An Pluimeir Ceolmhar: "Ath-" as a prefix could also mean "second." So "athfhas" would mean "second growth" ie "in the next life." The fact of "resurrection" would not necessarily mean that the next life would be spent in "blessed Paradise." It is interesting that the poet used "athfhas" rather than "aiseiri."
