COMPILED GAELIC DICTIONARY 

Death of Man Who Taught Himself 

Printing 

MR EDWARD DWELLY, a genealogist, who 

aught himself printing and published works 

>n the Gaelic language and on parish 

egisters and pedigrees, died on Wednesday 

t his home at Fleet, Hampshire, aged 74. 

Formerly a bank clerk in London, he comaled, 

printed, and published, single-handed, 

Gaelic dictionary of over 1000 pages and 

;ith 675 illustrations. For this he was awarded 

Civil List pension. 

His books were widely read by genealogists 

nd excited widespread interest in America. 

lr Dwelly, who had an index of about 500,000 

lips of references to names for family 

istories. was a member of many societies 

oth at home and abroad interested in 

;enealogy.

HE first edition of this work, which appeared in 

parts under the title of Faclair Gaidhlig 

le dealbhan, and the nom-de-plume of " Ewen 

Mac Donald " being now out of print, the 

has arisen for a new edition. The one I now 

necessity 

present to the public will, I trust, be found of equal 

service both to beginners and advanced students of the 

language. The first edition of the work has been carefully 

revised and no expense or labour spared to make 

this the most reliable and complete Gaelic Dictionary 

obtainable. 

The work was originally undertaken solely for my 

own private use, but after continual urging by other 

Gaelic students who had seen it, 

and proved 

its utility 

by experience, I at last consented to print 

it and so 

make the result of my labours accessible to all. 

The vocabulary 

is based on that of MacLeod & Dewar, 

so much appreciated by Gaelic students, and where the 

orthography of that work differs from MacBain's Gaelic 

Dictionary that of the latter has been generally adopted 

here. All the words not given by MacLeod & Dewar, 

but appearing in any of the other Gaelic Dictionaries are 

now included besides some thousands of words gathered 

from Common Speech and the whole range of Modern 

Scottish Gaelic Literature, including the Gaelic names 

of Plants, Diseases and Birds, Technical Terms, &c., com-

u 

piled from lists given in pamphlets and periodicals from 

time to time. All the examples of idiomatic phrases 

and proverbs given by Mac Alpine have been retained y 

as well as Armstrong's, where not practically the same, 

from Nicolson's Gaelic Proverbs have been 

and many 

added, with large numbers from various other sources, 

Local words and provincialisms from Common speech, 

&c., many never printed before. 

My thanks are chiefly due to his Most Gracious 

Majesty the late King Edward, for graciously awarding 

me a Civil List Pension when only about one half of 

the Dictionary had been issued to the public, and his 

Majesty's lamentable death is one of the dark shadows 

that 

mars my pleasure at the completion of my life-work, 

by preventing the possibility of my offering a copy for 

his acceptance. The great expense entailed by the 

publication of a book of this magnitude singlehanded, i& 

a constant and heavy drain on the income of anyone of 

small means, and were it not for the receipt of thispension 

when it was awarded,, 

the continuation of the 

at least 

publication beyond page 600 would have been, 

for many years, an absolute impossibility. Before 

proceeding any farther, I should have had to execute 

enough remunerative work to enable me to purchase the 

necessary materials to continue the Dictionary as well as 

to live upon, an exceedingly hard task after the struggles 

1 had already gone through, and one which would have 

no doubt eventually ended in the abandonment of the 

publication in an unfinished state. Owing to unfortunate 

investments I had already had to earn all the 

money to purchase the necessary materials to produce this 

book as well as much of 

my living for some years by 

doing any printing I could get ; 

but the strain on brain 

and eyesight entailed by thus always working at the highest 

pressure and for exceptionally long hours, so that 

the Dictionary might be completed as quickly as possible, 

could not have been continued much longer.

I have much pleasure in acknowledging the great 

help given by my correspondents in all parts of the 

world, both by sending numbers of words that were new 

to me and by obtaining many subscribers to the work. 

I am also indebted to 

my wife for revising proofs, assisting 

in folding sheets, and preparing parts for post, 

as well as for advising many translations. The success 

of the work is in no small measure due to her 

assistance in household matters, and by keeping down 

domestic expenses making money available for its production 

that would have otherwise been spent in an unproductive 

way. The following gentlemen have kindly 

assisted by following the work during its progress through 

the press, and it is largely due to their suggestions and 

additions that the compilation of such a full and accurate 

vocabulary of Scottish Gaelic has been possible.

Eev. C. M. Eobertson and Mr. Henry Whyte have 

have also assisted me considerably with Proper Names and 

Technical Terms. 

I am particularly indebted to Dr. W. J. Watson for 

kindly revising and adding to the list of Gaelic Proper

IV 

Barnes which I have been collecting for a period of thirty 

years. 

