| Most of us here only speak a little conversational Gaidhlig Nancy. The best translation i could do was:- Tha mi a' cur dìon-falaich air neach-seilbh a' chlaidheimh a' toirt trèine, cridhe agus comas airson sabaid an nàmhaid Although i hasten to add it would be better to wait & see if someone can come up with a better one. Perhaps Faileas (who lives on the isle of Skye) or someone else can help you better than i could. |

| Halò mo charaid! I would have this inscription on a sword if I had one! "Na tarraing mi gun adhbhar, 's na pill mi gun chliu." Neither draw me without cause, nor return me without honour. |

| And I would go for Cù Dubh's translation without even doubt it could possible be wrong - he's an excellent Gaelic speaker! |
