Famlagh (FAMM-lakh) is the generic term for seaweed. Pictured is techically bladderwrack, but to me that is the most seaweedy seaweed going. Are you enjoying this collection of beachy related things? Have I missed something out that's quintessentially Manx and beachy? Leave me a comment and i'll 'draw' your suggestions! #famlagh #seaweed #bladderwrack #beach #erytraie #nature #illustration #flashcard #language #learning #homeschool #isleofman #manxgaelic #gaelic #gaelg #discoverunder1k #illustrator (at Isle of Man) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNorhGDI-z_/?utm_medium=tumblr

Caair-hraie (pronounced kair-HRA-ee) means beach/shore chair. Ever relevant as we are easing lockdown restrictions here, and the term 'deckchairing' has hit it off. If you're unawares, it means - to meet outdoors in a social capacity usually in a garden, whilst maintaining distance and adhering to any other Gov guidelines. According to the dictionaries, the word for beach can also mean 'retreat/ing' I wonder if there's something to the duplicity of the word and this idea of distance? Is 'deckchairing' a thing where you are from? Or is this strictly an Anglo-Manx term? I wonder if the term was coined like this intentionally or unbeknownst? Part of the writers cultural DNA seeping out. I'm sure it's just a coincidence right? #erytraie #atthebeach #deckchair #deckchairing #caairhraie #socialdistancing #illustration #flashcard #language #learning #homeschool #isleofman #manxgaelic #gaelic #gaelg #illustrator #discoverunder1k (at Isle of Man) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNWvjEroGzu/?utm_medium=tumblr

Askaid varrey means sea boil. Not a very attractive name for the anemone. This one pictured is the beadlet anemone which I've only ever seen in it's 'boil' or beadlet stage on Port Jack beach. It does this when the tide goes down or when it feels threatened. #sea #mooir #beach #erytraie #rockpool #anemone #seaanemone #beadletanemone #askaidvarrey #gaelg #illustration #flashcard #language #learning #homeschool #isleofman #manxgaelic #gaelic #gaelg #discoverunder1k #illustrator (at Isle of Man) https://www.instagram.com/p/CM7Pr40olHN/?igshid=lpr0jujttoe4
