- The heaviest curse at present is Marbhadh Fáisg ort. The squeeze band of Death on you.
Often (slán mar a n-innstear é) when a person dies the lower jaw drops and the mouth will not remain shut. A band has then to be put under the jaw and tied around the head tightly. This band is the Marbhadh Fáisg. It may be made of any material. - Transcription guide »You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
