Death of Man Who Taught Himself
Printing
MR EDWARD DWELLY, a genealogist, who
aught himself printing and published works
>n the Gaelic language and on parish
egisters and pedigrees, died on Wednesday
t his home at Fleet, Hampshire, aged 74.
Formerly a bank clerk in London, he comaled,
printed, and published, single-handed,
Gaelic dictionary of over 1000 pages and
;ith 675 illustrations. For this he was awarded
Civil List pension.
His books were widely read by genealogists
nd excited widespread interest in America.
lr Dwelly, who had an index of about 500,000
lips of references to names for family
istories. was a member of many societies
oth at home and abroad interested in
;enealogy.

HE first edition of this work, which appeared in
parts under the title of Faclair Gaidhlig
le dealbhan, and the nom-de-plume of " Ewen
Mac Donald " being now out of print, the
necessity has arisen for a new edition. The one I now
present to the public will, I trust, be found of service both to beginners and advanced students
equal
of the
language. The first edition of the work has been care-
to make
fully revised and no expense or labour spared
this the most reliable and complete Gaelic Dictionary
obtainable.
The work was originally undertaken solely for my
own private use, but after continual urging by other
Gaelic students who had seen it, and proved its utility
by experience, I at last consented to print it and so
make the result of my
labours accessible to all.
The vocabulary is based on that of MacLeod & Dewar,
so much appreciated by Gaelic students, and where the
of that work differs from MacBain's Gaelic
orthography
Dictionary that of the latter has been generally adopted
here. All the words not given by MacLeod & Dewar,
but appearing in any of the other Gaelic Dictionaries are
now included besides some thousands of words gathered
from Common Speech and the whole range of Modern
Scottish Gaelic Literature, including the Gaelic names
of Plants, Diseases and Birds, Technical Terms, &c., com-

u
piled from lists given in pamphlets and periodicals from
time to time. All the examples of idiomatic phrases
and proverbs given by MacAlpine have been retainedy as well as Armstrong's, where not practically the same,
and many from Nicolson's Gaelic Proverbs have been
added, with large numbers from various other sources,
Local words and provincialisms from Common speech,
&c., many never printed before.
My thanks are chiefly due to his Most Gracious
Majesty the late King Edward, for graciously awarding
me a Civil List Pension when only about one half of
the Dictionary had been issued to the public, and his
Majesty's lamentable death is one of the dark shadows
that mars my pleasure at the completion of my life-work,
by preventing the possibility of my offering a copy for
his acceptance. The great expense entailed by the
publication of a book of this magnitude singlehanded, i&
a constant and heavy drain on the income of anyone of
small means, and were it not for the receipt of this-
the continuation of the
pension when it was awarded,,
publication beyond page 600 would have been, at least
for many years, an absolute impossibility. Before
proceeding any farther, I should have had to execute
enough remunerative work to enable me to purchase the
necessary materials to continue the Dictionary as well as
to live upon, an exceedingly hard task after the struggles
1 had already gone through, and one which would have
no doubt eventually ended in the abandonment of the
publication in an unfinished state. Owing to unfortunate
investments I had already had to earn all the
money to purchase the necessary materials to produce this
book as well as much of my living for some years by
doing any printing I could get but the strain on brain
;
and eyesight entailed by thus always working at the highest
pressure and for
exceptionally long hours, so that
the Dictionary might be completed as quickly as possible,
could not have been continued much longer.

Ill j
I have much pleasure in acknowledging the great
help given by my correspondents in all parts of the
world, both by sending numbers of words that were new
to me and by obtaining many subscribers to the work.
I am also indebted to my wife for revising proofs, as-
sisting in folding sheets, and preparing parts for post,
as well as for advising many translations. The success
of the work is in no small measure due to her
assistance in household matters, and by keeping down
domestic expenses making money available for its production
that would have otherwise been spent in an un-
productive way. The following gentlemen have kindly
assisted by following the work during its progress through
the press, and it is largely due to their suggestions and
additions that the compilation of such a full and accurate
vocabulary of Scottish Gaelic has been possible.

the Press both at home and abroad, for the detailed
reviews they have given of the parts as they appeared,
and for their hearty appreciation of my labours.

