The Scottish Celtic review

orGaelic Orthoijraplijj— Common Mldakes. 287(v. 21); but for the preservation of tlio nasal before the tenuea,as in "gu'n cuiroadli," although irregular, the wanction of themodern pronunciation may, to some extent, be pleaded. " (luraibh " (v. 19 J is regular.In the General Assembly's Edition (l.S2()), the nasal is preservedirregularly in "gu'n robh " and omitted irregularly before h in"gu bi " (vv. 4 and 12) and " gu bitheamaid " (v. 21). All theother examples are regular.In the 1880 Edition, the retention of the nasal before robh (v.l4!),faigJt. (v. 10), and cuireadh (v. 20) is irregular, although perhapssanctioned by the modern pronunciation. In this edition,however, the nasal is erroneously vi^ritten as a euphonic letter,although it is not easy to see why a euphonic letter should berequired between (/ii.and robh in v. 14
