  1. Seanfhocla

    Bhí go leor sean-fhocla ag na sean-daoine san am fadó. Chuala mé cuid acu:-

    Is fearr an sláinte ná na dainte
    Aithnigheann ciaróg ciaróg eile
    Ní théigeann cuileóg isteach san mbéal a bhíos dúnta
    Ceard a deanfadh cut acht luch a mharbhadh
    Aithnigheann an gadhuidhe an fear fairneasach
    Is féarr an ócras ná an uaigneas
    Is féarr bocht nó nocht
    Ní hé lá na gaoithe lá na sgoilbh
    Is féarr éin in do lamh na beirt sa toirt(?)
    Tús maith leath na h-oibre
    Bíonn gach tosnú lag
    Is fearr ceart na neart
    Is fearr focal sa cuairt ná púnt sa sparan
    Is fearr lubhad ná brisead
