My odd interests–as Gaeilge

One of the bloggers at Agus Araile has a series of posts called Wes’s words you may never or hardly ever use. I commented on one of them today, which comes from a part of Irish history that particularly interests me. Tonight I went through all the words he had posted. Far from being “words you may never or hardly ever use”, over half of them are relevant to one or another of my active interests.
