MEDIAEVAL AND MODERN IRISH SERIES

In order to further the study of Irish literature the Department of Finance has made a special grant tonbsp;provide for the re-publication of mediaeval andnbsp;modern texts iir a form suitable for class work andnbsp;for the general reader. At the instance of the Ministernbsp;for Finance an editorial committee has been formednbsp;to direct the work. The members of the committeenbsp;are : Dr. E. J. Gwynn, Provost of Trinity, Missnbsp;Knott, Dr. Bergin, Dr. Best, Professor O’Toole, Mr.nbsp;Delargy, Dr. Dillon.

It is hoped to supply editions of stories from the Ulster, Fenian and mythological cycles, and of whatnbsp;is best in Irish poetry and prose.

In the matter of editing, uniformity has not been attempted, the different editors being free tonbsp;adopt the system which they prefer, subject to thenbsp;approval of the committee. The price of the volumesnbsp;will not be uniform, as they will vary in size, but itnbsp;will be kept as low as possible.

PREFACE.

This is one of the best told of Old Irish sagas; it gives a vivid picture of the warlike spirit of the time. In two MSS, of thenbsp;earliest version it is called; Scela (Sgêla) muici M{ei)c Dathónbsp;(H, HI §20), ‘Tidings of the pig of MacDathó,’ in the third (L)nbsp;it is entitled: Incipit Seel (sing.) Mucci M{ei)c Dathó. In a laternbsp;redaction (R §20) it is designated Scaradh Ulad ocus Connacht imnbsp;chain M{ei)c Dd-Thó ocus immd muic, ‘The separation of thenbsp;Ulstermen and the Connaughtmen on account of the dog of M.D.nbsp;and of his pig’; likewise in the latest versions (in Edinb.nbsp;iomsgaradh instead of scaradh). The name of Mac Dathó (withnbsp;the stress on d)i is explained in a somewhat later saga (Rev. Celt.nbsp;VIII 52) as ‘the son of two silent per.sons’ (tó = tüa), his parentsnbsp;having been deaf-mutes. This rather doubtful explanation hasnbsp;been accepted by some redactors and poets who write da, with anbsp;long a [e.g. R) and make Thé alliterate with t (§22 a, f.).

The story has come down to us in six manuscripts ;

L The Book of Leinster, written about 1160, the earliest of them. The text of this MS. has been published three times, first bynbsp;Windisch, Ir. Texte i 93 sqq.; then in the facsimile of thenbsp;R. Ir. Academy, pp. iii sqq.; finally by N. Kershaw Chadwick, An Early Irish Reader (Cambridge, 1927).

H Trinity College, Dublin, H.3.18, pp. 743-748, written about 1700 (cf. Catal. of Abbott and Gwynn, p. 155), evidentlynbsp;copied from a very good MS. Published in Anecdota fromnbsp;Ir. MSS. V, 8 sqq. by Annie M. Scarre, on whom I dependnbsp;for the readings.

For anbsp;photograph of this copy I am obliged to Dr. Vernam E. Hull.nbsp;R Oxford, Bodleian Library, Rawlinson B. 512, fol. 105 v 2-108nbsp;r 2, written in the 15th century, probably. Edited by Kunonbsp;Meyer, Hibernica Minora, pp. 51 sqq.

Edinburgh National Library of Scotland, MS. XXXVI, fol. 86r-9iv, written 1690-91. It has been published by W. J.nbsp;Watson, Zeitschr. f. Celt. Philol, XVII 213 sqq.

H.6.8 Trinity College, Dublin, pp. 37-50, written about 1777. A transcript of this I owe to the kindness of Dr. Vernam E.nbsp;Hull.

The two last-named MSS., differing from each other in some details, represent a modernization of the story that may have beennbsp;made in the 15th century. The spelling is very bad. As Watsonnbsp;pointed out for Edinb., the text was based upon the redactionnbsp;contained in R (but not upon that actual MS.) The changes are,nbsp;however, so considerable that these MSS. are of no value fornbsp;restoring the original text. As a specimen, to give an idea ofnbsp;their aspect, a section of some extent (§§15-16) will suffice; it isnbsp;printed at the end of this Preface (H.6.8 according to the transcript, Edinb. from Watson’s edition).

R itself does not preserve the original text with any accuracy ; it contains innovations, expansions, etc. in almost every section.nbsp;This remoulding may date from the 12th century^. The interpolation concerning Cu-RU {=Cü-Roi) mac Dairi in §18 pointsnbsp;to Munster as the place of origin. Tlie full te.xt is printed infranbsp;on the lower part of each page according to Meyer’s edition,nbsp;without alterations. It may be of some help for the understandingnbsp;of the tale, as its style is somewhat smoother than that of thenbsp;earlier version, though misunderstandings on the part of the

“ The text is written by the same scribe as Baile in Scail (fol. lor sqq., cf. Best, ZCP XVII 390) which he took from the Book of Dub-Da-Leithe (Abbot of Armagh 1049-1064), and K. Meyer (Rev. Celt.nbsp;XI 437) concludes that the following texts are derived from the samenbsp;source. Then this version would date from the nth century. Butnbsp;the conclusion is by no means certain.

