Orddan ocus tocad duit!

(honor * and * fortune * to you)

Honor and fortune to you!

Said by Lebarcham to Deirdriu in “Longes Macc nUislenn”, wishing her well. The similar expression “ordan ocus airechas duit” (honor and preeminence to you) is used to greet the king at the beginning of the tale “Inghen Ríg Ghréc” from LL, edited in “Silva Gadelica”.
