Hi,
I've just uploaded a dictionary called foclóir g-b to the Dictionaries
folder. It is a word document, but should also open in Open Office, and
hopefully Apple, because it is from Word 2003.
It is based on the Harper-Collins 1999 pocket dictionary, but is also quite
different. It uses contracted verb forms (mostly found in Munster Irish
today). it is a work in progress (like all dictionaries). For instance,
not all the contracted verb forms are used, yet.
There's no such thing as a perfect dictionary. For example, ion the first
page, I use *sa choirnéal, *but *sa chúinne *would have been just as good.
The former is more common in the North, and the latter in Munster and
Connacht. Indeed, in Galway and Waterford you're liable to hear *sa
gcúinne. *
If anyone notices typos etc. please feel fere to amend.
Robbie