This is the first general list of the kind published 

for all Scotland. I must not omit my great obligation to 

the Press both at home and abroad, for the detailed 

reviews they have given of the parts as they appeared, 

and for their hearty appreciation of my labours. 

The Highland Society of London kindly contributed 

25 towards the cost of publication. 

No one who has always spoken a language like 

Gaelic from the cradle can ever realize the extraordinary 

difficulties presented to a stranger who wishes to acquire 

it. First, the majority of Gaelic speakers only a very 

few years ago could neither read nor write it, 

so when 

one heard an unfamiliar word or phrase and the first 

instinct was of course to write it down lest it should be 

forgotten, the question was how to spell 

it of course 

the speaker could not tell ! I was baulked in this 

way 

times without number, and my progress with the language 

immensely retarded in consequence. Next, the great 

difficulty of inducing a Gael to engage in a Gaelic conversation 

if he thinks he can make himself understood at 

all 

by means of indifferent English, or even if there is 

anyone present who cannot understand Gaelic, makes the 

acquisition of a knowledge of colloquial Gaelic much more 

difficult than is the case with other modern tongues, for 

it is only by posing as a Highlander and one who knows 

Gaelic that one can ever hope to hear it spoken habitually 

and without restraint. These are real difficulties, but 

they may be overcome by scheming and perseverance as 

I have proved. 

This Dictionary 

is of especial value to the beginner. 

Many who did not learn the language in infancy, but acquired 

it in later life through the medium of books, have 

notified me of the difficulties of grammar and idiom they 

.met with. Such difficulties are likely to puzzle other 

novices, and have therefore been explained under their 

appropriate headings. Grammatical difficulties have been

elucidated by good Gaelic scholars, and no labour lias 

been spared to make the work as complete and reliable 

as possible. 

Some have found fault with my explanations 

here and there as being too full but I have always 

purposely inclined to being too explicit rather than too 

vague, because while one reader may be far beyond any 

assistance a certain explanation gives, the next may find 

in it an elucidation of a difficulty that he has been trying 

to get explained for months. This has been 

brought home vividly to me by some of 

my proof-readers 

making such remarks as, "unnecessary," u self-evident," 

&c. beside explanations I have given of difficulties that 

had puzzled me considerably when a beginner, and the 

full understanding of which I had imperceptibly acquired 

as I attained increased fluency in speaking the language. 

Some scholars object to some of the words given in 

other Dictionaries as being Irish and not Scottish Gaelic, 

but many of these so-called Irish words are in daily use 

in Cantyre and appear in the Scottish Gaelic Bible, and 

the close similarity the Gaelic speech of the West of 

Scotland has to that of the North of Ireland (much closer 

than the native English of places not farther removed from 

one another and with no sea between them) makes the 

interchange of words easy and often convenient. Many 

of those who condemn the use of what they call " Irish " 

words, have no scruple in introducing English and Doric 

words, which they try to pronounce and write according 

to Gaelic rules, apparently to make their identity somewhat 

obscure, when there are already two or three native 

Gaelic words much more to the point. 

A few correspondents have complained that the work 

is too crowded, in places, with obsolete or English words, 

but only those given in other Gaelic Dictionaries figure 

here, although more prominence has been given to the 

character of Anglicisms. Words marked obsolete in. 

some Dictionaries, may often have been obsolete for a long 

period in the districts in which the compilers of those

VI 

particular works lived, while still used in other places. 

The usual rule hitherto adopted in Gaelic Dictionaries 

with regard to English words in Gaelic dress has been 

clarc, s.m. A clerk. 

Sometimes Eng. or Eng. word is added, but not often. 

A new system has been adopted here, and all such words 

have been inserted thus 

clarc, s.m. Gaelic spelling of clerk. 

This is the first Dictionary of the Gaelic language 

in which an attempt has been made to explain words by 

means of diagrams, and the first in which especial care 

has been taken in collecting localisms, the names of old 

of which 

Highland implements, &c., and their parts, many 

are now only to be found in one or two remote parishes 

of the Western Isles, from which they are fast disappearing. 

The lists of technical terms here given have never 

been published before, and the whole of the illustrations, 

with one or two exceptions, have been specially drawn 

for the work. 

It is a cause of regret that type of a larger size 

could not have been used, but, owing to the great increase 

that would have caused in the bulk of the book, 

it was 

found to be impossible. 

No attempt has been made to give a so-called phonetic 

spelling of each word as MacAlpine does. The 

orthodox spelling of the Gaelic language being practically 

phonetic on its own lines, by far the simplest way 

is to 

learn the correct sounds of the various Gaelic combinations 

of letters from some good text-book, of which there 

are many, and if possible, 

with the aid of a native Gaelic 

speaker. 

