'ó ghlúin go glúin' is another nice phrase. It means 'from generation to generation'.

I have heard that 'glúin' also meaning 'knee' is not merely a coincidence - the idea of a child sitting on a parent's knee being intergenerational. I don't know if that connection is true, but it makes sense.


I am not sure, doubt it though. In the story of Adam of Eve did we come from God's knee??? I know there was something to do with making a person from a body part? I' m not sure- N' fheadair :rolleyes: :) .


I believe God made Eve from Adam's rib. :)


:LOL: , GRMA, I knew there was a making something from body parts. It would have been great if it was his knee, probably would have cracked glúin go glúin.