PREFACE

remoulder are not wholly wanting. The words contained in it (except manifest blunders) are entered in the Glossary like thosenbsp;of the principal text.

The original story is best preserved in the three MSS. H,H1,L. They are independent of one another. For no two of them agreenbsp;against the third in such indubitable alterations of the originalnbsp;as cannot be merely accidental. At first sight, it is true, therenbsp;seems to be one contradicting instance, L and HI adding in §3nbsp;to the five bruidnea enumerated in H (and R), a sixth : brudennbsp;Blai Briuga. But as even in this isolated case the two MSS. donbsp;not use the same words, one is forced to conclude that thisnbsp;addition was made independently on two occasions ; it is based,nbsp;probably, on a poem naming indeed six bruidnea, a copy of whichnbsp;is preserved in this very MS., HI, fol. 39 (49)v3, Thus, as a rule,nbsp;wherever two of the MSS, have the same reading it may benbsp;accepted as the original. The same is not true of the poem §21.nbsp;Here H and HI agree in several alterations of the original text,nbsp;thus pointing to a common intermediate copy; cf. a. rosmbo, b.nbsp;a linaib, h. scell.

The text of R exhibits some affinity with that of HI, especially at the beginning, cf. §i ribrug- HI, brughaid R ; noimthigid HI,nbsp;noimthiged R; dothoet techta HI, dothiagat in tan-sin techta R;nbsp;dedechotar HI, dodechatar R; but also farther on: §12 Salcada nonbsp;Salcalgai HI, Salcada (no calccu) R; §15 arcigei HI, arcinget R.nbsp;On the other hand, R has some innovations in common also withnbsp;L: §3 socht mór L R; cen chotlod L, cen coilad R; conid L R; §5nbsp;corolatkea L, corolatha R; §6 roimthigitar L, roimihigset R; §7 nirbonbsp;L R; andds L, inds R; §9 atrullais LR; §10 coniben L, gurben R; §18nbsp;corralsat grith mór L, curoldsat gdir mór R; §19 nothogad L,nbsp;notoghfad R. Thus, no doubt, the reshaper had more than onenbsp;MS. at his disposal. Once he seems to come nearer to the originalnbsp;than any other MS.: §20 forroleblaing in carpal, where H, HI, Lnbsp;have the late form ro'ling isin carpal (or -put); cf. forruleblangatar,nbsp;Milan Glosses 129c 21 (Thes. Palaeohib.^I 442).

My aim is not to reconstruct the original, but, as closely as possible, the common source from which the three principal MSS.nbsp;derive. This was not the original itself, but a transcript con-

PREFACE

taining a certain amount of later forms introduced by successive copyists. Judging by the language on the whole, I think thenbsp;original tale was composed (roughly) about A.D. 800, The storynbsp;is mentioned by Flannacan mac Cellaich (fSgb) in a poemnbsp;(Yellow Book of Lecan, 125 a 31), and the saga-lists (probably ofnbsp;the tenth century) seem to call it Orgain Meic Dathó the slaughternbsp;of M.D.’ All our MSS. agree in such late forms as do'cüadais-siunbsp;§9, tanacais-siu §13. The neuter was occasionally preserved, cf.nbsp;a n-ag §7 (but ind ag L), a n-aill i (referring to tadall), cridenbsp;n-ega 15, but often changed; secht ndoruis i. 5, in leth aile, innbsp;tech 5, foysin {foran) coiced 14; cf. gai n-aillQ, where the neuternbsp;pronoun is applied to a masculine noun. In dos'leicim-se innbsp;ngai /g the infixed pronoun -s- has no meaning, or it refersnbsp;to the masculine gai. Thus we may presume a common source,nbsp;say, of the tenth or eleventh century.

The texts of L and H having been printed in extenso, and most of the variants of HI quoted by Windisch, it would be superfluousnbsp;to reproduce the countless orthographical differences of the MSS.nbsp;I have accordingly noted only variants of some importance. Fornbsp;the rest, I have selected the spelling that seems to be the mostnbsp;archaic, but changing at discretion nd and nn, final -e and -i. I havenbsp;kept, however, -a not only for Old-Irish -ae, but also for -ai wherevernbsp;no MS. preserves the earlier spelling; also do- and yo- for O, I. da-,nbsp;ya- (do- and yo- with the infixed pronoun -a-). The signs -] andnbsp;et are everywhere replaced by ocus, though sometimes they maynbsp;designate the shorter form os, is, 's; ocus is written fully Hnbsp;(and R) §20, is HI 3 (and 24b), s H il. The abbreviation dd isnbsp;always extended to dano (it is written dna HI §19, dn- 12). Fornbsp;ol, al (frequent in HI), oy, ay ‘says (he),’ which alternate in thenbsp;MSS. without any system, the first form is adopted throughout.nbsp;The gen. sg. and the nom. pi. of mac ‘son’, usually designated bynbsp;m-c or m. in the MSS., are printed meic; they are written mec innbsp;H §5, HI I, 12, 20, 21, cet-mic H 12. The acute accent as marknbsp;of length is retained wherever any MS. has it; other long vowelsnbsp;and diphthongs are marked by a macron (e.g. d, ai, iu), only dianbsp;(originally di-a) is left without it. Where I have departed from

all the MSS. (except in orthographical trifles) my reading is designated by T. I have retained the numbering of the paragraphs in the first edition (by Windisch).

