cliú

Is mor an chliú dó é, he deserves great praise for it. Ní cliú ar bith dó é, it will not enhance his reputation. Chuir mise a gcliú leo, I told them “where they got off”. Prov: An té chailleas a chliú caillidh sé a náire, lose your good name and you lose your sense of shame. Tá droch-chliú air, he has a bad name. Sin an chliú fir a b’fhearr a fuair sé riamh, that crowned his reputation.
