* The Judeo-Gaelic Enlightenment (JG אן לעאראקוּת (קֿעל'אך) ''ăn Learăgüs (Ghełăch)'', Heb. ההשכּלה הקלית ''ha-Haskålå haq-Qėlith'') was focused on discovering and consciously borrowing from an older Gentile Goidelic literary tradition and seeking out older Goidelic and other Celtic sources for new Ăn Yidiș words, mainly "cognatizations" or hypothetical Ăn Yidiș descendants and cognates of words in Old Irish and other Celtic languages. (Gentile Goidelic varieties were already extinct by this time.) This helped Jews become literate in the Celtic literature that was part of the Gentile literary canon. The publication of a grammar of Old Irish in Ăn Yidiș and Hebrew created a boom of Gaelic-inspired literary activity in this period. Learăgüs writers even rederived hypothetical synthetic verb forms and noun cases which were long since lost in Judeo-Gaelic, to streamline their Ăn Yidiș poetry and to consciously imitate older Gaelic, though these forms never caught on in common speech; this register is called אן לעאראקוּתיש ''ăn Learăgüsiș''. | * The Judeo-Gaelic Enlightenment (JG אן לעאראקוּת (קֿעל'אך) ''ăn Learăgüs (Ghełăch)'', Heb. ההשכּלה הקלית ''ha-Haskålå haq-Qėlith'') was focused on discovering and consciously borrowing from an older Gentile Goidelic literary tradition and seeking out older Goidelic and other Celtic sources for new Ăn Yidiș words, mainly "cognatizations" or hypothetical Ăn Yidiș descendants and cognates of words in Old Irish and other Celtic languages.
