To: DieHard the Hunter

Thanks - I was just a little curious.

I figured: ‘I am the head/chief of my home/clan’. 2nd sentence was ? and the last I thought: ‘Do not pass’. I could have used ‘way’ but it didn’t fit. I used “bealach” - ‘boreen’ as in [cow] pass/way. It’s been a while and probably used as something else now.

“Way/Pass/Cow” example:
Gaelic for the Milky Way = Bealach na Bo Finne = “The Way of the Bright Cow”.

Anyway I love the tag! :)

(big grin!) We’re Scots, so our Gaelic is probably somewhat illiterate. Chances are my ancestors and I have it wrong. No worries, but! I’ll keep it the way it is.

Cheers, and God Bless America!
