    Tomhais:
    Ní fuil, ní feoil a’s ní cnámh é,
    As fuil, as feoil a d’fhás sé,
    Baintear an ceann de,
    Olann sé a dheoch,
    ‘Sé a gnídheas siothchain,
    Eadar caraid agus namhaid.
    (Peann cleite.)
    Tomhais:
    Bíonn sé sa teine agus ní dhóightear é,
    Bíonn sé sa t-siopa agus ní dhíoltar é,
    Bíonn sé san uisge agus ní bháidhtear é.
    (Deallradh na gréine.)
    Tomhais:
    Codhluigheann sé san oidhche agus a cheann in a shúil aige.
    (Buarach bó)

    Sean-fhochal:
    Fhad as bhéas an sneachta ar na cnuic,
    Béidh sé ag cur, ag sioc nó ag séideadh.
