d<>, prep. Of, off. According to MacBain, the peculiar custom of confusing this word with do, to, in speaking Gaelic, extends back to Old Irish in pre-accentual de compounds, but the erroneous practice has no doubt largely been increased by the publishers of the Gaelic Scriptures, the instances of the use of do, in- stead of de making the meaning of the text in Gaelic just the opposite of what the origi- nal conveys. It is strange how tenacious some Gaelic writers are of the pernic'ous custom of using do for both de and do, while it is quite plain that the meaning of one is just the opposite of the other. It is no excuse to say that it is often spoken so (in some places de is practically obsolete) for it is the duty of scholars and those who write or speak Gaelic, to do so correctly, and so help to correct popular errors instead of perpet- uating them. This is only one case among many, where any unprejudiced person can see the absolute necessity of Gaelic being taught in every school, at least in Gaelic- speaking districts, to prevent its becoming a mixture of exceptions like English.

An gabh thu roinn dheth sin ? will you take a part of that ? bheir mi 'a ghlas de 'n dorus, / will take the lock off the door ; thug mi Jn ceann de m1 ordaig, / took the tip off my thumb. If do be substituted for de in each of above examples, the result is mere nonsense.

S6S. Dealbh (IS.} Dealbh-ard. %6Sa. Suidfieachadh no cm'su'in. The warping-frame shown in illust. is known in Uist as " deilbh ard," and the term deilbh (dealbh) is seldom used in this connection alone. It is called dvilbh ard because the old original, and still usual manner, of warping the thread is by fixing the fuaintcan in the clay floor. Consequently, when a frame was constructed and raised up against the wall, it received the name of " deilbh ard.'*

These two pegs on upper cross- bar, as in second illust., and two similar ones on lower cross-bar, explain the old form of dealbh formerly in use in Lewis, but the form shown in first illust., is that generally used elsewhere. For modern form as used in Lewis see appendix. The form of winding thread on two top and bottom pegs in lower ill. is called creiseim in Lewis.

There is no Infinitive in Gaelic, but unfortunately the Gaelic Verbal Noun fre- quently appears in places where in English infinitives would be used. A true infinitive cannot govern the genitive case. A participle is a noun, and therefore governs the genitive case, an infinitive is a verb, and therefore cannot govern a noun in the genitive. When one sees a thing called " an iufinitive " gov- erning something in the genitive, it may b« concluded that it is a noun, not a verb, and, consequently, not an infinitive. Bonnach a mhealladh na cloinne, is a bannock for de- ceiving of (NOT to deceive) the children ; bu mhath leis an righ Padruig a theaclid, is translated, the king loished Pat to come, where- as what is meant is, the king wished I'at to coining. That teach d=coniiiig and not come, This appears from the following, which oc- curs in NacTalla. " Bu mhath learn iad a dh' fhagail nan each," 1 wish them to kaye (to leaving) of the horses. Now, nan each is in- contestably a genitive case, therefore it must have been governed by a noun, not by a verb. The Latin amare was an infinitive, so it could not govern a genitive.but awatum was a noun and declinable like a noun. So was the old Celtic gerund, or verbal noun, equally declin- able, and many of them showed a dative case after the preposition do. Cuir in the dative, is, to this day, cur, which is its dative. But further, what about " bu mhath learn iad dha m' fhagail," (some write " ga m' fhag- ail ") ? If fayail equals in this case an infini- tive, i. e. if it is to be translated to come, we shall have my to come. In other words, be- cause fagail is qualified by a possessive pro- noun, or by a possessive adjective, we see that it is a noun, not a verb. My coming, my leaving, are possible, my to come, my to leave, are inconceivable. As every one of ihe so- called infinitives can (1) take a possessive ad- jective, and can (2) govern a noun in the geni- tive, the conclusion is that these "infinitives" are all nouns and not verbs.]

PRES. PART., a' deanamh, doing.

Passive Voice— [properly a GRAPHIC

or HISTORIC voice, not " PASSIVE." No in- transitive verb can have a passive voice, but all intransitive verbs in Gaelic have an im- personal or graphic form. Chualas a bhi 'fos- gladh an doruis, / heard (people) opening the door; dh'iarr a' nahuir a bhi 'ga taghal, the sea wished people to resort to her. Here " a bhi aig " seems to include a subject (people.) However, this is not revelant, see MacTaUa, vi. p. 50 " Deanar caol-direach air an aite," (they) made straight for the place. "Deanar" is an intransitive verb, like " go." Translate it for a moment as " go." If it be passive, then the sentence means (they) are go-ed (or icen.t-ed) straight &c. Again, cha tigear as eugmhais na pioba. (people) cannot get on. uith- out the bagpipe—1' ti-.-ear " is passive, then the sentence means without thf be corned.

