ach

Dheabhal néall a tháinic orm féin i gcaitheamh na hoídhche ach ar an gcathaoir (46) I slept no wink during the night but (I remained in the chair) . Ní bhíodh acub fadó ach ag cráigáil go Gaillimh (2), they had no transport in the old days but (they used to have to) walk to Galway. Ní raibh mórán agam ach imeacht ag tomsacht anonn is anall (4) I hadn't much but (had to) go about collecting here and there.
