Hello,

I'm still learning the scottish gaelic
I'm in the 6th and 7th lesson on TAIC. But I don't find any exemple of "of" with a proper noun
Can you tell me "Piobaireach of Donald Dubh" in gaelic? or 'the Calum's anger" ?
With de? den?? lenite or not?
Tapadh leibh!

"de" signifies a quantity or measure relationship.

Thank you so much! I was studying the version for bagpipe.. your version is just wonderful and so emotional!