No one who has always spoken a language like
Gaelic from the cradle can ever realize the extraordinary
difficulties presented to a stranger who wishes to acquire
it. First, the majority of Gaelic speakers only a very
few years ago could neither read nor write it, so when
one heard an unfamiliar word or phrase and the first
instinct was of course to write it down lest it should be
forgotten, the question was how to spell
it of course
the speaker could not tell ! I was baulked in this way
times without number, and my progress with the language
immensely retarded in consequence. Next, the great
difficulty of inducing a Gael to engage in a Gaelic con-
versation if he thinks he can make himself understood at
all by means of indifferent English, or even if there is
anyone present who cannot understand Gaelic, makes the
acquisition of a knowledge of colloquial Gaelic much more
difficult than is the case with other modern tongues, for
it is only by posing as a Highlander and one who knows
Gaelic that one can ever hope to hear it spoken habitually
and without restraint. These are real difficulties, but
they may be overcome by scheming and perseverance as
I have proved.
This Dictionary is of especial value to the beginner.
Many who did not learn the language in infancy, but acquired
it in later life through the medium of books, have
notified me of the difficulties of grammar and idiom they
.met with. Such difficulties are likely to puzzle other
novices, and have therefore been explained under their
appropriate headings. Grammatical difficulties have been

elucidated by good Gaelic scholars, and no labour lias
been spared to make the work as complete and reliable
as possible. Some have found fault with my explanations
here and there as being too full but I have always
purposely inclined to being too explicit rather than too
vague, because while one reader may be far beyond any
assistance a certain explanation gives, the next may find
in it an elucidation of a difficulty that he has been trying
to get explained for months. This has been
brought home vividly to me by some of my proof-readers
making such remarks as, "unnecessary," u self-evident,"
&c. beside explanations I have given of difficulties that
had puzzled me considerably when a beginner, and the
full understanding of which I had imperceptibly acquired
as I attained increased fluency in speaking the language.
Some scholars object to some of the words given in
other Dictionaries as being Irish and not Scottish Gaelic,
but many of these so-called Irish words are in daily use
in Cantyre and appear in the Scottish Gaelic Bible, and
the close similarity the Gaelic speech of the West of
Scotland has to that of the North of Ireland (much closer
than the native English of places not farther removed from
one another and with no sea between them) makes the
interchange of words easy and often convenient. Many
of those who condemn the use of what they call " Irish "
words, have no scruple in introducing English and Doric
words, which they try to pronounce and write according
to Gaelic rules, apparently to make their identity somewhat
obscure, when there are already two or three native
Gaelic words much more to the point.
A few correspondents have complained that the work
is too crowded, in places, with obsolete or English words,
but only those given in other Gaelic Dictionaries figure
here, although more prominence has been given to the
character of Anglicisms. Words marked obsolete in.
some Dictionaries, may often have been obsolete for a long
period in the districts in which the compilers of those

particular works lived, while still used in other places.

Sometimes Eng. or

been adopted here, and all such words
thus
clarc, s.m. Gaelic spelling of clerk.
This is the first Dictionary of the Gaelic language
in which an attempt has been made to explain words by
means of diagrams, and the first in which especial care
has been taken in collecting localisms, the names of old
Highland implements, &c., and their parts, many of which
are now only to be found in one or two remote parishes
of the Western Isles, from which they are fast disappearing.
The lists of technical terms here given have never
been published before, and the whole of the illustrations,
with one or two exceptions, have been specially drawn
for the work.
It is a cause of regret that type of a larger size
could not have been used, but, owing to the great increase
that would have caused in the bulk of the book, it was
found to be impossible.
No attempt has been made to give a so-called phonetic
spelling of each word as MacAlpine does. The
orthodox spelling of the Gaelic language being practically
phonetic on its own lines, by far the simplest way is to
learn the correct sounds of the various Gaelic combinations
of letters from some good text-book, of which there
are many, and if possible, with the aid of a native Gaelic
speaker.
Eeaders must use their own discretion in practising
some of the forms given when translating from English
into Gaelic. Many of the words which have here been
added to MacLeod & Dewar's vocabulary are localisms
and the persons or books from whom they were obtained
being nearly always indicated by signs or initials, the

In the-e examples air translates dirrerently
into English in every case, but the differences
are caused by the English verbs, each of
which requires its own preposition as a complement.
Classing these under the various
meanings would hide from the learner the
fact that the Gaelic prep, has the same mean-
ing in each case adversity, adverse circumstances,
mishap, disaster, trickery suffered, &c.