Am feadh 'sa bhitheas a' ghrian a' dol d., while the sun goes south- wards; d. air gach ni, the sunward course with every thing— south course,right direction; cuimh- nich ain beagan a bha eadarainn, gu'm beil e d. dhomhs' agad, remember that there is a littir- outstanding between us, you, ought to have it ready for me. Prosperous course, turning from east to west in the direction taken by the sun. D. air gach ni, the sunward course (is the best) for every rhing. This is descriptive of the ceremony observed by the Druids, of walking round their temples, by the south, in the course of their divinations, keeping the tem- ple always on their rittht. This course was deemed prosperous, the contrary (tuathal) fatal, or at least, unpropitious. From this ancient superstition are "derived seve- ral customs which are still retained a- inongst us, as drinking over the left thumb, as Toland expresses it, or according to the course •un. Martin says," some of the poorer sort of people in the Western Isles retain the custom of performing these circles sunwise about the persons of their benefactors three times, when they bless them, and wish good success to all their enterprises. Some are

very careful, when they set out to sea, that the boat ba first rowed sunwise, and if this be neglected, they are afraid their voyage may prove unfortunate. I had thisctremouy paid me when in Islay by a poor woman, after I had {iiven her an alms. I desired her to let alone that compliment, for that I did not care for it ; but she insisted to make these three ordinary turns, and then prayed that God and MacCharmaig, the patron saint of that island, mi^ht bless and prosper me in all my affairs. When a Gael goes to drink out of a consecrated fountain, he approaches it by going round the place from east to west, and at funerals, the procession observes the same direction in drawing near the grave. Hence also is derived the old custom of describing sunwise a circle, with a burning brand, about houses, cattle, corn and corn-fields, to prevent their being burnt, or in any way injured by evil spirits, or by witchcraft. This fiery cir- cle was also made around women, as soon aa possible after parturition, and also around newly-born babes. These circles were, in later times, described by midwives, and were deem- ed effectual against the intrusion of the daoint sith or sithichean, who were particularly on the alert in times of childbed, and not infre- quently carried infants away, according to

but sadly altered in features and in persons appearance. Infants stolen by fairies are said to have voracious appetites, constantly craving for food. In this case it was usual for those who believed that their children had been taken away, to dig a grave in the fields on quarter-day and there to lay the fairy skeleton till next morning, at which time the parents went to the place, where they doubt- ed not to find their own child in place of the skeleton.

Though Friday has always been held an unlucky day in various Christian countries, and even among such people as the Brahmins, still in the Hebrides it is supposed to be the lucky day for sowing the seed in the ground. Good Friday in particular is a -favourite day for potato planting— even strict Catholics make a point of planting a bucketful 011 that day. Probably the idea is, that as the Re- surrection followed the Crucifixion and Bur- ial, so too in the case of the seed, that after death will come life.

tdo, a. see da.

do, prep. To (i.e. unto.) [Aspirates word fol- lowing, and governs the Dative case. It is often dh\ or redundantly do dh', or a dh, be- fore a word commencing with a vowel. In other cases it is often a, or is omitted entire- ly. Chaidh e dh' Eirhm, [or do dh' Eirinn, or a dh' Eirinn,] he went to Ireland ; ckaidn iad a Phort-rlgh, or chaidh iad Phort-righ, they went to Portree.

Do is joined with the personal pronouns thus : — domh, to me ; duit, to thee ; da, to him ; di, to her ; duinn, to us ; duibh, to you ; doiba, to them. These prepositional pronouns are generally aspirated.

Do is a remarkable preposition too subtle to analyze, but the examples given below give a fair idea of its different meaniug in various contexts. Do 'n duine, to the man ; do d' mhathair, to thy mother; do mo re"ir-sa, ac- cording to my view»; gur pailt liagh do na ramhan na lunn, the blades of the oars are too big for the oars; a dh' olc no a dh' eiginn [or a choir no a dh' eugcoir, or a dheoin no a dh' aindeoin,] somehow or other,by hook or by crook, willy m'lly. As a prepositional pronoun :— Is aithne dhomh sin, / know that ; is math dhomh sin, that is well (yooit) for me ; is le"ir dhomh, I can see ; leig dhomh, permit me; da* 'dh' enrich dhuit ? what has befallen thee f nacn ann domh a dh' e"irich ! to m^ what evil has 6«- fallen ! cha'n 'eildhonih ach— , all that is ne- cessary for mfiv—; leig dhomh, let me alonet (also leig learn); roimh tighinn dhuinu, before we came ; mhothaich e da ged a bha e uaig- neach, he perceived (to) it though it was in se- cret; is dona an ceann sin dhuit, that is ayainst your health; an urrainn duit ceann a thoirt dhaibh ? are you able to vanquish them i (lit. a
