A song my mother used to sing: “Latha dhomhsa ’s mi na’m ònar / Dol troimh ’n choill ’s mi siubhal mòna / Thachair orms a ghruagach bhoidheach / Rinn mi comhradh rith ’s greis anail.” Refrain “Thug sibh air nighean donn nam meall-shuil / ’S trom mo cheum an deigh do gheallaidh / Thug sibh air nighean donn nam meall shuil.”

Common acorn barnacle. Cha bhi iad so a’ siubhal mar bàirnich nan sgeir idir. Gheibhear iad ann an lùin gle fhaisg air an tiùrr. ’S ann geall geal a tha am biadhadh aca, agus uaireanan buidhe. ’Se an éigin a bheireadh air iasgair an toirt chun a’ chreagaich, agus is ann glamhach a bhiodh an t-iasg a shluigeadh iad. Cha bhiodh sinn ’gan itheadh.

the playing of pipes; the profession, or performance of the piper. Not used in sense “Ceòl Mór” by native speakers. That usage, in Eng. only, originated among Eng. speaking collectors of pipe music.

Bàrludh, barr-lùdh. Leumlùdh. Taorludh [sic]. Crùnlùdh. Siubhal or iùl-lùdh, etc.
