Tormod a鈥� Bhocsair

Tormod: Bha an tidsear againn aost鈥� agus a鈥� casadaich.

听
鈥淣ame!鈥�, thuirt i ann an guth domhainn.

鈥淛ohn Duncan Mackay.鈥�

Bha mi a鈥� coimhead ri na h-aodainn air an robh na h-ainmeanan 霉ra seo.

鈥淢urdo Mackenzie鈥�, thuirt Murdo Mackenzie agus dh矛obhair e.

Leum an duine a bh鈥� air a bheulaibh a-mach 脿s a rathad.

鈥淓il pic dheth air mo dhruim鈥�, thuirt e riumsa, an aghaidh aige a鈥� tighinn eagallach faisg orm. Bha sgian na sh霉ilean agus f脿ileadh a鈥� chod liver oil bho anail. Cha robh an tidsear fiadhaich idir. Bhruidhinn i gu b脿idheil ri Murdo Mackenzie. Bha esan cho dearg ris an fhuil, a sh霉ilean fliuch is e air a n脿rachadh. Ach bhruidhinn i gu b脿idheil ris, am boireannach aosta seo aig an robh an droch chasad.

Chunnaic mi pacaid Capstan na baga, is chuir e dearg uamhas orm.

鈥淭ha i a鈥� smocaigeadh鈥�, thuirt mi ri John Murdo Campbell.

鈥淭ha i a鈥� smocaigeadh鈥�, thuirt John Murdo Campbell ri Louie Mackinnon, agus thuirt esan e ri Daniel Macdonald, agus thuirt Daniel Macdonald e ris an duine Sgitheanach a leum ron an d矛obhairt, is cha deach e na b鈥� fhaide na sin fh猫in.

鈥淓il d矛obhairt air mo dhruim?鈥�, dh鈥檉haignich esan.

鈥淪eall cho ruadh 鈥檚 a tha na corragan aice鈥�, thuirt mise ri John Murdo Campbell. Bha i b脿idheil agus cha bhiodh i fada be貌.

Fear an Taighe

Chan eil m貌ran ann an sg矛re Lag na Coille a tha cho trang ri Seumas, athair Chaluim, agus is math gu bheil cuideachadh aige anns an obair a tha aige ri dh猫anamh. Chan e gun cuir obair chruaidh c霉ram sam bith air, oir tha e na dhuine l脿idir, 猫asgaidh, d矛reach mar a bhitheas Calum fh猫in an uair a thig e gu aois.

Tha a鈥� chlann fh猫in cho 貌g agus gu bheil d霉il aca gu bheil an athair agus am m脿thair cus nas sine na tha iad. Chan eil athair Chaluim agus Mh脿iri ach ceathrad bliadhna 鈥檚 a h-aon, agus chan eil am m脿thair ach naoi-deug air fhichead. Tha iad le ch猫ile l脿idir, sunndach, fallain, agus is iad a dh鈥檉heumadh - is iomadh car a tha aca ri dh猫anamh.

Is ann ri taobh Loch an D霉in a rugadh agus a thogadh Seumas, agus is ann an seo a bha e a鈥� fuireach a-riamh, ach gu robh e c貌rr is ceithir bliadhna anns an arm aig 脿m a鈥� chogaidh. Thug e beagan mh矛osan anns an d霉thaich seo fh猫in an toiseach, agus bha e an uair sin anns an Fhraing, agus a-rithist anns an Eadailt agus anns a鈥� Ghearmailt. Is iomadh rud annasach a chunnaic e fad nam bliadhnachan sin, agus is f矛or thoigh le Calum a bhith a鈥� cur cheistean air athair mu na d霉thchannan sin. Cuiridh e annas air a鈥� mhaighstir-sgoile cho e貌lach 鈥檚 a tha Calum air na t矛rean seo, a tha cho fada air falbh.

