cineál

Níl acu dá cineál ach í, she is their only girl. An dá chineál (i) the two kinds, (ii) both sexes. An cineál cainte atá air! Will you listen to his nonsense! Cineál a dheanamh ar dhuine, to treat a person, to give him a gift or a present. Níor cheil sé a chineál orm, he did not pass me over – when he was giving his gifts. Is é a bhfuil de chineál againn é, it (glass etc.) is the only gift we have to offer. Teacht chun cineáil, (i) to grow, to develop properly, (ii) to relent. An cineal céanna éadaigh, the same kind of cloth(es). An cineal ceanna tobaca, the same brand of tobacco. D’imigh sé as cineál, he is most unlike the rest of his tribe. Talamh a thabhairt chun cineáil, to bring land to good crop-bearing soil. Fear de mo chineál féin, a man of my own class.
