Thirty-Two Words for Field
Thirty-Two Words for Field: Lost Words of the Irish Landscape | Manchn Magan
2 posts | 3 to read
The Irish language has thirty-two words for field. Among them are: Geamhar a field of corn-grass Tuar a field for cattle at night Ridhlen a field for games or dancing Cathairn a field with a fairy-dwelling in it The richness of a language closely tied to the natural landscape offered our ancestors a more magical way of seeing the world. Before we cast old words aside, let us consider the sublime beauty and profound oddness of the ancient tongue that has been spoken on this island for almost 3,000 years. In Thirty-Two Words for Field, Manchn Magan meditates on these words and the nuances of a way of life that is disappearing with them.

Next month author Manchán Magan is coming to Detroit with Arán & Im, his performance/installation where he bakes sourdough bread for 70 minutes while talking about Irish language – and this nerd positively can't 👏 wait.👏 I figured it was time to pull the tagged book off my TBR in anticipation, and the coincidence of starting it on St. Patrick's Day seemed too perfect. 💚🍀 #CurrentlyReading
