fothramh bodhar - a dull sound, a "deaf" nois tórnach bhodhar i bhfad ó bhaile - dull thunder afar off. an gleann bodhar - torann bodhar ag an uisce ag rith thar carraigeacha ann.
Seán bodhar - leas ainm ar fhear 'san áit. Thá mé bodhar agat. - you have made me deaf. Thá Síle agus mé féin bodhar ach tá sí níos bodhaire ná mise - ....she is deafer than I am.
