Murchadh: 鈥橲 e fear William Willett a bheachdaich air seo an toiseach. Dh鈥檉hoillsich esan p脿ipear air an robh an tiotal The Waste of Daylight agus bha esan a鈥� faireachdadh nan robh na clocaichean air a bhith air an cur air adhart as t-samhradh gun toireadh seo dhuinn barrachd uairean a th矛de airson a bhith ag obair, agus gun s脿bhaladh e airgead a bhathas a鈥� cosg air coinnlean 鈥檚 air gual 鈥檚 rudan mar sin.

听
Agus, an rud a bha esan a鈥� moladh, bha e gu math annasach. Bha e ag iarraidh anns a鈥� Mh脿irt a h-uile bliadhna gun cuireadh sinn na clocaichean air adhart fichead mionaid gach seachdain airson ceithir seachdainean. Agus a-rithist as t-fhoghar, anns an t-Sultain, gun cuireadh sinn air ais iad fichead mionaid gach seachdain airson ceithir seachdainean a-rithist. Mar sin, bha esan ag iarraidh na clocaichean a chur air adhart uair a th矛de is fichead mionaid.听

Aonghas: Agus mar sin, 鈥檚 d貌cha nam bithear ga dh猫anamh air do shocair mar sin, chan fhaireachadh tu leum cho m貌r, mar gum biodh.听

Murchadh: Uill tha mi cinnteach gu robh sin ann ceart gu le貌r, ach dh鈥檉heumadh tu bhith dol timcheall 鈥檚 a鈥� cuimhneachadh, a h-uile seachdain na clocaichean atharrachadh!听

Aonghas: Uill ma tha daoine a鈥� dol troimh-ch猫ile leis an uair a th矛de, 鈥檚 iongantach mura biodh sin air an cur triulaidh buileach!

Murchadh: D矛reach!

A鈥� Gearradh Leum 鈥檚 a鈥� S矛nteag! 2

Is fhada bho chuala sibh, 鈥淎m fear as luaithe l脿mh is e as fhe脿rr cuid", ach is e am fear agus an t猫 bu luaithe cas a bhitheadh air thoiseach, agus a gheibheadh na duaisean an latha seo. Cha b鈥� e sin na duaisean suarach cuideachd, agus bu mhath a b鈥� fhiach do dhuine str矛 is d矛cheall a dh猫anamh gus an cosnadh.

Ma bha casan na cloinne gu luath, sgiobalta am feasgar ud, sin mar nach robh sp貌gan an uaireadair anns a鈥� mhadainn. Chan fhacas iad a-riamh a鈥� gluasad cho mall is cho slaodach. Bha a h-uile c貌ig mionaidean cho fada ri seachdain le Niall, agus fadachd a bheatha air gus am faigheadh e a bhr貌gan canabhais mu a chasan. Ach mu dheireadh thall bhuail e leth-uair an d猫idh d脿 uair dheug, agus fhuair a鈥� chlann fa sgaoil.

Mach a thaom iad nan deann-ruith, a h-uile fear is t猫 cho luath ri gille-mirein. Cha robh fios aca siud gu d猫 am blas a bha air a鈥� bhiadh a bha iad ag ithe, leis a鈥� chabhaig a bha orra. Cha do rinn iad ach a shlugadh mar gu faiceadh tu faoileag ag ithe sgadain.

Chualas sgread nam busaichean air taobh a-muigh a鈥� gh脿rraidh aig c貌ig mionaidean gu uair, agus bha iad l脿n ann an tiotan. Is ann an siud a bha an toileachas an uair a r脿inig iad machair Shanndabhaigh agus a th貌isich a鈥� ch貌mhstri. 鈥淚s e farmad a n矛 treabhadh鈥�, tha iad ag r脿dh, agus gu dearbh cha bu bheag am farmad a bha siud, agus a h-uile duine, beag is m貌r, a鈥� d猫anamh uile dh矛cheall gus a bhith air thoiseach anns gach cleas. Cha robh se貌rsa cleas nach robh an siud, eadar leum fada is leum 脿rd, cruinn-leum, s矛nteagan agus r猫isean de gach se貌rsa.

鈥淣ach ne貌nach an rud a th鈥� ann鈥�, arsa Mgr. Mac an t-Saoir, agus fiamh a鈥� gh脿ire air an aodann aige, an uair a bha na gillean m貌ra a鈥� cruinneachadh agus a鈥� sgioblachadh nan r貌pan agus nam ball, nan cuibhlichean agus nam pocannan aig leth-uair an d猫idh ceithir, 鈥渕ar a bhitheas an deireadh a鈥� dol air an toiseach. C貌 shaoileadh gur e an gille a bhitheas ag 猫aladh don sgoil a h-uile madainn mar gum bitheadh seilcheag, a bheireadh a-mach a鈥� bhuaidh air c脿ch an-diugh! Is iomadh rud a ch矛 am fear as fhaide bhitheas be貌!鈥�

Ach cha robh iongnadh sam bith air Niall fh猫in ged choisinn e an cupa b貌idheach airgid a bha ri thoirt don ghille a b鈥� fhe脿rr a dh猫anadh aig na cleasan. Is fhada bho chuir e s霉il ann agus a chuir e roimhe nach robh duine dol ga fhaighinn ach esan!

