿idhlig. Tuilleadh mu dheidhinn sin ro dheireadh na Litreach.

An l脿 eile, chuir fear as aithne dhomh, aig a bheil f矛or dheagh Gh脿idhlig, ceist orm. 鈥淒猫 a鈥� Gh脿idhlig,鈥� thuirt e, 鈥渁 th鈥� air slogan?鈥�

鈥溾�橲 e ceist a tha sin,鈥� fhreagair mi. 鈥淣ach eil fios agad gu bheil a h-uile faclair Beurla ag r脿dh gur ann 脿s a鈥� Gh脿idhlig a th脿inig am facal slogan?鈥�

鈥淯ill,鈥� fhreagair mo charaid, 鈥渃ha robh fios agam. Agus d猫 a鈥� Gh脿idhlig a bh鈥� ann 脿s an t脿inig e?鈥�

鈥淎, uill, ma 鈥檚 breug bhuam e, is breug thugam e,鈥� thuirt mi, 鈥渁ch th脿inig e 脿 鈥渟luagh-ghairm鈥� 鈥� mar a bhios sluagh neo feachd a鈥� gairm mus t猫id iad gu cath 鈥� 鈥楤eatha neo b脿s!鈥�, 鈥楩ear eil鈥� airson Eachainn!鈥�, 鈥楥ruachan!鈥� is gnothaichean mar sin. Sluagh-ghairm.鈥�

鈥淯huh,鈥� fhreagair e, 鈥渁gus d猫 chanas mi airson slogan, ma-th脿, agus mi ag eadar-theangachadh p矛os Beurla, nuair a tha slogan a鈥� ciallachadh rudeigin a tha sgr矛obhte air sanas air botal neo poca plastaig?鈥� Deagh cheist.

Uaireannan tha duilgheadas againn ann an G脿idhlig le bhith ag eadar-theangachadh faclan Beurla a th脿inig bho th霉s bhon ch脿nan againne. Tha e gu cinnteach f矛or mu ainmean-脿ite. Mar eisimpleir, cluinnear uaireannan daoine a鈥� bruidhinn mu dheidhinn 鈥淏eanntan a鈥� Chuilthinn鈥� mar eadar-theangachadh air 鈥淭he Cuillin Hills鈥� nuair is e d矛reach 鈥淎n Cuiltheann鈥� a鈥� Gh脿idhlig cheart. Tha fios againn gur e beanntan a th鈥� anns a鈥� Chuiltheann.

Bho 脿m gu 脿m cluinnear cuideachd An C脿rn Gorm mar eadar-theangachadh air 鈥淭he Cairngorms鈥� nuair is e 鈥淎m Monadh Ruadh鈥� a鈥� Gh脿idhlig cheart air na beanntan sin. Chan eil anns 鈥渁鈥� Ch脿rn Ghorm鈥� ach aon bheinn anns a鈥� Mhonadh Ruadh 鈥� a鈥� bheinn far a bheilear a鈥� togail rathad-iarainn a bhios deiseil airson sgithearan an ceann d脿 mh矛os. Agus tha Dualchas N脿dair na h-Alba air 鈥渁m Monadh Ruadh鈥� aithneachadh gu h-oifigeil. Tha a鈥� bhuidheann air moladh don Riaghaltas gum bi ainm d脿-ch脿nanach air a鈥� ph脿irce n脿iseanta a th猫id a st猫idheachadh ann a sin a dh鈥檃ithghearr 鈥� Cairngorms National Park ann am Beurla, agus P脿irce N脿iseanta a鈥� Mhonaidh Ruaidh ann an G脿idhlig. Bidh sinn an d貌chas gun gabh an Riaghaltas ris a鈥� mholadh sin.

