    a stripper. A cow without horns is called a maoile. The house the hens are kept is called the hen house. Some people have a tin hen house because the brocks are afraid of tin. The hens lie on a roust fixed for them. When we are calling the ducks we call whait whait whait.
    Some people have boarded byres and others have thatched ones. The thatched byres are the warmest. When we are calling the goat we call nanny nanny. She is tied around the neck. A cow with horns is tied aroud the horns.