Angela NicIlleathain: Christchurch

Angela: Tha e caran 脿raid a bhith na mo shuidhe ann a seo, d矛reach taobh a-muigh an fheansa, far a bheil a zone dearg. Tha meadhan a鈥� bhaile a鈥� coimhead cho s脿mhach, chan eil mi a鈥� faicinn duine, ach aig an aon 脿m tha mi a鈥� cluinntinn fuaim an obair leagail 鈥� chan e obair togail, ach obair leagail. Tha t貌rr togalaichean fhathast an 脿irde, tha mi a鈥� faicinn feadhainn le ainmean gu math ainmeil 鈥� Holiday Inn air mo l脿imh chl矛; mo l脿imh dheis, tha an Novotel.

Tha mi a鈥� faicinn bancaichean New Zealand cuideachd 鈥� t貌rr mor thogalaichean, ach feumaidh iad uile a thighinn a-nuas. Tha e do-chreidsinneach. Tha feadhainn dhe na togalaichean a鈥� coimhead ceart gu le貌r 脿s a seo, tha fios nach eil bhon taobh a-staigh, no bun-st猫idh nan togalaichean, ach feumaidh gu bheil iad gu math mi-sh脿bhailt鈥�. Chan eil fhios d猫 se貌rsa 脿it鈥� a bhios ann an d猫idh dhan a h-uile c脿il a thighinn a-nuas.听

Thuirt fear ris an do bhruidhinn mi gun do chaill Christchurch f猫in-aithne anns a鈥� chrith-thalmhainn. F猫in-aithne gu math Sasannach, thuirt e. Gur e sin an rud a bh鈥� aca, bha s貌nraichte dhan sg矛re-sa an taca ri sg矛re sam bith eile ann an New Zealand.听

Caol. C-A-O-L. Narrow, the narrow part of something. Caol an d霉irn 鈥榯he narrow part of the fist鈥� no 鈥榯he wrist鈥�. Air a鈥� mhapa tha caol mar as trice a鈥� buntainn ri uisge. Uaireannan bidh caol ann eadar d脿 rubha no eadar eilean agus t矛r-m貌r. Caol no caolas. Th脿inig caol a-steach don Bheurla mar 鈥榢yle鈥�. Caol Loch Aillse, Kyle of Lochalsh, the narrows of Loch Alsh. Agus Caol 脌cain 鈥� Kyleakin 鈥� H氓kon鈥檚 Narrows 鈥� far an do thog an Lochlannach, R矛gh H氓kon, c矛sean bho mharaichean a bha ag iarraidh a dhol tron chaolas 鈥� a r猫ir beul-aithris.

Nise, chleachd mi am facal 鈥榗aolas鈥� an sin. Tha e a鈥� ciallachadh an aon rud ri 鈥榗aol鈥�. Baile a鈥� Chaolais 鈥� Ballachulish 鈥� the township of the narrows. Gu tric 鈥檚 e kyles an dreach Beurla air. Mar eisimpleir, Kyles Scalpay 鈥� 鈥檚 e sin Caolas Sgalpaigh 鈥� eadar Eilean Sgalpaigh agus t矛r-m貌r na Hearadh. Agus Kylesku air taobh an iar-thuath t矛r-m貌r na h-Alba. An Caolas Cumhang a tha sin 鈥榯he narrow narrows鈥� no 鈥榥arrow strait鈥�.

D猫 mu dheidhinn Kyles of Bute? An e Caolas a tha sin? Gu tric bidh G脿idheil nach buin do dh鈥橢arra-Gh脿idheal ag r脿dh 鈥楥aolas Bh貌id鈥�. Ach tha e coltach gur e mearachd a tha sin. Tha d脿 chaol eadar B貌d agus t矛r-m貌r 鈥� an Caol an Iar agus an Caol an Ear. Anns an leabhar aige air Ainmean-脿ite Eilean Bh貌id tha Gilbert M谩rkus ag innse dhuinn gur e Na Caoil Bh貌dach a鈥� Gh脿idhlig cheart air Kyles of Bute. Ainm iolra. A plural name. Na Caoil Bh貌dach. Soraidh leibh an-dr脿sta.
