Dolma n-aithisc for fer th’inaid do grés.

Dolma n-aithisc for fer th’inaid do grés.

(slowness * of speech * on * man * of your place * for * ever)

Hesitant speech on your successor forever!

This curse comes to us from the Leabhar Breac and is quoted in DIL s.v. “dolma”. For an example of the use of the “fir th’inaid” in a blessing, see “Sonus ocus degfhéth tria bithu d’fhir th’inaid do grés” in this collection.
