sullivand@A1PEKING.SUBURB.RDGMTS.MTS.DEC.COM From: David Sullivan Subject: Pan-Celtic translator required... X-To: welsh-l@irlearn.ucd.ie To: Multiple recipients of list WELSH-L [This message is converted from WPS-PLUS to ASCII] When I was on my narrowboat on the canal at Christmas (what did *you* do at Christmas ? I was icebreaking !) I saw a boat with the name "Traa dy looar"; instantly transposing myself into "pass it across your language matrix" mode I equated the name to "While your moon" (Tra dy loer) in some weird Cornish/Manx incarnation of Celtic. I asked the woman whose boat it was what the name meant and she said it meant "Time enough" (i.e. "There's no hurry") in what she said was "Gaelic". Which Gaelic is it ? The spelling looks a bit Manx (?)