Eeaders must use their own discretion in practising 

some of the forms given when translating from English 

of the words which have here been 

into Gaelic. Many 

added to MacLeod & Dewar's vocabulary are localisms 

and the persons or books from whom they were obtained 

being nearly always indicated by signs or initials, the

nominative 

' 

name is given.

rnljss it wen; convoyed in rhymas. 

Heooe the word bard uieaut also a priesh, 

philosopher, or teacher of any kind. We 

often rind a bard entrusted with the education 

of a prince, and aboit three hundred 

years ago, a Highland c,hif had seldom any 

other instructor. Such was the ivspeci paid 

to the ancient bards, that, accuriiug 1o Dio. 

dorus, the Sicilian, they could put a stop u> 

armies in the heat of battle. After au engagement 

they ridded the song over the deceased, 

and extolled the heroes who survivtd. 

When a i.ard appeared in an army, it was 

either as a herald or ambassador, heaco his 

person and property were sacred in the midst 

of his enemies and amid their wildest ravages, 

la earlier times he never bore arms, 

and Owen asserts that it was unlawful to unsheathe 

a weapon in his presence. Among 

the ancient British there were, according to 

Jones, three orders of bards the Privardd, 

(Priomh-bhard) or chief b.ird: the Poswardd, 

who taught/ what was set forth by the privardd 

; 

and the Arwyddwardd, i.e. the ensign 

bard, or herald-at-arms, who employed 

himself in genealogy, and in bLizrming the 

arms of princes and nobles, as w

is the original garb of the Highlanders, and 

formed the chief part of their costume. The 

breacan in its simple form is uow seldom used 

It consisted of a plain piece of tartan, two 

yards in width, and four or six in length. In 

dressing, this was carefully plaited in the 

middle, of a breadth suitable to the size of 

the wearer, and sufficient to extend from one 

side around his back to the other, leaving 

much as

Ireland and Wales, as well s parts 

of Norway, Sweden, and other Continental 

countries," and there are a few in America. 

Some of them measure 300 ft. in cir umference 

at the base and 20 ft. in height. They 

consist of loose stones, and the whole is in 

the shape 

of a cone. In many instances 

waere they have been opened, they contained 

epulchral urn^, which show that they 

were memorials of the dead. Many of these 

piles consist entirely of earth, and this gave 

Tise to the opinion that ston cairns were in 

tended ior malefactors, while those of earth 

were for the victorious and brave. We learn 

from ancient authors that malefactor 

s were 

vburied under heaps of stone, anil it was a common 

practice among the Druids to erect 

cairns on spots where criminals had been 

dmrnt. Hence "fear air chirn" means an 

outlaw, "tha e air a' cliarn," ht it an outlaw.

cha 190 chionn 

cha, negative particle, Not. [CTia aspirates 

the fat. neg. of a verh, also the initial of 

words beginning with labials and gutturals, 

and, in Argyllshire, with dentals also, as 

cha dhuin andorus, the door will not shut ; 

cba dhaor a phris, its price is not high. Cha 

simply negatives the signification of the verb, 

as, (do) bhuail mi, I struck; cha do bhuail mi, 

I did not strike. It becomes cha'n before initial 

vowels or/ pure, as cha'n 61 mi, / shall 

not drink; cha'n fhosgail mi, / shall not open. 

Dr. Gillies remarks that the n of cha'n in 

cha'n 'eil, "shows the abiding influence of a 

lost dental n, the n doubtless which re-asserts 

itself before initial vowels io shows 

that it is wrong to separate the ?i of cha'n as 

is usually done in writing, as cha'n, cha-n 

and cha n-." [N is not a dental, and the n

crann-n&n-g&d 

emnn-nan-gad, f. m. Kind of plough, seldom 

used now, though at one time common enou-; i, 

especially iu the Western Isles. The parish 

of Barvas is the only part of Li-wis where it 

is still used. It is usually drawn by one 

horse, though two can be used. From its 

construct iou it is especially suited to the 

stony ground of the crofts, and its gradual 

disappearance is a cause of great regret, as 

thero is no other implement, equally convenient 

to take its place. It possesses a great 

advantage over the common iron plough, in 

that, as the point runs along the ground behind 

the horse, it serves the two-fold purpose 

of keeping the plough steady, and when 

the share comes in contact , 

with a stone, by 

lifting the handle, or Idmh-chrann upwards 

like a lever, the share and sock can be lifted 

clear of the obstruction. The ploughman 

uses only one hand, and walks on the left 

aide of the implement, instead of behind, as 

is now usual in ploughing.
