verse 9 from the 1804 text Tha mo chriosan air dol an airde, Cha'n ann o fhidhlair, na o chlarsair, Ach o stiuireadair a bhata, 'S mur tig thu dhathigh, struagh mar tha mi. Chriosan = belt On another thread this verse is Tá mo chroí-se ag dul in airde chan don fidléir, chan don cláirseoir Ach do stiúrthóir an bháta; Is mura dtig tú abhaile is trua atá mé chroí-se = heart Could the first line of this verse refer to the heart and not the belt (inferring pregnancy). I am no expert on Gaelic dialects .