This earlier version shows in §20 good acquaintance with Kildare and the surrounding country; so it may have beennbsp;composed somewhere in Leinster, though the south-west ofnbsp;Ireland was not quite unknown to the author (cf. §7).

The tale has inspired two later poets. The first poem (infra §21) is annexed to the old text in L, HI (printed Ir.nbsp;Texte I 106 sqq.) and H (Anecd. V, 16 sq.). Its author availednbsp;himself of the occasion to exhibit his acquaintance with the namesnbsp;of Irish heroes in general, not merely with those mentioned in thenbsp;tale, to which he does not confine himself.

The other poem (§22), in praise of Mac Datho’s pig, is preserved in four MSS. In HI it follows poem I (printed IT 108 sq.). Itnbsp;is also contained in Oxford, Bodl., Laud 610, fol. 58 b i (publishednbsp;by Kuno Meyer, ZCP III 36 sq., cf. Ir. Texte II 168 sq.),^ in thenbsp;Book of Lecan (R. Ir. Ac.), fol. 259r (p. 517) 2 (I owe a transcriptnbsp;to Dr. R. I. Best) and in the Stowe MS., R. Ir. Ac., D. II. 2. Itnbsp;has been edited, on the basis of all the MSS., by Edward Gwynn.nbsp;The Metrical Dindshenchas IV 194 sqq., on whom I depend fornbsp;the readings of the Stowe MS.

In the two last-named copies it forms an appendix to the Dinnsenchas of Mag Léna (Moylen in Co. Offaly), an explanationnbsp;(in prose and verse) of this place name, fantastical as all thosenbsp;etymologies are ; for the original meaning of mag léna is simplynbsp;' the plain of meadows.’ It is printed infra §23 as a good instancenbsp;of the usual procedure of these fanciful etymologists. For thenbsp;prose I have followed the edition of Whitley Stokes from a MS. ofnbsp;Rennes (Rev. Celt. XVI 63), also the somewhat amplified versionnbsp;in the Book of Lecan, fol. 5i7r, published by E. O’Curry, Battlenbsp;of Magh Léna, pp. 15 sq. (note) and reprinted in Ir. Texte. I 112

(for some corrections, see Stokes, l.c. p. 64 note 2). As to the verses, I reproduce the edition of Edward Gwynn, Metr.nbsp;Dindshenchas IV 192, 194, based upon nine MSS. I have quotednbsp;only a few of the variants noted by the Editor. This story ofnbsp;Lena has again given occasion to an addition to the Dinnsenchasnbsp;of Carman, published by Stokes, Rev. Celt.

NOTES

* nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;(p. i) To'eth would be nearer to tait (H), but in our text, therenbsp;are no traces of the form to- in pretonic position.

* nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;(p. 2) a'taibred. Old-Ir. a n- 'that which,’ ‘what’ was not followed by prototonic verbal forms; later on the construction changed,nbsp;cf. Bergin, Eriu XI 139 n.i; na' (L) is Middle-Irish, an amalgamationnbsp;of a n- with Old-Ir. nl ‘that which.’ In 16 all the MSS. (except R)nbsp;have this form in na'tongat.

® (p. 2) Perhaps in-a cummain (read commain) in H (and R) after M cétóir belongs to the original and the second a chommain is annbsp;early mistake for some word such as a chomméit.

* nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;(p. 3) The divergence of the MSS. points to the Latin form dixit,nbsp;which H has preserved a few lines below.

® (p. 3) cenco'tobnadhut HI, 'tabnad H are probably nearer to the original than 'lahradar L, but I cannot sa5'' which verb is intended.nbsp;Do'adban ‘he shows’ has no deponent forms. I suppose that itnbsp;was a deponent 2. sg. and that the original text read : boithntnbsp;(cf. H) ni con'airlide ceni't. . . .der fri ncch.

® (p. 3) The proverb ni'aithenar main ar mug seems to mean: 'For a slave no treasure (or jewel) is given in recompense.' It isnbsp;irrelevant here, being appended to the preceding proverb merelynbsp;for the sake of rhyme.

’ (p. 4) One would expect the conditional at'bértha-so, but the rhyme with do menma-so seems to point to the past subjunctivenbsp;at'bertha-so. If so the first line is to be taken as a protasis, somewhatnbsp;loosely connected with the second: ‘Even if thou wouldst tell itnbsp;to a woman.’

® (p. 4) This line has a syllable too much. Originally perhaps: Mani Conchobor bera with poetical division of mani'bera, ‘if C. doesnbsp;not get (it).’

