An e "because there are the four, for which they are suppose to get public money"?
Cha chreid mi nach eil moran Beurla ann.
Tha abairt ann "look to someone for something"/"look to someone to do something".
...the four who they looked to to get public money.
"look to someone"... sin gu ìre "bi an dùil", ach le beagan de "cuir ullach air".

Channainnsa gur e ''the 4 they were looking at" a th' ann.
..gu bheil an ceithir, ris an do choimhead iad, uile a' faighinn...
(possibly written by the same lover of English-style complicated inserted sub-clauses as in your previous article)
Air feadh an artaigil chì sinn 'bha iad a coimhead ri...'.
Chan e sin ach eisimpleir eile de seo, nam bheachdsa.

Mòran taing!
Bhiodh sin nas fheàrr mas urrain dhomh an naidheachd seo lorg sa Bheurla; cha bhithinn-sa faighneachd ma deidhinn.
Cha robh mi cinnteach fiù 's an e 'ceithir' no typo...

Nach e "ceathrar" a b' fheudar a bhith an seo? 'S e an fhìrinn gur ann sa Bheurlaig a tha an aithris.

An ceithir oighreachdan? An e 'cethrar' a tha am facal ceart air a shon?

Chan eil, tha "an ceithir" ceart, 's nàdar de dh'ainmearan a tha sna h-àireamhan (cf an aon duine, an dà thaigh is msaa) agus tha ainmear an dèidh an àireamh. Nam biodh an àireamh leis fhèin, bhiodh ceathrar na b' fhearr.

A Sheonaidh,
Tha mi air rudeigin éisteachd a tha car coltach ris a' Chuimris. "...sianar de balaich..." 's mar sin air adhart.

Svartgeit - Seo na bh' ann, a rèir Eilidh:-

Sin e "an ceithir", gun ainmear. Agus mar sin dheth chuir me "an ceathrar".
"Sianar de bhalaich" - inntinneach. "Chwech o fechgyn"...tha mi a' creidsinn gu bheil "chwe bachgen" nas cumanta sa Chuimris co-dhiù.

You've missed his point. If it was a pronominal number
representing people it would be "ceathrar", but it's not people, so the normal number form applies.

Seadh, mearachdan a th' annta. Chan eil goireasan dearbhaidh aca aig a' BBC.

Tha am facal ud gu math mì-riaghailteach, 's e an rud a tha cunbhalach mu dheidhinn gur e /bauN/ a' ciad lide. Ach a thaobh litreachaidh is nan tuislean, chan eil aonta ann idir.
