Go gcoinní Dia i mbos a láimhe thú, agus nár dhúna sé a dhorn go teann choíche

Doesn't bos have an irregular dative?

You're right. It should be "i mbois a láimhe thú."

Only in set phrases. See FGB for examples without the slender ending.

Hi guys,

I really appreciate the commentary and want to thank you all for looking at this.

I’m just a little confused as to whether or not you have reached a consensus and if so what is it?

Thanks again all,

James

Thanks again for the help.
