GUEST,Beachcomber	BS: Need help [with Scots Gaelic Translation] (10)	RE: BS: Need help [with Scots Gaelic Translation]	23 Feb 13
Isn't it more likely that these "nonsense" lines in old Gaelic poems and/or songs are merely sections, the correct words of which have been forgotten or , perhaps, misheard or misunderstood over many, many years ? There are many dialects in the language , as I know from Irish language differences on this small island Anyway,why would someone compose "nonsense lines" in their original poem or song ? I only ask ? I think that, perhaps, some do, nowadays, in an attempt to sound "ethnic".
