I'll see if I can squeeze in a bit of listening, but I don't have much internet access.

Hi Sonia,

I have added the title for part 1 of this chapter, and it's ready for spot PL.

You're right! That is Irish. But it's Old Irish (which I have studied!), and there is some disagreement among scholars about how to pronounce it. When the time comes, I'll send you a recording of the various phrases, and I'll make it as standardized as possible. A friend wants to give me a high qual...

Hi Sonia, Part 7 now ready for PL. Please note that I have added "Cuid a hAon", "Cuid a Dó" ("Part One," "Part Two," etc.) to the four subsections, which are actually four discrete stories, and this might not otherwise be clear to the reader. That is the only ...

I'll see what I can do about that clicking and then reupload next week.

Will stand by.

Hi Sonia, You'll find a slightly updated recording of "An Sagart agus an t-Easpag" ready for PL in the magic window. The opening seconds now read as follows: ["Section 1 of An Sgéaluidhe Gaedhealach, by Dubhglas Dehide. This LibriVox recording is in the public domain."] "Cui...

I took your advice and went with the short intro. File reuploaded for PL. hmm, did you say exactly what the short intro says ? :hmm: "Section 1 of An Sgéaluidhe Gaedhealach, by Dubhglas Dehide . This LibriVox recording is in the public domain." I think you did not mention the author's nam...
