My guess is that it should be "Nead an Lacha sa Mhuta" (FGB gives "muta" as a variant of "buta," meaning "cask," so this would work out to "the duck's nest in the cask/barrel," which makes some sense). Nothing else I can come up with makes any sense..."láchán" means "foolishly amiable person" and "láchan" means "dawning," and "múta" means "lout," but none of those work at all given "Nead." Any thoughts? Here's a link to the actual thread at The Session: http://www.thesession.org/discussions/display.php/5787 Redwolf _________________ Is fearr Gaeilge bhriste ná Béarla cliste Is fearr Gaeilge na scoile ná gan Gaeilge ar bith No roads were elevated during the course of this translation.
