beagán

I mbeagán focal, in a few words. Mar bhí sé ar bheagan céille, as he had but little sense. Mórán a riar le beagán, to make a little go round. Prov: ná bíodh do shúil le beagán, do not look for a portion of what is scarce, for small favours. A Bheagán nó a mhórán, more or less. An rud a ngoireann siad an beagán dó, what can be described as a little.
