àireamh
-
Ri cuairt de’n t-snàth air a’ chrois-iarna [q.v.] chanadh iad àireamh. Bha lorg aca air na h-uibhir àireamhan airson nan nithean fa-leth. Na h-uibhir àireamhan airson plaide, na h-uibhir àireamhan airson siod ’s na h-uibhir àireamhan airson seo. Bha uair a bha lorg agam air an àireamh cheart airson plaide, ach tha sin air chall orm an diugh. (Feuchaibh Nic Neacail.)
