   GREAM GÁRLACH:-
   This term was used when a visitor called to a house where a baby was recently born. And the expression used was "I came for my "gream gárlach". The person who told of the incident was of the opinion that the visit had something to do with a drop of whiskey.

   It is clear that the meaning of the term is to hold a newborn in one's arms.

   MUINEADH LADHAR:-
   The same person mentioned above had an Irish term which meant "an itching palm". I write the Irish from the sound of the word.

   ladhar the palm.
   muineach a bank or ridge or wave

   THE BLACK FEET AND WHITE FEET:- The two contending clans in this district, over 100 years ago, were know as the Black and White. THE CARABHATS AND THE SEANAVESTS:- These were the names of the contending parties in the Tipperary district not far from here. A man over seventy years told me that his grandfather had his house barricaded and occupied by neighbours awaiting the coming of the Black Feet.
