buill’-ìg

An oidhche bha òraid againn an uiridh aig Comunn Leòdhais agus na Hearadh, chuala mi trì ainmeannan nach robh agam roimhe. Bha seo aig R.R. MàcDhòmhnuill (“R.R.” mar a chanadh iad), maighstir-sgoile á Leòdhas againn fhìn. Bho thaobh siar an eilein. Tha e an diugh a chòmhnuidh am Burnside. (Bidh lorg aig Ruairidh, saoilidh mi, air an duine-sa.) 3. Buill’-ìg: b’e seo airson buille-thig no buill’-a-thig a bh’agam-sa anns an òraid. (Buille-thig: nuair a bhiodh sinn cas-ruisgte agus a gheibheadh an òrdag gu salach e mu chloich.) [Cf. na tòsagan, an spannadh.]
