brí

Gan bhrí, without substance or strength, null, without force or binding power. Sin brí an scéil, that is the gist of the matter. De bhrí de, whereas, so you see. De bhrí de nach dtáinig sé, because he did not come. Sin brí mo shiúil, that is why I have come. Fé bhrí do mhionna! Upon your oath! Chuir sé an t-iomlán acu fá bhrí na guidhe, he blamed (or praised) them all without exception. Dá bhrí sin, on that account. Chaill an fíon a bhrí, the wine has lost its strength, its essence. Is beag an bhrí dó é, it will not help him much.