*. (p. 4) Originally perhaps bas mul : 'what of cattle and of land will be mine.’ Conjecture of the late Prof. A. Thumb.

(p. 4) This line is a syllable short in H, L. Mada in HI (‘a refusal to Ailill lt;isgt; idle’) is no doubt only an attempt atnbsp;emendation, not the original reading. Fdl-Mag is, like Mag Failnbsp;and Inis Fail, a bardic name for Ireland : ‘he (Ailill) will slay Irelandnbsp;all over the people,’ poetic diction for ‘he’ll slay the people all overnbsp;Ireland.’ In the next line the original order may have been: macnbsp;Mdgach dodon'bera, -béra rhyming with era.

(p. 4) Dia at the end of a line can count as two syllables.

(P- 5) The words I have put within brackets seem to be an original gloss which H has overlooked and which L has transformed.

(p. 6) aniar ocus anair ‘from the west and from the east,’ that is ‘from Connaught and from Ulster.’

(p. 7) The reading dia odu, H (miswritten for fothu) seems to be supported by the poem §22b, but was more likely borrowednbsp;from it by the source of H, Dia tarsnu (L, HI) is probably not an

( 25 )

error for tarsunn, dat. of tarsann ' condiment,’ but signifies that forty slaughtered oxen lay across the pig. Dia fothu, literally asnbsp;its basis,' means ‘ as its supply ' ; cf. Fled Bricrend §90 : innbsp;caiirathmir cona fothu (fotha, fodai, fotug- MSS) di Und, ‘ thenbsp;Champion’s Portion with its supply of drink.’ R and the text ofnbsp;23 imply that the oxen were needed to move the pig.

(p. 7) dabar in ni dabar samail riss sin is written for do-bar, do in the sense of di. Literally; ‘That [sin) is not by reason of (di)nbsp;your equality to it.’ The meaning may be: ‘This quantity of meatnbsp;is not offered to you as though it were equal to your title, ye noblemen of two fifths of Ireland; you are entitled to more, and you shallnbsp;get more to-morrow.’ H has changed da-bar into ar-bar ‘for your, ’nbsp;which gives the same sense. Mac Dathó is flattering his powerfulnbsp;guests and at the same time boasting that all this food is a merenbsp;trifle for the I.einstermen.

(p. 7) ane, ana is the common form of the particle after adverbs of place, but the agreement of H and HI points to amnenbsp;as the original reading. But this is a mistake rather than an oldernbsp;form of the particle.

(p. 7) sund ‘here’ beside ba{i)le i n- ‘ there where’ is strange, and L may be right in omitting it.

** (p. 7) I assume, with Windisch, that Senldech (here and §2ie) is a proper name, not 'an old warrior’ of the Araid. He and Lugaidnbsp;mac Con-Rui are from West-Munster, but appear here as accompanying the men of Connaught, as do other Munstermen in the saganbsp;Tain Bo Cuailnge; cf. R §18.

** (p. 8) The exact meaning of ba menie rota Luachra Dedad lim-sa fo-a tóin, ‘by me the reddish (dirty) water of Luachair (the reed)nbsp;of Deda was often under their posteriors’ is not quite clear; perhaps,nbsp;that they often, in their flight, fell into that marshy water. For thenbsp;signification of rota see W. J. Watson, Zeitschrift f. Celt. Philologienbsp;XVII 222.

(p. 8) -tarat ‘he gave’ with the subject int olnfer, but without an object, yields no sense. One might take it as 3. sg. pres, ofnbsp;to-ar-reth- or to-ad-reth (-tarrat or -tarat) ‘to overtake, reach’; butnbsp;this verb seems to be always transitive. So int olnfer is probablynbsp;an old mistake for the acc. in n-oinfer, the construction beingnbsp;impersonal: ‘until it brought the one man above the (other) men’;nbsp;that is, he obtained the superiority. As a token of his superiority,nbsp;of his prevalence, he hangs his weapons (gaisced) higher up on thenbsp;wall than those of the rest. Cf. Fled Bricrend §68 where Cii-Chulainn is directed to do the same thing.

(p. 10) In HI the comrama of §§10-14 indicated on the margin by numbers from .ii. to .vii.

(p. ii) Is mé ro'glan mo goo fodéoid ‘I have cleaned my spears at last, ’ probably ‘with the blood of foes.’ ‘To clean the spears’ innbsp;this sense may be a proverbial expression used by warriors. Thenbsp;vocative a Muinremuir seems to fit the conte.xt better than irnnbsp;Muinremor or i m-Muinremor (H), though R takes it in the latternbsp;sense (innat ‘in thee’).

(p. 12) Rotanac-sa probably an error for ro'dnac-sa.

(p. 12) The impersonal construction rfo-^Vm'c? for 'thou earnest’ is uncommon, but not without parallels ; cf. Tain Bo Ciiailnge (ed.nbsp;Strachan-O’Keeffe 2995) • fo'gaet co'ndechaid a altaib do ‘ he hasnbsp;been wounded so that he has gone out of his joints (i.e. so thatnbsp;he has been parted joint from joint)’ ; Ir. Recht, p. 8 §9 ; tic di conbsp;ac.s iogai ’ she comes to the age of choice.’

