Abbyr Shen Reesht - Say That Again

Va meer ass Pargys Caillit ry chlashtyn ayns 'Traa dy Liooar' y cheayrt shoh, myr shoh ta caa dooin clashtyn Juan y Geill lhaih magh shen er-nyn-son.

Ayns 'Goll as Gaccan' ta drane ry chlashtyn, jeusyn ta goll er screeu dy ynsaghey paitchyn sheeanyn ny Gaelgey. 

Ta shin foast jeeaghyn er cooinaghtyn Neddy Beg Hom Ruy ayns 'Claare ny Gael', as y cheayrt shoh t'eh cheet er yn aght va ny eeasteyryn gymmyrkey tra v'ad cheet gys jerrey yn imbagh as va'n eeastagh skeddan cheet gy kione.

There was an extract from the Manx paraphrase of Paradise Lost in 'Traa dy Liooar', so we have the opportunity to hear Jack Gell reading out that for us.

In 'Goll as Gaccan' there's a rhyme to be heard, one of those that are being written to teach children the sounds of the Manx Gaelic language.

We're still looking at the reminiscences of Neddy Beg Hom Ruy in 'Claare ny Gael', and this time he's referring to the way that the fisherman behaved when they were coming to the end of the season and the herring fishery was coming to a close.
