Bha e a' sgrìobhadh ann am Binn Éadair, faisg air Baile Àtha Cliath ann an Èirinn.

Seo lèigh Latharna, Eòin MacDhòmhnaill Ó Conchubhair (a bha a’ sgrìobhadh tràth anns an 17mh Linn), agus e ag ràdh gur h-e fear nan droch litrichean a bh' ann. Tha sinne dhen bheachd gun robh e ro chruaidh air fhèin.

An do dh'òl thu cus a-raoir? A bheil do cheann goirt? A rèir a' chorpais againne tha thu "coirmthinn" (= "leann-tinn").

Drink too much last night? Feeling delicate today? According to our corpus you are "coirmthinn" (beer-sick).
