Thread Name: mysterious verse in 'early' Irish
Subject: RE: mysterious verse in 'early' Irish
From the online database referenced and linked to
in the previous post, here is their attempt
to spell out with the Roman alphabet
exactly what is in O'Mulconry's Glossary in the manuscript
at Trinity College Dublin.

Note the combination of Irish/Gaelic with the odd phrase in Latin.


Atrimther cethre nemed aile and .i. nem-aod, nem-mod,
nemh-odh, nemsuth.
Nem-aodh la cerda ? goibniu,
ar issed dobeir nemhtenchas doib in feith
doberait tre tine, ut dicitur [:]


Ronbris,
Ronbrúi,
Ronbaid,
A Rí in richid rindglaine,

Rongeilt in gaeth geib geilius,
Aod forderg fidnime.