was used by the Celts from cue earnest times
but the variety of colours in the taraccui was
greater or less, according to the ran K of the
wearer. That of the ancient kings had seven
colours, that of the druids six, and that of
the nobles four. In the days of Martin the
tartans seemed to be used to distinguish the
inhabitants of different districts, and not the
members of different families as at present.
He expressly says that the inhabitants of the
various islands were not all dre.-sed alike,
but that the setts and colours of the various
tartans varied from isle to isle. As he does
not niHiition the use of a spe-'ial pattern by
each family, it would appear that such a distinction
is a modern one, and taken ir.nn tha
ancitr.it custom of a tartan for each d>lrict,
the family r cla:i n>. ori/inallv >-t numerous

is the original garb of the Highlanders, and
formed the chief part of their costume. The
breacan in its simple form is uow seldom used
It consisted of a plain piece of tartan, two
yards in width, and four or six in length. In
dressing, this was carefully plaited in the
middle, of a breadth suitable to the size of
the wearer, and sufficient to extend from one
side around his back to the other, leaving as
much at each end as would cover the front of
the body, overlapping each other. The plaid
bbing thus prepared, was firmly bound round
the loins with a leathern belt, in such a manner-that
the lower side fell down to the middle
of the knee-joint aud then, while there
were the foldings behind, the cloth was dou
ble in front. The upper part was then fastened
on the left shoulder with a largo brooch
or pin, so as to display to the best advantage
the tastefulness of the arrangement, the two
ends being sometimes suffered to hang down,
but that on the right side, which was necessarily
the longer, was more usually tucked
under the belt. Logan.

cha 190 chionn
cha, negative particle, Not. [CTia aspirates
the fat. neg. of a verh, also the initial of
words beginning with labials and gutturals,
and, in Argyllshire, with dentals also, as
cha dhuin andorus, the door will not shut ;
cba dhaor a phris, its price is not high. Cha
simply negatives the signification of the verb,
as, (do) bhuail mi, I struck; cha do bhuail mi,
I did not strike. It becomes cha'n before initial
vowels or/ pure, as cha'n 61 mi, / shall
not drink; cha'n fhosgail mi, / shall not open.
Dr. Gillies remarks that the n of cha'n in
cha'n 'eil, "shows the abiding influence of a
lost dental n, the n doubtless which re-asserts
itself before initial vowels io shows
that it is wrong to separate the ?i of cha'n as
is usually done in writing, as cha'n, cha-n
and cha n-." [N is not a dental, and the n
has as much right to separation as in gu'n
dean. Cha'n is
simply aspirated gu'n or co'n,
only the aspirating influence is lost. It was
no cha'n, and appears again in nachJ

[The following remarks by J.G3I. concerning
ih-i form of the verb in -eas (e.g. cluinnf
eas) should i>e borne ia m iiid. "In theJGaelic
sense i> is not subjunctive. The proof is
that cluinnear coes duty for cluinn, cluinnidh
ar.d clumncas in the so-called Passive.
Thus ma, which in active takes -eas, in passive
takes cluinnear ; an and nach, which in
active take cluinn, in passive take cluinnear,
and the absolute cluinnidk is represented in
passive. ).y clvinnear. The so-calied passive
is r. ;tl.y an impersonal form e. g. tillear air
'ais, he returns home. How en nan intransitive

of clay resembling the unfortunate one, and
placed it in some out-of-the-way burn under a
Ccipice, in such a way that the water trickslowly
on it. As the clay body wasted so
the live body of the person it resembled was
also supposed to waste away. Were the body
found, it was carefully preserved, and so the
spell of the witch was broken. Sometimes
pins were stuck in the clay body to make
the death of the doomed one more painful.
Several such bodies have been found, even of
late years.

used now, though at one time common enou-; i,
especially iu the Western Isles. The parish
of Barvas is the only part of Li-wis where it
is still used. It is usually drawn by one
horse, though two can be used. From its
construct iou it is especially suited to the
stony ground of the crofts, and its gradual
disappearance is a cause of great regret, as
thero is no other implement, equally convenient
to take its place. It possesses a great
advantage over the common iron plough, in

the horse, it serves the two-fold purpose

In Old Gaelic the article sometimes ended
in d. In Skye that d of the article has some-
times been retained before fh, as, an d
fhaidhe, of the prophet ; and sometimes the d
is absent, as, an fnir, of the man. This d
appears with great irregularity in connection
with feminine nouns, as, an d-fhois, the rent ,
