Ad-rae búaid ocus bennachtain!
Ad-rae búaid ocus bennachtain!
(“take” * profit / victory * and * blessing)
Benefits and blessings to you!
This phrase is used repeatedly by St. Patrick and others, in “Acallam na Senórach” and other texts, as a blessing given in thanks or in greeting. In Modern Irish it takes the form “Beir bua agus beannacht” and is commonly used as a complimentary close in letters.
