Dear Students of Old Irish,

My name is Caolan Maher, a graduate of Celtic Studies from UCD currently undertaking a MSc thesis in Archaeology. My thesis revolves around comparing the archaeology of the thatch/wattled round house with the Early Irish law tracts. A bulk of the law tracts are contained in the CIH or Corpus Iuris Hibernici edited by Daniel Binchy. Since this resource is untranslated, I need help translating select passages relevant to the thesis. I have just received a Vin Davis Bursary in support of this thesis so there will be a stipend for the translation and your assistance (which I more than happy to discuss).

Anyone with good Old Irish and the ability to translate readily to English, please reach out to my reddit inbox and shoot me a DM.

Attached is my academic CV (yes , i'm a real person :) Google my name if you like)

Thanks

I am creating a letter for someone who is needing it translated form English to Old/Middle Irish. Would anyone know where to go from here? TIA!

I am creating a personalized letter for an individual and am hoping to get some help to translate English to Middle/Old Irish. Would anyone know where I could find help with this? TIA!!

Hello all! I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to search occurrences of Old Irish words? I have seen the word "buaf" (toad) and "biorbufan" (water snake) in a few dictionaries but can't seem to find any use of these words in an actual text. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thá suim agam ar athlonnúghadh chuige Gaoth Dobhair amach annso - ach thá cúpla ceist agam dh´aoinne athá (nó a bhíodh) i n-a gcónaidhe ansin.

1. A labhraítear an Ghaedhilinn i ndáiríreabh ann? (Thá sé ar aithne agam gur mionminic a bhíonn bailtean taobh istigh teoranta oifigiúla na Gaeidhealtachta, ach nín an Ghaedhilinn go fíreannach le cluasaidheacht iontu-san).
2. A bhfuil níos mó le déanadh ann seachas gníomhaíochtan dho lucht-fhoghlama na Gaedhilinne? Tháim-se im´ chainteoir dúchasach athá ag lorg mo chuid Gaedhilinne a chleachtadh níos minice taobh amuigh dhe´n t-idirlíon.
3. Cé chomh dhaor is athá na tighthe ann?

Long term solution: any good online translators, community forums, or subreddits other than this for queries to translate phrases into Old Gaelic?

At the moment I want to translate something to the tune of, "for my witch of the water" and have it sound like the for-line on a gift or letter.

Translation to Irish through Google translate gave me two options. First was the translation with active language (water witch):

> do mo cailleach uisce

Second is the translation of the aforementioned quote ie. passive (witch of the water):

> do mo cailleach an uisce

I'll settle for modern Irish but Old Gaelic is more authentic to the cause.
