Na pàirtean aig bròig. An dà phàirt mhór aig bròig: An t-uachdar. Am bonn. Beul na bròige. An strap-sàileach. Na sùilean. Sàil na bròige ’s Sròn na bròige aig a’ cheann eile. An cnap. An seangadh – ’S ann mar ‘faigheadh’ (fuaim caol) a chanas sinne seo. Ach ’se seangadh a th’ann cho fad’s is aithne dhomh. Far am bheil a’ bhròg a’ fàs seang. An dearcadh. Am balt. An teanga. Am fraochan. Bròg-built – Bròg air a’ fuaigheal le sreangan. (Sreangan – shoemaker’s thread.) Bròg built tonnidh [?] sibh i le gréim air sròn agus sàil. Bròg air a fuaigheal leis an iarunn, tha i cruaidh. Pàirt eile de an bhròig: Am bonn linigidh – tha seo a stigh fo an bhonn mhór. Cho dubh ri bréid na bròige, chanadh na bodaich. Bhiodh bréid aodaich anns na brògan, uaireigin.
