Bha mi a鈥� coimhead air seann duilleag聽ann am Mac-Talla. 鈥橲 e sin seann聽ph脿ipear-naidheachd. Bha Mac-Talla air聽fhoillseachadh ann an Alba Nuadh. Bha聽sin aig deireadh an naoidheamh linn聽deug agus toiseach an fhicheadamh linn.聽Air an duilleig bha briathrachas聽airson rothaidheachd. A bheil sibh a鈥櫬爐uigsinn an fhacail sin 鈥� rothaidheachd?聽Tha e a鈥� ciallachadh 鈥渃ycling鈥�. 鈥橲 d貌cha聽gur e baidhsagal a chanas sibh fh猫in聽airson 鈥渂icycle鈥�. Th脿inig am facal sin聽bhon Bheurla. Chan eil e ann am Faclair聽Dwelly.聽Ann an cuid de na faclairean聽G脿idhlig as 霉ire, tha rothair ann airson聽bicycle. Rothair 鈥� R-O-T-H-A-I-R. Ach聽ann an Dwelly, 鈥檚 e rothar 鈥� R-O-T-HA-R. Tha am facal st猫idhichte air roth,聽seann fhacal G脿idhlig airson cuibhle.聽Tha sin againn ann am barra-roth, a鈥櫬燝h脿idhlig air wheelbarrow. Co-dhi霉,聽ann an Dwelly, tha am facal Beurla聽bicycle ann d脿 thuras. Agus seo a鈥櫬燝h脿idhlig air a shon: rothar d脿-chuibhleach聽agus each-iarainn. Chan eil聽mi a鈥� smaoineachadh gun canadh duine聽鈥渆ach-iarainn鈥� an-diugh! Cuideachd ann聽an Dwelly tha rothar (cycle), rothar tr矛rothan聽(tricycle), rothaidhe (cyclist)聽agus rothaidheachd (cycling).聽Tha an t-alt ann am Mac-Talla a鈥櫬爐oirt dhuinn faclan co-cheangailte ri聽rothar. Seo cuid aca: cluas (handle); slat聽(handlebar); gabhal (fork). Agus d猫 a鈥櫬燝h脿idhlig a tha air 鈥渟poke of a wheel鈥�?聽Uill 鈥� ga, air a litreachadh G-A. Agus 鈥檚聽e bonn a tha aca air 鈥渢yre鈥�: bonn cruaidh聽(solid tyre), bolg-bhonn (pneumatic聽tyre). Tha bolg no balg a鈥� ciallachadh聽鈥渁ir tube鈥�. Ach c貌 chleachdadh bonn聽cruaidh air rothar an-diugh?Seo cuid eile de na faclan air an聽liosta: luasgan (spring); troighean聽(pedal), cn貌 (nut), deocan (valve),聽teannaire (pump) agus priocadh聽(puncture). Bidh sinn a鈥� cleachdadh cuid聽de na faclan sin fhathast. Ach, an 脿ite聽teannaire bidh daoine ag r脿dh pump. An聽脿ite priocadh canaidh iad toll.

I was looking at an old page in Mac-Talla. That鈥檚 an old newspaper. Mac-Talla was published in Nova Scotia.聽That was at the end of the 19th聽Century and beginning of the 20th聽Century.聽On the page was a vocabulary聽for rothaidheachd. Do you understand聽that word 鈥� rothaidheachd. It聽means 鈥渃ycling鈥�. Perhaps it鈥檚聽baidhsagal you say yourself for聽鈥渂icycle鈥�. That word came from聽English. It鈥檚 not in Dwelly鈥檚 dictionary.聽In some of the most recent Gaelic聽dictionaries, rothair is there for聽bicycle. Rothair 鈥� R-O-T-H-A-I-R.聽But in Dwelly, it鈥檚 rothar 鈥� R-O-T-HA-R. The word is based on roth an old聽Gaelic word for a wheel. We have that聽in barra-roth, the Gaelic for聽鈥渨heelbarrow鈥�. Anyway, in Dwelly,聽the English word bicycle appears聽twice. And here鈥檚 the Gaelic for it:聽rothar d脿-chuibhleach (鈥渢wo-wheeled聽cycle鈥�) and each-iarainn (鈥渋ron聽horse鈥�). I don鈥檛 think anyone would聽say 鈥渆ach-iarainn鈥� today! Also in聽Dwelly are rothar (cycle), rothar tr矛-rothan 聽(tricycle), rothaidhe (cyclist) 聽and rothaidheachd (cycling).聽The article in Mac-Talla gives us聽words connected to a bicycle. Here聽are some of them: cluas (handle); slat聽(handlebar); gabhal (fork). And聽what鈥檚 the Gaelic for the 鈥渟poke of a聽wheel鈥�? Well 鈥� ga, spelt G-A. And it鈥檚聽bonn they have for 鈥渢yre鈥�: bonn聽cruaidh (solid tyre), bolg-bhonn聽(pneumatic tyre). Bolg or balg means聽鈥渁ir tube鈥�. But who鈥檇 use a solid tyre聽on a bicycle today?!聽Here are some of the other words聽on the list: luasgan (spring); troighean聽(pedal), cn貌 (nut), deocan (valve),聽teannaire (pump) and priocadh (puncture).聽We still use some of those聽words. But instead of teannaire,聽people say pump. Instead of priocadh,聽they say toll.
