Product Information

An excerpt from Renton & MacDonald’s Abair! (alternatively titled Scottish Gaelic-English/English-Scottish Gaelic Dictionary) Secondly, this dictionary can be very misleading to students. It lists obscure and archaic terms side by side with words that are still in use, with no indication of which is which.

The dictionary will document fully the history of the Scottish Gaelic language and culture from the earliest manuscript material onwards, [7] placing Scottish Gaelic in context with Irish and Lowland Scots, and it will show the relationship between Scottish Gaelic and Irish. [ citation needed] Still Dwelly’s Dictionary is a requirement for the serious learner. It may be older but still has as many headwords as all other dictionaries combined. My wife and I have four copies (two are almost worn out). Colmcille supports the promotion of Gaelic and Irish in Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, and it strengthens the ties between these countries. The organisation is funded by the governments of the three areas. Others are lists of specialty vocabulary, including for example the names of Gaelic plants which have faded from use as people have ceased to use the plants themselves for nutrition, medicine, and dyes:stór: see also stor, stòr, štor, stór-, Variations of "stor"‎ stór (Icelandic) Origin & history From Old Norse stórr, from Proto-Germanic *stōraz. Pronunciation IPA: /stouːr/ Rhymes: -ouːr Adjective stór (comparative stærri, superlative stærstur)… Neil MacAlpine’s Pronouncing Gaelic-English Dictionary,“to Which Is Prefixed a Concise, but Most Comprehensive Grammar,” published1866.

Ethically speaking, it’s best to buy your dictionary from a place that will support the Gaelic language in some way. These include: Translation: Dictionaries should never be used to translate an entire phrase, sentence, or text word-for-word ( especially for something as permanent and expensive as a tattoo)! Dictionaries are a guide to the lexicon (words) of a language; they do not usually contain all the grammatical information you need to use those words correctly and coherently in a sentence. Even when they do contain grammar guides, those are to refresh your memory, not to substitute for taking a language course. This can’t be stressed enough. Pròiseact nan Ealan is the principal national development agency for the Gaelic arts in Scotland, they are based in Storonoway in Lewis and they are involved in numerous projects connected with the Gaelic arts.As you may have realized by now, you can’t trust every Gaelic dictionary that you find on the internet, or even on the shelf of a bookstore. Most of the time, dictionary recommendations should come word-of-mouth from your Gaelic teacher. One of the Gaelic teachers I polled recommended Mark in preference to the Watson dictionary (see below). Nonetheless, another Gaelic teacher offered a warning: Mark’s is an excellent dictionary but I’ve seen a very few things that would completely mislead a learner. I can’t think of one offhand, but there are things that may be right within certain contexts and are far afield in terms of everyday translation. (And I don’t mean idiomatic phrases.) I’ve seen very few, but they are there.