** (p. 14) On the margin of L the two sections beginning with Fochen are marked .K., which is to be expanded into retoric, indicating that these passages are composed in a rhetorical style. Theynbsp;consist chiefly of poetical epithets to the names of the twm heroes,nbsp;mostly of four .syllables and connected by alliteration.

(p. n) At comsa fritn means doubtless ’thou art a match for me.’ For comsa HI reads coimsa, according to Mrs. Chadwicknbsp;(Early Ir. Reader, p. 47) ; the photograph I have is not quitenbsp;distinct here, but coimsa is rather supported by atchimsi in 1^. Comsanbsp;and coimsa. (for coimsea) may be the genitive of commus (com-mess)nbsp;’equal valuation’ ’ comparison ’ ; hence ; ‘thou art comparable tonbsp;me.’ The participle coimse has a similar signification ; ’meet,nbsp;fit, suitable, ’ but the ending -a points to the substantive. Therenbsp;is another word comsa, frequent in the Laws : ’an associationnbsp;for doing the same work,’ but that wmuld not suit here. Insteadnbsp;of m~c Findchoime one might expect the vocative {meic), but I donbsp;not know of any vocatives without a preceding a, except a fewnbsp;examples with »i0 ’my’ (ZCP XIX 365). The nominative of a nounnbsp;designating the person implied by the second person of the verb,nbsp;seems to be possible in Irish ; cf. Fled Bricrend §6 : Dênaid immac-allaim didiu . . . liathad do degdainib Vlad ‘ Speak with eachnbsp;other ... a small number of the nobles of Ulster.’ The emendation bc’- Pokorny (ZCP XVII 304), who would cliange ad~ ornbsp;ai-comsa into ad'eosnai and translate : ’ The son of Findchoem isnbsp;encountering me,’ is not convincing.

(p, 15) I' has the form Magach (not Matach) in this place only, wRile the other MSS. have throughout the text only Magack,nbsp;which was evidently also the form in the source of L.

(j). 15) This ’rhetorical’ section includes the mo.st difficult passages of the text. Some of the problems have been treated bynbsp;Pokorny, ZCP XVTI 304 sq. In the first sentence it may be asked,nbsp;what is ’that’ {6n) which will be or become clear, bright (menn) atnbsp;the meeting and at the separation of the two heroes, and which willnbsp;be told of (airscéla] and witnessed {fiadnaise). Perhaps the welcomenbsp;(fochen) they are bidding one another. Or, rather, the characternbsp;they have ascribed to each other in the mutually applied epithets.nbsp;F'er hrot ‘the man of goads’ may be ‘the driver of oxen, thenbsp;ploughman’ or ‘the charioteer.’ But fer manath was alreadynbsp;obscure to the scribe who altered it into fer man(n)ach (H, R),nbsp;thinking probably of the tribe Fir Manach. But there is nonbsp;particular reason for emphasizing their testimony. Pokornynbsp;proposes to read/cr menath ‘the man of awls,’ that would be ‘thenbsp;worker in leather,’ ’the shoemaker.’ But so common a word asnbsp;menath, ntenad is scarcely likely to have been miswritten. However,nbsp;I have no plausible solution of the riddle. Probably the meaningnbsp;is that even the' lower people will remember the fight.

Farther on, ar'cichsel (H) is no doubt the correct form, future 3. pi. of ar'cing ‘steps forward,' ‘marches to the encounter.’ Arcigetnbsp;(HI), w'hich resembles the future ar'cichet of ar'cl ‘sees, surveys,’nbsp;seems to be a blunder for the present ar'cinget (see R) ; ad'cichsetnbsp;(L) is certainly wrong. The most difficult word is loman, generallynbsp;meaning ‘rope, string, leash’ which, however, seems to yield nonbsp;satisfactory meaning here. Lumman ‘shield’ and ‘cloak’ lies toonbsp;far off phonetically. One might suppose, with Windisch, an oldnbsp;mistake for leoman, gen. pi. of leoni ‘lion’ and take the word to benbsp;an attribute of lond-gliaid : ‘an angry fight (in the manner) of lions,’nbsp;If aifg is nom. pi. of arg ‘a prominent man, a prominent warrior,’nbsp;then it is the subject of ar'cichsel, and na da err cannot belong tonbsp;the same sentence, but must be taken as an absolute nominative,nbsp;introducing the following one : ‘the two chariot-fighters, they willnbsp;perform . . .’ To reject it, with Pokorny, as an interpolation isnbsp;too drastic. However, it is not altogether impossible, thoughnbsp;unlikely, that airg may be the acc. sg. of airg ‘trouble, difficulty’ :nbsp;‘the two chariot-fighters will encounter trouble' ; in that case.nbsp;lond-gliaid would be either in apposition to airg or a poetical dativenbsp;without preposition : ‘through’ or ‘in the fight.’ Perhaps lomannbsp;is gen. pi. of lom[m)dn,‘ a branch or trunk stripped of its bark’,nbsp;used here for ‘spear-staff’; ‘an angry fight of (with) spear-staffsnbsp;(spears/.

