  1. Potatoes

    Share Share Post
    Long ago the people used to make ridges for potatoes with a wooden plough. All the people used those long ago.
    The old people had many names on potatoes - Sciollóg - this is a word they call the waste potatoes that they have after the slits being cut. Práiscín - is the name they call the bag into which the people put the slits when spreading them.
    Sciolláin - is what they call the slits that they sow every year.
