Iâve managed to translate almost a page of âAn Fiachâ (âThe Huntâ), a two page story by Liam Ă Flaithearta (native of the Aran Islands). Itâs about a dog chasing a rabbit on a rocky shore; given how Ă Flaitheartaâs stories usually go, I expect a bad ending for one or both. My favorite phrases so far are âshrĂłn le talumhâ (ânose to the groundâ) and âguala le gualainnâ (âshoulder to shoulderâ). Itâs slow going, but some words are coming back to me. Iâve requested a collection in English from the library in hopes Iâll find a good translation to compare with my literal and dodgy efforts. #liamoflaherty #liamoflaithearta #anfiach #irish #translation #foclĂłir #dĂșil (at Longfellow) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce7cNCBMtMe/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