Eblait écht ar écht ‘they will perform violent deed for violent deed,’ ‘they will exchange violent deeds’ seems to me a plausiblenbsp;emendation of Pokorny’s for {h)echtair acht H, HI, echtarech {echnbsp;tar ech gt;) R. Regaid fer dar fer, literally : ‘man will go over (ornbsp;beyond) man’ means probably : ‘Many a man will step over anothernbsp;(slain) man,’ cf, §21

(p. 15) In Is fir do chungid chomrame cuccum-sa, compared with In fir tusso do rainn na-mmucce (§15), evidently something isnbsp;wanting before do chungid. I have inserted Cet, since it wouldnbsp;be more readily omitted after Conall than tussu, which would givenbsp;the same sense. ‘It is just that Cet claims contests from me’

( — he is right in claiming them.) R adds sin at the end, but this attempt at correction is not convincing.

(p. 16) on here is somewhat strange (cf. §9) ; if right, the translation would be ; ‘That was not found by the Connaughtmen,nbsp;(to wit) a warrior to sustain it.‘ K. Meyer (Hib. Min. p. 63) rendersnbsp;it by ‘truly, ’ but without giving examples for such a use.

(p. 17) Literally : ‘For in the house there was (had grown up) an ill behaviour of slant (iniquitous) dartings by bad men.’ Mrs.nbsp;Chadwick (p. 49) thinks this might be a parallel to the Scandinaviannbsp;custom of ‘bone-throwing’ at feasts. But that was not performednbsp;by ‘bad men.’ It seems to mean simply that some rogues hadnbsp;taken to throwing darts against the opposite party.

(p. 17) The force of the article is not clear as nine men carrying the pig’s belly have not been mentioned before ; it is wanting innbsp;§§ 22c and 23.

(p. 17) In L Windisch, followed by Mrs. Chadwick, reads ra sliss, the facsimile ra Hiss (H : ra slis, HI : ro slis). If thenbsp;latter is right, ra stands for ria {fri-a) with a proleptic pronoun.nbsp;Otherwise ra (ro) is to be changed into re {fri].

-ocr page 49-

’* (p. i8) There can be no doubt that so-imol ‘a good drinking-round’ (HI) is the original reading. Some copyists did not understand the somewhat coarse joke that the mutual slaying of the guests was called 'performing a good drinking-round.’ H simplynbsp;omitted the word. L was reminded by sointol of the verb sóudnbsp;'to turn’ and of mol ‘mill-beam/ and interpreted that the bloodnbsp;would have turned a mill-beam, supplying the verb co-rralsat withnbsp;another object (grith mdr). A somewhat similar change appearsnbsp;in R.

(p. 20) Na tri coicait (so L, .1. H, HI) coica fer, if correct, would mean ; ‘the three fifties (and) fifty men,’ ‘two hundrednbsp;men.’ But I suspect coicail to be an old error for coicid and coicanbsp;for coicait or coictaib : ‘The three provinces (Ulster, Connaught,nbsp;Munster) consisting of (many) fifties of men.’

(p. 20) roth elt ‘a wheel of hilts’ yields no sense, nor is a verb telt- (ro'thelt) known to me. Moreover, -elt would make a fullnbsp;rhyme with Cet and ceyt, not as a rule permitted in the odd lines,nbsp;where consonance is required. Neither can one comparenbsp;the somewhat obscure roselt (rhyme ; lecht) ZCP VI 269, st. 8;nbsp;Togail Bruidne Da-Derga §93. -alt would do, but what does itnbsp;mean ? ‘A circle of cliffs’ as an epithet of Conchobor ?

’’ (p. 20) Aidne being in Connaught, anair ‘from the east’ is strange, but the consonance excludes aniar. There was a Conallnbsp;of Aidne who had come over sea from the lands of the Piets (sonbsp;anair) with his father Óengus, according to a poem of Mac Liacnbsp;(tioi6) ; see Edw. Gwynn, Metr. Dindshenchas III 440, Stokes,nbsp;Rev. Celt. XV 478 sq. The poet or an earlier copyist may havenbsp;confounded the names Conall and Congal.

(p. 21) ar seems here to stand ior for, as often in later times ; ‘on a (large) number of battle-fields.’ Neither would ar ‘for’ innbsp;the sense of ‘prepared for’ or ‘encountering (many battle-fields)’nbsp;be altogether impossible.

