you can't use fág if you donb't say what has been left by the subject.


It seems like there should be an object in the sentence in Irish all right, but FGB gives D'fhág sé go luath.

The other one is often referred to as 'Baldie' - that doesn't mean that someone here on the forum is making a remark on someone else's hair or lack of it - it's the English-Irish Dictionary compiled by Tomás de Bhaldraithe and published by An Gúm (when I'm older I'm going to buy one)
ISBN 1857910353 Bog (which I hasten to add, means paperback)
