Modarach

’S ann an Nis a tha an t-ainm so. Tha e mu leth meud murtair is air an aon chumadh le sia dubhanan lin mhóra. Tha e so freagarrach gu bhith glacadh na leth bhodach ruadha as t-earrach. Chan eil biadhadh ga chur air modarach no air murtair. Tha iad air an tarraing as deidh an eathair, no air an oibreachadh sios as suas a mach air cliathaich an eathair. Tha an glensa a tha as an luaidhe a’ tarraing an éisg thuca is tha na dubhain a’ dol an sàs.

A’ deanamh a chruinneachaidh so thàinig bruidhinn againn air mar a bha facail a’ dol an ceann a cheile mar ‘afoin’ is ‘aflar’, agus thuirt aon gu robh aige fhein mun tairsgeir aon bhliadhna Douilian Dhomhnuill Alasdair Dhoiligean agus Iain Beag ’An Iain ’An Anaigean, agus gum b’e Iachaoil a bha leagail nan rùsg. B’e sin Domhnull Iain Dhomhnuill Alasdair Dhomhnuill Mhic Iain agus Iain Beag Iain Iain Iain Iain Mhic Iain, agus Iain Caol ri leagail. Thàinig tarraing againn cuideachd air biadh sgiobadh. An diugh ’se an ‘Duff’ a tha ri riaghladh. Thuirt fear – Lewis Moireach – gu robh ‘An Uallach a Cros aon bhliadhna is nach ruigeadh e air ceannachd ach aon lof airson sgiobadh ghillean. Bha pailteas buntàta aige dhaibh, ach bha e air a chur thuige ciamar a gheibheadh e air aon lof a roinn eadar na bha sud. Mu dheireadh thuirt e riu, “Suidibh, a bhalachaibh, ithibh; Am fear as motha a dh’itheas do bhuntàta, ’se as motha a gheibh dhan an lof.”

Tha an lion beag, a tha air a réiteach a cheana, air a dhòirteadh ’na chnap ri do chois chli. Suidh air stòl, no air an lar leis an sguil fhalamh eadar do dha chois. (Tha seir car àrd is trom air do dhruim.) Tarraing earball an lin bhig tarsainn air do shliasaid chli, is cuir a mach tarsainn air oisean màs na sguile e gus am bi e deiseil gus a cheangal ri lion beag eile aig am cura. Tha druim an lin-bhig a nise ga chuibhligeadh do bhroinn no mhionnach na sguile gus an tig thu chun a’ cheud snòta. Tha biadhadh ga chur air an dubhan, is tha an dubhan leis a bhiadhadh so ga chur ’na laighe ri cliathaich na sguile gu do laimh chli far am bheil broinn agus beul na sguile a’ coinneachadh, is tha thu gabhail air t-adhart a leigeil gach dubhan le biadhadh taobh ri taobh gus an ruig thu taobh eile na sguile is bidh sreath deiseil. Tha thu a’ tilleadh gu do laimh chli leis an dara sreath is leis gach sreath eile gus am bi an lion air a bhiadhadh gu h-iomlan. Nuair a theid an dubhan mu dheireadh a bhiadhadh tha thu ceangal earball (no cluas) an lin bhig ri cluais na sguile – ris a chluais dheis – oir ’se ise a bhios na’s fhaisge air an fhear cura anns an eathar. Cuiridh thu a nise an sgùil air a bhalla tarsainn no air an tobhta gus am bi thu deas gu falbh leatha, ach fiach gun cuir thu t-oiliscin no comhdach sam bith eile air a bhiadhadh anns an sguil air an neo ’se cait a’ bhaile a bhios tu a’ sgròbadh dheth mus fhaic e an fhairge.