A bharrachd air ainmean-脿ite, bidh sinn uaireannan a鈥� d矛ochuimhneachadh nam faclan a chaidh don Bheurla bhon Gh脿idhlig. Dh鈥檉haighnich fear, a bha ag ionnsachadh a鈥� ch脿nain, dhiom turas d猫 a鈥� Gh脿idhlig a bh鈥� air bog. Cha robh e air mothachadh gur ann 脿s a鈥� Gh脿idhlig 鈥渂og鈥� a th脿inig bog. Feuch 鈥渂oglach鈥� thuirt mi ris.

Smaoinich e airson mionaid air faclan eile rudeigin coltach ri sin. 鈥淢mm,鈥� thuirt e, 鈥渋s d猫 a鈥� Gh脿idhlig a th鈥� air shut your gob? 鈥楧霉in do ghob鈥�?鈥�

Cha robh mi buileach cinnteach co-dhi霉 鈥檚 ann ri m矛-mhodh a bha e gus nach ann, ach bha e gl猫 cheart, ged is e 鈥渄霉in do chab鈥� as trice a chanadh daoine 鈥� ma tha iad cho m矛-mhodhail 鈥檚 gu feum iad a leithid a r脿dh idir. Ach tha deagh choltas ann gun t脿inig gob 脿s a鈥� Gh脿idhlig 鈥済ob鈥�.

Ach kerfuffle? Chaidh mi a dh鈥檌onnsaigh Faclair N脿iseanta na h-Alba agus, ga r猫ir, dh鈥櫭╥rich am facal bhon Gh脿idhlig 鈥渃ar鈥�, a twist or turn, agus fuffle, facal 脿s a鈥� Bheurla Albannaich a tha a鈥� ciallachadh 鈥渢o handle roughly鈥�. Agus d猫 a鈥� Gh脿idhlig a chuireadh sibh air kerfuffle? F脿gaidh mi sin agaibh airson me貌mhrachadh air anns an t-seachdain a tha romhainn.

Abairtean na seachdaine: tuilleadh mu dheidhinn sin ro dheireadh na Litreach: (there will be) more about that before the end of the Litir; ma 鈥檚 breug bhuam e, is breug thugam e: I am only relating what I have heard (see Litir 24, 29.10.99); mar a bhios sluagh neo feachd a鈥� gairm must t猫id iad gu cath: as a host or fighting force cries out before they go into battle; rudeigin a tha sgr矛obhte air sanas air botal neo poca plastaig: something that is written on an advertisement on a bottle or plastic bag; tha e gu cinnteach f矛or mu ainmean-脿ite: it is certainly true about place names; cluinnear uaireannan daoine a鈥� bruidhinn mu dheidhinn X: sometimes people are heard speaking about X; a鈥� bheinn far a bheilear a鈥� togail rathad-iarainn a bhios deiseil airson sgithearan an ceann d脿 mh矛os: the mountain where a railway is being built, which will be ready for skiers in two months鈥� time; cha robh mi buileach cinnteach co-dhi霉 鈥檚 ann ri m矛-mhodh a bha e gus nach ann: I wasn鈥檛 totally sure whether he was being (deliberately) rude or not; 鈥檚 gu feum iad a leithid a r脿dh idir: that they must say the like at all; f脿gaidh mi sin agaibh airson me貌mhrachadh air: I鈥檒l leave you to contemplate that.

Puing-ghr脿mair na seachdaine: An l脿 eile, chuir fear as aithne dhomh, aig a bheil f矛or dheagh Gh脿idhlig, ceist orm: the other day, a man I know, who has excellent Gaelic, asked me (posed me a question). Note the idiomatic use of the preposition air 鈥� in Gaelic we 鈥減ut a question on somebody鈥� eg chaidh ceist a chur air (he was questioned), chuir na poilis ceist orra (the police questioned them).

(who will be posing the questions?); 鈥檚 e Alasdair a chuireas na ceistean (it鈥檚 Alasdair that asks the questions); 鈥檚 e mi-fh矛n a chuireas na ceistean agus tu fh猫in a bheir na freagairtean! (it鈥檚 me that asks the questions and you that gives the answers!)
