    the untidy/overgrown wood, upper
    Cloítear leis na míreanna cáilithe Gaeilge Uachtair/Íochtair i gcásanna a bhfuil siad le fáil sa bhfianaise stairiúil (m.sh. 1617 'Coilsallaghoughter’); muna bhfuil fianaise dá leithéid, is iad Uachtarach agus Íochtarach a fhreagraíonn do na míreanna Béarla Upper agus Lower, faoi seach

  • English