(p. 21) The whole line is somewhat obscure. The MSS. read : L : gabais fianbrat dar sciath scenb brónderg toidlech dar fer flandnbsp;H ; gabuis faonbrat tar sciat scell pronderg toidlech tar fern fiannnbsp;HI : gabais fainbrat tar sciath scell broenderc taidl- far fernn fland.nbsp;In the second half, fern is no doubt better than fer, fern ‘alder’nbsp;being often mentioned as the wood the shields were made of. Brónderg As, supported by pronderg (H); so broenderc ‘red by (blood-)nbsp;drops’ seems to be an emendation, but perhaps the true one. Scellnbsp;would yield a perfect consonance withnbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;dall and oil, and scenb

an imperfect, but still tolerable, interior rhyme with fern. The loanword sceld, scell ‘shield’ is sometimes distinguished from sciathnbsp;(scell ocus sciath. Tain B. C., ed. Windisch, 4020), but ‘a shield ofnbsp;scells’ gives no sense. Sciath scenb, probably right, is the same asnbsp;sciath scenbda (Rev. Celt. XIV 404 ; Metr. Dindshenchas III 360,nbsp;57). Sceanbh is explained by P. O’Connell as ‘a sharp splinter ornbsp;shaft; a thorn or prickle’ (Rev. Celt. XIV 447) ; hence Edwardnbsp;Gwynn (Metr. Dindsh. IV 427) concludes that shields were sometimes provided with sharp points or corners. Perhaps scenb isnbsp;here not the gen. pi. of a noun, but an adjective ; ‘sharp, pointed,nbsp;pricking’ (?) ; cf. go scenb Téin B. C. (ed. Windisch) 4106. also

§246, where some MSS. have scenbda (in both places applied to speaking). Fian-brat ‘warrior-cloak’ or ‘warlike cover,quot; if original,nbsp;would hardly have been altered into the more obscure falnbrat,nbsp;and a kind of rhyme seems to be intended between falnbrat (fóen-brai) and brbenderg, But the meaning of fain (fóen) ‘supine, lyingnbsp;on the back ’ in connection with brat is not apparent. Is it a covernbsp;hanging down ? Cf. Co'n-acai cethror . . ocus a sceith a faengabailnbsp;ina lamaib, in cethrar co n-armaib cona sciathaib foingabala (Toch-marc Bec-Fola, ed. O’Looney, p. 178. 182), where faengabail,nbsp;designates the lowering of the shields (for battle). Dinneennbsp;(Foclóir) has faon ‘hanging down (as hair).’ The adjectives bróen-derg and toidlech refer certainly to -brat, not to sciath. The blood,nbsp;staining the shield, seems to be called poetically its brat ‘cover,nbsp;cloak.' So the whole may mean : ‘He (Fergus) got a blood-reddened,nbsp;shining cover hanging down over the pointed (?) shield, over thenbsp;red alder-wood.’

(p. 21) The line lacks consonance with -air, -oin, and, as this is the only instance of such a defect in the whole poem, there isnbsp;evidently some corruption. This Feidlimid appears twice in Tainnbsp;B. C.: CO Feidlimid co Cilar Cetach (ed. Strachan-O’Keeffe, 3014),nbsp;CO Feidilmid Chilair Chetaig (ed. Windisch, 4778), Feidlimid Cilairnbsp;Cetaig (Str.-O’K. 3228), likewise in Fled Bricrend §12 : Fedelmidnbsp;Chilair Chetaig. The suspicion is obvious that co n-ilur has somehownbsp;grown out of Cilair. But the original text cannot be re-establishednbsp;with any certainty.

(p. 21) The meaning is : The loss of Conaed mac Morna made up half of all the sorrow caused by the dog.

(p. 21) The lords had to give pledges (gill) for the liabilities of their rent-paying subjects (gialla) ; see Anc. Laws of Ireland III pp.nbsp;18 and 24. So the line : ‘large (were the) gialla-s, large (the)nbsp;pledges’ indicates that the heroes named were great lords.

(p. 22) Gwynn takes tlachtnmad tore to be an epithet of Mac Dathó himself, not of his muc, as it was not a boar. But that isnbsp;far from evident; in the poem §24 it is called muc and tore alternately, and muc, though feminine, designates male animals as well.nbsp;The boar is ‘well-clad’ (tlacht-muad) in regard to skin and fat, thenbsp;opposite is imnocht (next line).

(p. 22) The text is certain, chlethbratha rhyming with cethracha, ros’can with dam : ‘Without acts of treachery by hiding, fame hasnbsp;sung of it (the pig)’ or ‘of them (the oxen).’ The ancestor of thenbsp;other MSS. altered the text in order to obtain a rhyme with (thenbsp;erroneous) fothud. Gwynn's reading rodus’brü is against all thenbsp;MSS.

(p. 22) Flad- (not amra Lc, S, Gwynn) is required to alliterate w'ith fothu (at the end of the preceding stanza), crödaib (notnbsp;crobaib) to rhyme with nónbair. Cröda ‘ bloody ’ has sometimes the sense of ‘valiant’ : ‘In the presence of the valiant men.’nbsp;Coraib (Ld) is an emendation as if fiadnaib, (fiadna R) were notnbsp;the prep, fiad with the article, but d. pi. of fiadu ‘witness.’