Ged a tha Calum coltach ri athair, tha m貌ran ag r脿dh gur ann a bhitheas e cus nas 脿irde na e an uair a thig e gu aois. Chan eil na athair ach c貌ig troighean agus ochd 貌irlich a dh鈥櫭爄rde, ach bidh suas ri sia troighean ann an Calum fh猫in mus sguir e a dh鈥檉h脿s. Tha falt b脿n air athair d矛reach mar a tha air Calum fh猫in, ach tha r貌inneagan glasa a鈥� f脿s na mheasg a-nis, agus tha e a鈥� f脿s car tana. Bidh a bhean a鈥� tarraing 脿s airson seo gu math tric, ag r脿dh gu bheil e gus a bhith na bhodach!

A. Freagair na ceistean seo a-nis, cho math 鈥檚 a th猫id agad air:
1. Gu d猫 an se貌rsa duine tha ann an athair Chaluim?
2. Tha e feumail gu bheil e mar seo - carson?
3. Carson a tha a鈥� chlann an d霉il gu bheil am p脿rantan sean?
4. D猫 an aois a tha athair Chaluim?
5. D猫 an aois a tha a mh脿thair?
6. D猫 an aois a bha iad o chionn deich bliadhna air ais?
7. C脿it an robh Seumas aig 脿m a鈥� chogaidh?
8. D猫 an 霉ine bha e anns an arm?
9. D猫 an 脿ird a tha ann an athair na cloinne?
10. Saoil d猫 an 脿ird a tha ann am balla na sgoile?

B. L矛on gach 脿ite falamh an seo le facal freagarrach:
1. Bidh.... a鈥� d猫anamh aodaich.
2. Bidh.... ag obair le fiodh.
3. Bidh.... ag obair le iarann.
4. Bidh l矛on-sgadain aig....
5. Bidh.... a鈥� c脿radh bhr貌g.
6. Bidh.... a鈥� gleidheadh chaorach.
7. Bidh.... ag obair air an fhearann.
8. Bidh.... ag obair ann am b脿ta-sm霉ide.
9. Bidh.... a鈥� reic ann am b霉th.
10. Is e.... a bhitheas annam fh猫in an uair a dh鈥檉h脿sas mi m貌r.

Sgitheanaich (In this the sixth programme Alex MACDONALD听 chats to fellow Skye residents Seonaid MACLEOD, Mairianna MACKENZIE and Alasdair NICHOLSON)

Seonaid: Bidh mise a鈥� togail dhealbhannan agus tha mi a鈥� smaoineachadh, 鈥檚 e rud mu dheidhinn an eilein, 鈥檚 e solas a th鈥� againn. Tha solas cho diofraichte can tr脿th sa mhadainn no feasgar no ciaradh na h-oidhche.

Ailig: Agus bidh thu gan cur air Flickr, nach bi?

Seonaid: Bidh, am bi thu gan coimhead Ailig?

Ailig: Bidh, corra uair.

Alasdair: Bidh solas a鈥� dol s矛os is suas!

Mairianna: Fad na h-oidhche!

Seonaid: Feuch gum bi thu a鈥� dol air-loidhne a-nise!

Alasdair: Tha mi a鈥� smaoineachadh gur e an t脿ladh a tha san eilean do dhaoine, agus na tha a鈥� tighinn a-staigh seo do dhaoine eadar-n脿iseanta air feadh an t-saoghail, tha iad a鈥� tighinn dhan eilean seo is tha iad a鈥� faighinn a-mach mu dheidhinn. Agus tha mi a鈥� smaoineachadh gur e sin rud a tha math mu dheidhinn an eilein, a tha d貌cha an d猫idh an d貌igh a thoirt air adhart, agus seall air an spionnadh a tha e air thoirt dhan eilean, is am feum air a dh猫anamh do dh鈥檌omadach duine thairis nam bliadhnaichean. Tha e gl猫 mhath a bhith a鈥� coimhead air monaidhean is air talamh is air beagan lochan, chan eil ach dh脿 no tr矛 lochan uile gu l猫ir. Ach, nuair a smaoineachas tu air a sin, ma 鈥檚 e sin uile na th鈥� agad, feumaidh gu bheil rudeigin a tha gur t脿ladh as na daoine cuideachd. Tha e a鈥� toirt air feadhainn tighinn, eadar-n脿iseanta, a choimhead oirnn is a bhruidhinn rinn is a dh鈥檉huireach c貌mhla rinn.

