Thank you for all the assistance. Tha ceistean eile agam (mu dhéidhinn Oidhche Shamhna): Would 'gealach-fhuil' be the correct tr*nsl*t**n for 'Blood Moon'? Is 'bhampair' really the only tr*nsl*t**n for vampire? Isn't there Gaelic lore relating to these creatures - BaoBhan Sìth, Droch-Fhola, Dreach-F...

Ceistean

I used the following as a caption to a photo I took on the weekend, but I'm still not sure I got it right: "Éirigh na gréine os coin a' chnoic an-diugh." It is meant to say "Sunrise over the hill today". I've not used 'os coin' before but it said it was followed by the genitive, ...

You have to find your own study buddies, and I found my tutor somewhat unresponsive to any contact outside of the one hour lon...

Colin and Cumberland has a "leis a' chù" phrase, so I guess with pets both "le" and "còmhla ri" are OK. You can also say "leis a' chù dubh", because "dubh" starts with a d - http://akerbeltz.org/index.php?title=The_homo-organic_rule_or_When_not_to_l...