“ (p. 22) The meaning of this stanza, except the last line, is not quite clear. The reading (not -lui) is established by the rhyming

cü. It seems to be Idu, lu ‘small, a small amount, an object of little value.’ Then etas must be the shortened form of Old-Irishnbsp;ciaso, ciasa, 'though it is,’ like mas for mdso. Grad may be understood as ‘rank’ or as ‘love.’ The former interpretation wouldnbsp;furnish a marked contrast to nirbo messa-de (last line). But ‘thoughnbsp;A. is little beloved ’ is more likely perhaps. The text cii dia' ndechaidnbsp;each cosnam (H, Ld), 'the dog to strive for which every-one went',nbsp;‘for whose possession all came to contend’, gives good sense.nbsp;Not so cti dianad caidle in cosnam (Lc, S), caidle rhyming withnbsp;Ailbe, where the present dianad ’presents some difficulty. Gwynn’snbsp;translation ; ‘the hound whose pleasure was in combat’ wouldnbsp;require the preterite diambo or diarbo. Moreover, the article innbsp;before cosnam, if correct, would point to a definite combat, thenbsp;combat related in the story. In the next sentence I am inclinednbsp;to understand gressa ‘attacks’ in the special sense of enech-gressa ‘attacks upon the honour,’ since the place was not reallynbsp;attacked, and to take do'rairg as preterite of do'airci {’dirci)nbsp;‘he effects, causes,’ rendering; ‘though he caused loss of honour tonbsp;the place (so many guests being killed there).’

(p. 22) This stanza seems to be a later addition, probably by somebody who knew the poem §24 (stanza e) to which it standsnbsp;in close relation. It interrupts the connection of the stanzas bynbsp;alliteration which is strictly observed throughout the poem. Thenbsp;interpolator altered, however, the second line in order to bring annbsp;oblique case of mucc into the end-rhyme (cf. stanzas d and ƒ).

(p. 22) iar ndditib drenn ‘according to (their) upper arms of combats,' probably: ‘relying on their arms (muscles), proved innbsp;combats.’ In §246 the MSS. point to 'na tóitih treil, and the twonbsp;MSS. Ix and S, which contain both poems, have a similar readingnbsp;here. But tóitib has not yet been explained satisfactorily. Gwynnnbsp;takes it to be a loanword from Lat. toti and renders 'na tóitib treilnbsp;by ‘in full array.’ He refers for the word to Kuno Meyer’s translation of totinsma LL 144a 25 by ‘a wholesale insertion’ (Universitynbsp;of Illinois Studies in Language and Literature II 9). But as totnbsp;there rhymes with loc and has a short 0, it is to be separated fromnbsp;insma ; cf. tot ‘swell, rising waves (y ’ or ‘dash (?)’ Cath Cathardanbsp;(ed. Stokes) 5792, Auraicept na n-Eces (ed. Calder) s.v. tot t Innbsp;the poem, however, a word with ö is needed to rhyme with cóicid^;nbsp;tót does not occur elsewhere to my knowledge ; the gloss toil Iannbsp;(‘full’) R.C. XX 264 § 76 is very doubtful; so doitib would seemnbsp;to be the original reading in both poems.

(p. 22) The singular -bo in lieu of the plural is due to the predicate oll-ddm: ‘so that they were a large company of guests for (literally: of) a single pig.'

(p. 23)' Gwynn would replace in by mac. But the poet evidently did not know the story of §23, according to which it was not Mes-Roida himself, but his son who had fed the pig.

(p. 23) Since Lena is not willing to deliver up his pig the words rena h-idlacad uadh (Lc), gair riana thidnacul uad (RC), ‘(a short

-ocr page 52-

32

time) before he yielded it up ’ are strange. One would expect something like : ‘with the intent that it might not be taken from him.’ Read ri-a (fri-a) ‘against,’ ‘to prevent’ for riana ?

(p. 24) Compounds like Idech-buaid (stanza d) are intelligible enough, but Idech-buan, literally ‘warrior-lasting,’ is not so clear.nbsp;Gwynn translates ‘of martial memory.’ The meaning may be thatnbsp;the place is ever producing warriors; compare the precedingnbsp;fichtib sluag ‘with scores of troops.’

(p. 24) Gwynn prefers the passive ndr'laided, translating; ‘that never needed urging’ ; but then we might rather expect annbsp;imperfect. So the active «acA'te'ifeif may be better: ‘that a warriornbsp;who used not to incite (other men), does not speak (any more).’

(p. 24) As the verb fris'ngéra lacks a complement, it is probably a corruption of fnt'ngéra : ‘(The name) Mag Léna shallnbsp;correspond to him (to Léna, to his name) ; if, accordingly, we readnbsp;in gas gorm instead of on gas gurm, the somewhat abrupt construction of the last line, remarked by Gwynn, becomes smoother.

(p. 24) I do not understand land ‘angry, harsh,’ applied to a field. May be it is an error for luind (gen.) referring to Lena.

(p. 24) The subordinate proposition dia'loiar has no connection with what precedes or follows. Probably it should be corrected tonbsp;dó lotar ‘thither (they) went,’ cf. lotar dó §22e.
