ROIMH-RÀDH

An uiridh fhuair mi mar thiodhlac Nollaige leth-bhreac den leabhar The Scots Thesaurus a chaidh fhoillseachadh le Comann Nàiseanta an Fhaclair Albannaich. Tha a luchd-foillseachaidh (Chambers) a' tagairt gur e "iùl air leth do bharrachd air 20,000 facal Albais".

Thòisich mi faighneachd dhiom fhèin carson nach eil a leithid againn anns a' Ghàidhlig - leabhair-iùil air son daoine (sgrìobhadairean, oileanaich, luchd- ionnsachaidh agus mar sin air adhart) a tha a' sireadh fhacal ann an cànan nan Gàideal air son cuspairean sònraichte.

Anns na leth-cheud bliadhna a chaidh an ràitheachan Gairm fhoillseachadh - agus nach mòr am beud gun do sguir e! - thug Ruaraidh MacThòmais cothrom d' a h-uile sgrìobhadair Gàidhlig aithnichte ann an Albainn a obair a chur ann an clò. Aig an aon ám, dhearbh Gairm an dràsd' 's a-ris nach robh cuspair sam bith ann nach gabh mìneachadh no cur an cèill ann an Gàidhlig - cànan a tha dìreach cho saidhbhir, brìoghmhor ri teanga air bith eil

Uime sin, ma tà, chuir mi le chèile an leabhar beag seo. Chan eil e idir cho coileanta ris an Scots Thesaurus. Cha do rinn mi clàr-fhacal d' a h-uile cuspair air am b' urrainn dhomh smaointinn, ach nuair a tha rud-eigin a dh' easbhaidh tha mi a' stiùireadh an leughadair do fhaclairean agus leabhraichean eile far am faighear na tha a dhìth air/oirre.

Tha mi an dòchas gun dèan an dòigh seo an gnòthach.

Garbhan MacAoidh.

PREFACE

Last Christmas I was given a present of a copy of The Scots Thesaurus published by Chambers for the Scottish National Dictionary Association. The publishers describe this book as "a unique guide to over 20,000 Scots words".

On perusing it the thought occurred to me: Why don't we have something similar for Gaelic, i.e. a guide for anyone (writers, students, learners, etc.) who is looking for specific Gaelic words and expressions?

In the half-century that the magazine Gairm has been in existence - and how we wish it still were! - Derick Thomson has given every Gaelic writer of note the opportunity to put his or her work into print. At the same time, Gairm has demonstrated repeatedly that there is no subject that cannot be debated in Gaelic, a language that is every bit as rich and expressive as any other.

Accordingly I have compiled this modest compilation. Though nothing like as ambitious as The Scots Thesaurus, I hope it will serve the purpose. I have not provided word-lists for every subject I could think of, but where something is lacking I have directed the reader to other sources where suitable expressions and further information is to be found.

Girvan McKay.

Nota: Ann an 1999 dh' fhoillsicheadh faclair àraidh trì-chànanach fon tiotal: Ainmean Gàidhlig Lusan a tha ionmholta air a h-uile dòigh (ach a-mhàin is truagh nach eile gnè gach facal ann). Chan eil an clàr (Beurla-Gàidhlig) a leanas - agus a cho-chruinnich mi àireamh bliadhna roimh an leabhar le Bean-uasal Clark - cho riaghailteach no cho teòma idir. Uime sin, ma tha teagamh ann mu ainm sam bith, roghnaich an t-ainm, no ainmean, a thug ise!

Chan eil na tàthain (-) riatanach anns a mhòr chuid de na h-ainmean. Tha gnè an fhacail ag atharrachadh air uairean a-rèir an àite.

_____________________________________________________________________

Note: An admirable trilingual plant dictionary is: Gaelic Names of Plants (Joan W. Clark and Iain MacDonald, published at Tigh Solais, North Ballachulish, Fort William, 1999, ISBN 09536351 0 4). The only omission is that the gender of each name is not included. The word list that follows (English-Gaelic only) is much less systematic and expert. If there is any doubt, therefore, about any plant name, her name or names should be preferred.

In plant names hyphens can usually be omitted. The gender may vary from place to place or be optional.

*Ann an iomadh fhaclairean Gàidhlig agus Beurla gheibhear am facal "teile" mar ainm den mheas seo. Tha an eadar-theangachadh seo stèidhichte air mì-thuigse den fhacal Beurla "lime". Is e bun-chiall den fhacal "crann-teile" ("lime-tree", "linden-tree") agus chan eil dàimh sam bith eadar a' chraobh seo agus am meas searbh ris an cainear luchd-Beurla "lime" a tha na sheòrsa liomaid uaine.

32

*Lime: Some Gaelic and Irish dictionaries give "teile" as the name of this fruit. This is clearly based on a misunderstanding of the English word "lime" which originally denoted the lime or linden-tree and has nothing to do with the citrus fruit of the same name. Since "green lemon" is given in at least one English dictionary (Newnes) as a definition of this fruit, we have suggested liomaid uaine as a suitable Gaelic equivalent.
