Thanks, Shanna Jones St. George, Utah sjones@redrock.net http://www.burgoyne.com/pages/sjones >> I am sending this private mail because I have been a real blabber mouth lately and it is time to give others a chance. You can ask me and I sall try and translate although I have not the memory I used to and it has been a while since I spoke the gaelic and there are 3 dictionarys you can access from <A HREF="http://web2.airmail.net/samhradh/">R adio Celtic Home Page</A> just scrole down and click the Scottish flag and then scrole down to the gaelic dictionaries. By the way one even sounds out phrases so you can get an ear for them. Also the radio sight has a lot of Gaelic singers, my favourite is Ishbel MacAskill from Lewis see the music and artists on <A HREF="http://hometown.aol.com/radioscotland/Artistsatoz.html">T he Sound of the RSI Artists A to Z</A> if you wish a story or to see me at 16 outside the house in Melveig a very small village in Easter ross go to <A HREF="http://www.hometown.aol.com/radioscotland/stories.html">RSI STORIES AND PICTURES</A> For all of the MacDonalds out there here is the song about Glencoe: <A HREF="http://www.followme.com/cimcom/glencoe.htm">They came in a blizzard, we offered them heat / Ballad of Glencoe</A> Hope these help you in your search. When using the gaelic dictionary remember it is not a litteral language and many combinations of words can intone or mean many different things. If its just a few lines or words send them along and I shall try and translate it for you. Cheers dave
