[féil-beag]
-
The word I’ve heard here for the ordinary kilt was the ‘féil-beag’ though anytime I’ve come across the word in Gairm or Sruth it is just written as ‘féileadh’ but I think ‘féil-beag beag’ [sic] would be a more descriptive word by what we see worn by some of the female sex at the present day.

adharc
-
1. Adharc airson a séideadh. Bho chionn ceud bliadhna air ais bha adharc de’n t-seòrsa-sa ann am baile mo bhreith agus m’ àrach, airson a bha ag gairm a mach nan daoine airson a dhol do an choinneimh sheachduineil anns a’ bhaile. Bhiodh a’ choinneamh-sa aig a’ mhinistear no aig an luchd-dreuchd. Mar bu trice ’se coinneamh-urnuigh a bhiodh ann. 2. Adharc airson ballan a chur. Is e adhaircean chruidh a bhiodh anns na h-adhaircean-sa (adharc bà no adharc daimh). (Gibne.)
