(Muirsig – muirsigean anns an Rudha, muisgean ann an Nis.) Razor fish. Chan eil iad an Nis ach gheibhear moran dhuibh [sic] air na Lochan, ann an Uig, is tha iad pailt pailt [sic] an gainmheach an Loch a Tuath mu Mhealbost is Stéinis is air an taobh a deas aig Tolm. Chi thu an t-srùp aca aig amannan os cionn na gainmhich agus ma bheireas tu air gun greimeachadh air an t-slige fàgaidh e an t-srup ’na do laimh is ni e fhein gu doimhne. Aig amannan bidh tràigh an Loch a Tuath a’ bristeadh is theid mìltean dhuibh [sic] a thilgeil gu tir. Tha iad ag radh gum brist i a chula seachd bliadhna, ach cha do bhrist i mór bho 1953 – tha e nis 1967. Chaidh innse dhomh – ge bi air bith a bheil e ceart - gur e gaoth làidir is tide mhara lionaidh làidir an aghaidh a’ cheile a tha sluaisreadh na gainmhich ’sa toirt na muirsgean chun an uachdair is tha na suailichean gan tilgeil gu tìr.

sluaisreadh
-
the movement of the sand on the ebb-in heavy seas; or the action of the sea on the sand – the heavy seas, the waves curling over it, ‘shovelling’ it back and fore? (My own definition at the moment.) [SLIP: Movement of sand by sea.]
