- Spadal = (The spadal is still used. D.O'C.)a dished or basin-mouthed implement of iron with a wooden handle of something more than 2 feet in length. It was carried when ploughing, on the beam or handles of the plough and was used to clean the "board". The semi-elliptical shape of the mouth of the spadal facilitated the cleaning.

* (Continued from end of page 3)( Séámus an chaca etc.)any workmen he would see failing in an ordinary duty through awkwardness or lack of energy. He expressed it this wise:- "Wisha Séamus an chacha, I wouldn't doubt you!" but the emphasis or accent was invariably on the A in Séamus so much so that I always associated the name as he pronounced it with a synonym for failure and that for long, both before and after I had closer acquaintance with Rí Séamus.
SPARTHOGUES = (? spartóga)the light topping taken from a turf bank, generally with a shovel. It was brought home and used as a backing to the fire. It was very lasting. (Maurice Devaney)(Continued on page 10(continues on next page)- Collector
