■^ ^l^Ctt), of the love : sic hodie, but the d is always aspirated. 

 *« hlRUphlN : evidently intended for Seraphin. 



* IN, in, on : sic hodie. 



'" URCQCait), humility. This word is explained in O'Clery's Glossary, by the modern 

 word uriialoiD, obedience, obeisance. The latter bears a close affinity to the Latin, the former 

 none whatever. 



" CI1H156C', of angels : sic hodie, but spelled n-ainjeal. 



" hi, in : the aspirate h is frequently prefixed to the preposition i, in. 



" pReSClSlN, expectation. It is now obsolete; but it is of frequent occurrence in this 

 sense in the Leahhar Breac. — See fol. 18, h, i, and 127, h, i. 



" QR CGNN, Hterally, on head, is used as a compound preposition in the best Irish MSS. to 

 signify for, towards, for the purpose of, to the end that. 



^ pOChRQlCe, reward : this is the gen. form of pochpaic, which O'Clery explains by luai- 

 oeachc, reward, recompense ; and in the Annals of the Four Masters, at the year 1541, it is used 

 in the sense of eternal reward. This word is of frequent occurrence in the Leabhar Breac : 

 "mapa epoalca lapam immao na pochpaice nemoai." — Fol. 127, h, i. 



* GRNQl^^hl&h, prayers, dat. pi. of epnaije, prayer. The modern word is upnai^e. 



^ hllQSQC, noble : now uapal. In the old Irish MSS. h is frequently prefixed to words 

 beginning with vowels, sometimes to avoid a hiatus, and sometimes for no apparent reason. 



'^ aChRQCb, of fathers : sic hodie. 



*> UQlRCheC6Q16, prophecies, dat. form of caipcecal, prophecy. In the more modern 

 MSS. it is written caipceaoal, which is the speUing adopted in O'Clery's Glossary, in which it is 

 xplained by paipcine, the modern word for prophecy, borrowed from the Latin vaticinium. 



*° pQChQ, prophets : sic hodie, Lat. vates. 



*' pi3aicepcai6, dat. plural of ppmcepr, preaching. This word is written ppecepc in 

 Cormac's Glossary, under the word cpuimrep, a priest, and ppoicepc in the Annals of the Four 

 Masters, at the year 1441. In a passage in the same Annals, under the year 1020, caraoip na 

 ppoicepca, literally, the chair of preaching, is used to express a pulpit. 



*' QpSCQ6, of the Apostles : sic hodie. This was certainly borrowed from the Latin. 



«hlResai5, dat. plural of ipip, faith, religion. "Do pilao cpeiome coup ippe."— i«/s 

 of St. Patrick in the Leabhar Breac. " Na h-1ppe Cachoilci," of the Catholic faith.— itirf.
