During reading group, where we work our way through Old Irish texts we discuss the grammar. Sometimes these discussions can get quite heated, entertaining and downright silly.
'I don't know why they do this .... but I really shouldn't be criticising their Old Irish. It is better than mine.'
Prof. TOC on a certain grammtical problem we were working through in the Cath Almaine text. He felt a bit sheepish criticising whey they did something that didn't make a grammatical sense, but felt it cheeky of him to disagree with those whose own language it was. Is there any wonder why I love Old Irish.
