CELT: Corpus of Electronic Texts

All editorial introduction, translation, glossary, notes and indexes have been omitted. Editorial corrigenda are integrated into the electronic edition. Only the text of the Murphy's edition is retained, and for this electronic edition the variants cited by Murphy are not reproduced. A full citation of variants is likely in a future electronic edition.

Text has been checked and proof-read. All corrections and supplied text are tagged. Further checking is required.

The electronic text represents the edited text. Words are segmented in accordance with CELT practice, but this segmentation may not be yet complete.

Quotation marks are rendered q.

Soft hyphens are silently removed. When a hyphenated word (hard or soft) crosses a page-break or line-break, the page-break and line-break are marked after the completion of the hyphenated word.

div0 encloses the whole text; div1 is the poem. Typographical line-breaks in prose passages are not marked. Page-breaks of the printed text are marked.

There are no dates.

Names of persons (given names and surnames), groups (dynasties, tribes, peoples etc.), places are tagged. Numbers and dates are tagged.

Tāinic an ingen & do ⋅īn re 'thāebh h-ī & do-rinne nūalghubha & toirrsi mhōr. Cidh dhamsa, ōl sī, an bās d'&fdot;aghāil do chumhaid mu chēle in tan a-tāt na fīadhmhīla folūaimnecha ac faghāil bhāis dā chumhaid? & at-bert Crēdhe:

 Géisid cúan ós buinne rúad Rinn Dá Bhárc: bādud laích Locha Dá Chonn is ed chaínes tonn re trácht. Luinchech corr i seiscenn Droma Dá Thrén: sis ní aincenn a bí — coin&fdot;íad dá lí for tí a h-én. Trúag in fhaíd do-ní smólach i n-Druim Chaín; ocus ní nemthrúaige in scol do-ní in lon i Leitir Laíg. Trúag int ⋅éis do-ní in dam i n-Druim Dá Léis: marb eilit Droma Sílenn; géisid dam dílenn dá h-éis. Ba sáeth lim bás in laích ro laiged lim: mac na mná a Daire Dá Dos, a beith is cros úasa chinn. Sáeth lim Cáel do beith i richt mairb rem tháeb, tonn do thecht tar a tháeb n-gel; is ed rom-mer mét a áeb. Trúag in gáir do-ní tonn tráchta re tráig: ó ro báid fer ségda sáer sáeth lim Cáel do dul 'na dáil. Trúag in fúaimm do-ní in tonn risin trácht túaid, ac cenngail im charraic caín, ac caíned Chaíl ó do-chúaid. Trúag in tres do-ní in tonn risin trácht tes; mise do-dechaid mo ré: messaite mo gné (fo-fes). Caínce corr do-ní tonn trom Tulcha Léis; mise nochan &fdot;uil mo maín ó rom-maíd in scél rom-géis. Ó ro báided mac Crimthain nochan &fdot;uil m' inmain dá éis; is mór tríath ro thuit le a láim; a cíath i ló gáid nír géis. & do ⋅īn an ingen re tāebh Chāeil & fūair bās dā chumhaid; & do h-adlacad īat ar-āen a n-āein&fdot;ert ann sin; & as misi fēin (ar Caīlte) ro tocuibh in līa fil ōsa lighi, conidh Feart Cáeil & Crēidhe a-derur ris.
