[An excerpt]

Ós fusta liorna séiltigh snáibh
Foradhú ná dean fhúinn’ lior sóibh,
Cuí éasraigh fuínn’ bhóg an ŋatéav,
Ímeann an náidear –
Tsáŋód ri mbocaín rús dean thraebh
Ag romhar féadar.

Notes

  • Even though the standard way of forming the possessive "X of Y" is X-CONST Y, the construction an X le Y is also valid.
  • The following pairs of vowels are considered to be the same for the purposes of rhyming: /ɪ iː ɛ eː/ = /ʏ yː œ øː/
