Does anybody know what this means:

Banúirseach a bhíodh ar an dturn aici agus bean chardála ar na roiléithe.

I can't quite figure it out.

* edit:
And here are a few other ones:

Ní héadach a bhí chuige ann ach mar bheadh sé buailte.

Raunálta a bhí sé gan aon bhas air, ach go bhféadfaí bas a tharrac amach air …

Bhí ballaíocha beaga bána ina dhille …

Only just logged in, sorry for the delay.


Banúirseach is the Munster pronunciation of banabhraiseach, a spinning women. Bean abhrais is another Munster variant.

Bean chardála is the woman who does the carding. The "turn" is part of a sewing wheel. Roiléithe are rolls of wool.

More later....

I'm just happy to be getting any help at all – go raibh míle maith agat!

Oh yeah, I remember bean abhrais from Sliabh na mBan bhFionn.

So:
banúirseach = bean abhrais
bean chardála = a woman who cards wool (Actually, I managed to figure out this part yesterday. )
an turn = part of a sewing wheel
and
roiléithe = rolls o' wool

Well, now I understand that sentence.

A couple o' other questions:

How do pronounce feidhre?
I'm guessing that it's something like "FYE-rih" but I don't really know.

Also, what does treighlín mean and how is it pronounced? – maybe "try-LEEN"?

Basically FYE-ri, as you said. First syllable is a diphthong.

Treighlín is the Pleiades, pronounced Trélín.

It's Tréidín or Treighdín historically, but the "d" became an "l" like many words in Munster (cuideachta -> cuileachta).

Go raibh maith agat, a Loin Dhuibh!

I'm sorry if I'm being annoying, but I've got just 2 more questions about Caibideal a Dó:
ar an dtaoide agus ar an ngréin
and
i lampa solais i dtobar na díochta
Any comments on the meaning and usage of those sayings would sure be appreciated!
