'" CUQChUm, at my left. This word is still used in some parts of Ireland, but oom cli is 

 more general. In Bishop Sanctan's Hymn it is glossed by ppim a ruairh. 



»« I661US : now obsolete. 



•" ISIUS : now obsolete. 



"* I MGRUS, at my back: now obsolete. This form of prayer, namely, placing God and the 

 persons of the Blessed Trinity at the right, left, above, below, &c., is still in use among the Irish, 

 and found in the most ancient MSS., as in Bishop Sanctan's Hymn, already referred to, and in an 

 old hymn preserved in the Leabhar Breac, thus : " Cpiyc F"*"' Cpipc bam chmo, Cpipc ceccap 

 Dom coeB, com cpioe, com cliaB, pij niiiie na noeB." Also in Maelisu's Hymn, preserved in the 

 Liber Hymnorum : " In Spipuc HoeB immunn, mnunn ocup ocunn ; In Spipuc NoeB cuccunn ; 

 InSpipucNoeB o'aipceBap cuipp ip ap n.anma; DiappnaouD co polmaap jaBuo, ap 5alpa,"&c. 



'^^ CT21t)]lJ, heart : now written cpoioe in Ireland, but cridhe in the Highlands of Scotland. 



"" imRORt)Q : now obsolete, but explained in an old glossary quoted by O'Reilly : " lom- 

 popoup, I said ; lompapoaiopioD, they said." 



"' 5'N, mouth. "5'on .1. bdal." — O'Clery. "Nim cpuinic a n-jion joa .i. bpaon opucca 

 a mbeal na paipge." — Idem. Welsh, geneu, mouth. 



'« ROt)Om CQSRQdiQR, who speaks to me. This form is now obsolete, and is pecuhar 

 to the dialect called Bearla Feine. The verb laBpaim, I speak, is still the word used in Ireland, but 

 it is inflected differently. Ro liom laBpap is the nearest form to this which would now be under- 

 stood. Qc laBpapcaip is another form found in the best MSS., to express who speaks. 



153 iNjorn t)6RCQ6tI)QR. This form of expression is now obsolete, but the verb oeapcaim 

 is still well understood. Horn' oepcapraip is another ancient form of this phrase. 



'" C6UQ1S, dat. form of cluap, the ear : sic hodie. 



'" RODam ChCOaChaR, that hearkens to me. This phrase is also obsolete in the 

 modern Irish, but is explained in the old Irish Glossaries. " Clora .i. cloipom : po cloca .i. do clop 

 no DO cuaoluD." — O'Clery. Rom' clumepcaip, is another ancient form of this phrase.
