cnámh

Cnámh an smiolagadáin, the collar-bon Cnámh droma, backbone. Níl ann ach na cnámha, he is worn to a shadow. Cnámh an tslinneáin, shoulder blade. Cnámh na scorróige, hip bone. Cnámh an ghéill, jaw-bone. Biadh a chuirfeas snámh ionnat, food that will build you up. Nuair a thiocfas cnámh ann, when he gets stronger. Ní maith leis cur ar an chnámh, he does not want to exert himself. Lom-chnámh na fírinne, the naked truth. Fear a bhfuil cnámh cothrom aige, a man of average build. Aicid na gcnámh, rheumatism. Níor chuir sé cnámh ann, he did not “put a tooth in it”. Ní leigfe sé a chnámh leis an mhadadh, he will hold his own. Rannfaidh mé a chámha ar a chéile, I will break every bone in his body. Nuair a chuaigh an chúis go cnámh na h-uilleann, when it came to the scratch; when the truth was discovered.
