PREFACE.

It is not the object of this Vocabulary to give the English of every word in SéJiT)nA- It is assumed that the commonernbsp;words must be known to anyone who would attempt to readnbsp;such a book at all. At the same time, a great many commonnbsp;words are included on account of the idioms in which theynbsp;occur, and which it is the main purpose of the Vocabularynbsp;to explain.

The idioms are given in each case under the chief, or most characteristic, word in the sentence; in only a few instancesnbsp;is a particular case of an idiom repeated; therefore, if notnbsp;found under one of its chief words, the phrase should benbsp;sought under another. In this connection it may be well tonbsp;remind young students that the force of an idiom may sometimes lie in a very small word.

Except the verbal noun and the past participle or participial adjective, which appear separately, parts of regular verbs will be found under the 1st Singular Present Indicative.

For the convenience of students, some varieties of spelling are given, whether they occur in Sé.i'onu or not. A fewnbsp;illustrative phrases, not taken from SéA’ona, are also included,nbsp;in brackets.

In reply to numerous questions and recommendations with regard to the notes which appeared with the first part ofnbsp;SéATDuA in the Gaelic Journal, it must be stated that therenbsp;has been a misapprehension concerning them. It has beennbsp;supposed that the notes were all written by the author ofnbsp;SéA'onA. That is not the case. Some of the notes werenbsp;written by Father O’Leary, and others were not; and it is tonbsp;be regretted that the editor of the Gaelic Journal of that day ,nbsp;did not, in many of the earlier numbers, follow the usualnbsp;custom of distinguishing his own notes from those of thenbsp;author of the story, but allowed both to appear indiscriminately over the signature “peA'OAp ua bAO^Aipe.”

It is no very great discredit to the editor, who was himself but a learner of Irish at the time, that his notes did not

-ocr page 10-

always interpret the author’s meaning aright; and had they been signed by the editor, no misapprehension could havenbsp;arisen among readers. The appearance of these notes overnbsp;Canon O’Leary’s name, however, has led to the mistakennbsp;idea already referred to, which it is now necessary to correct.

Canon O’Leary has not sanctioned the republication of notes to SêATinA other than his own which are embodied innbsp;this Vocabulary.

“ A wretched cause is the cause through which I am in agony;

My judgment drifting apart from my will, and my will from mynbsp;sense.

My will refuses to understand the sort of will that my judgmentnbsp;clearly approves;

Or if it understands it, it will not have any but the will of its ownnbsp;judgment.”

—It is really impossible to give an adequate translation of these fournbsp;lines. They describe in the clearestnbsp;and most accurate manner thenbsp;“ strained relations ” between natural inclination and right reasonnbsp;in certain circumstances. ^ Reasonnbsp;would assert itself. The will doesnbsp;not wish to submit. The will determines to go wrong, in defiancenbsp;of reason. But it cannot get onnbsp;without something in the shape ofnbsp;reason. Then it builds for itself anbsp;bogus imitation of reason, sets it onnbsp;the road and follows it. As the linesnbsp;stand in Irish their meaning is asnbsp;clear as crystal. Yet it is impossible to express the meaning innbsp;English with anything like completeness.