Ailig: Is bidh iad a鈥� fuireach mar a tha thu a鈥� canail.

Alasdair: Oh tha fhios gl猫 mhath gu bheil iad a鈥� fuireach.

Mairianna: Agus a鈥� tilleadh.

Alasdair: A鈥� tilleadh air ais bliadhna thar bliadhna.

Mairianna: Tha.

Ailig: Saoil ciamar a bhiodh an eilean mura biodh na coigrich idir ann, is mura biodh iad a鈥� fuireach? D猫 se貌rsa eilean a bhiodh againn an uair sin?

Alasdair: Bhiodh e mar a bha e an d猫idh a鈥� chogaidh an sin. 鈥橲 e gl猫 bheag a bha a鈥� tighinn agus 鈥檚 e an fheadhainn a bha a鈥� tighinn, bha airgead aca. B鈥� urrainn dhaibh an uair sin a ph脿igheadh air a shon. An fheadhainn a tha a鈥� tighinn an-diugh, chan eil an t-airgead aca ach aig an aon 脿m, tha e a鈥� c貌rdadh riutha is tha iad a鈥� fuireach an seo. Tha taobhachd ris an eilean a tha seo, agus tha taobhachd ris na h-eileanan uile. Nuair a th猫id thu a-mach an-diugh, is mar a ch矛 thu mar a tha na h-Eileanan an Iar air fosgladh a-mach cuideachd air sg脿th gu bheil gnothaichean air tighinn air adhart.

Baile. Tha fios agaibh d猫 tha e a鈥� ciallachadh, nach eil? Baile 鈥� a village, town, city. 脌ite far a bheil daoine a鈥� fuireach fad na h-霉ine. Tha e cuideachd a鈥� ciallachadh 鈥榟ome鈥� no 鈥榝arm鈥�. Baile-fearainn 鈥� 鈥榓 land settlement no farm鈥�. Chan eil mi aig baile an-dr脿sta 鈥業鈥檓 not at home just now鈥�.

Mar as trice, bidh ainmean-脿ite le 鈥榖aile鈥� annta a鈥� t貌iseachadh le 鈥榖aile鈥�. Mar eisimpleir, Baile a鈥� Mhanaich ann am Beinn a鈥� Bhaoghla. Bha manach no manaich a鈥� fuireach ann. S矛os an rathad tha Baile nan Cailleach. Bha cailleachan-dubha 鈥� nuns 鈥� a鈥� fuireach ann. Ann am Beurla, 鈥檚 e Nunton a chanas daoine ri Baile nan Cailleach.

Le dreach na Beurla air, bidh 鈥榖aile鈥� a鈥� nochdadh mar Bal, Balla, Bally no eadhon Bella. Tha na h-ainmean cumanta ann am m貌ran sg矛rean. Tha gu le貌r dhiubh taobh a-muigh na G脿idhealtachd. Seo eisimpleirean bhon Ghalltachd far an robh G脿idhlig ann o shean. Balmalcolm ann am F矛obh. Sin Baile Maolchaluim 鈥楳alcolm鈥檚 farm鈥�. Balmuckety air Machair Aonghais. 鈥橲 e sin Baile Mucadaidh 鈥榯he settlement at the pig place鈥�. Ballantrae ann an Siorrachd Adhair 鈥� Baile na Tr脿gha 鈥榯he farm by the beach鈥�.

Agus tha eisimpleir inntinneach ann an D霉n Phris is Gall-Gh脿idhealaibh. Chan eil duine a鈥� fuireach anns a鈥� bhaile an-diugh. 鈥橲 e sin Belgaverie 鈥� Baile Geamhraidh 鈥� no mar a chanas a鈥� chuid mh貌r an-diugh Baile a鈥� Gheamhraidh 鈥榳inter farm鈥�. Tha mi an d霉il gun robh daoine a鈥� cumail spr猫idh an sin anns a鈥� gheamhradh. Mar sin leibh an-dr脿sta.
