baile

An bhfuil sé féin fá bhaile? is he at home himself? As baile, absent from home. De chóir baile, nearhand. Dul chun an bhaile, to go home. Thug sé chun an bhaile me, he took me home. Thug sé leis chun an bhaile me, he brought me to his own house. Ní tháinig sé chun an bhaile chuige, he has no right to do (say it). I bhfad ó bhaile, far from home, far afield. Níl baile ná áit aige, he has neither house nor home. Tá an baile ag caint air, he is the talk of the townland. Baile cuain, a seaport town.
