Abbyr Shen Reesht - Say That Again

Sunday, 5 September 2021 - 45 minutes

As veg ain jeh Pargys Caillit er yn oyr nagh row 'Traa dy Liooar' goll, ta shin clashtyn hoshiaght meeryn ass 'Shiaght Laa', roish my vees doolane currit foin lesh feyshtyn liorish Jamys Kinry ass 'Jamys Jeheiney'. Ta lessoon giare er-nyn-son liorish Phil Gawne ass 'Goll as Gaccan', as eisht ta shin clashtyn toshiaght nah chabdil y skeeal ard-ghooagh, Y Gheay ayns ny Shellee, as chyndaays 'sy Ghaelg jeh'n Vaarle scruit hoshiaght ec Kenneth Graham.

With nothing of the Manx paraphrase of Paradise Lost because 'Traa dy Liooar' wasn't on, we hear first pieces from 'Shiaght Laa', before a challenge is thrown down to us with questions by James Harrison from 'Jamys Jeheiney'. There's a short lesson for us by Phil Gawne from 'Goll as Gaccan', and then we hear the start of the second chapter of the famous story, The Wind in the Willows, and a translation into Manx of the English written originally by Kenneth Graham.
