Thoroughly enjoyed this years @harvard Celtic Colloquium, and having the chance to discuss issues of translation in Old Irish poetry.

And to close the day, professor Elisa Roma’s keynote is on the Old Irish Component in the Pavia Verbs Database.

And in the main event of the day, the MOLOR team discuss Linked Data and Inflectional Morphology—Showcasing the MOLOR Lemma Bank, Paralex, and PrinParLat.

The opening talk of the closing event; @padraicmoran.bsky.social gave a fantastic overview of Digital Infrastructure for the Study of Old Irish Manuscript Glosses

IS acher ingaíth innocht fufuasna fairggae findḟolt

Old Irish poem (circa 9th century)

Gaib do chuil isin charcair ni róis chluim na colcaid
truag insin amail bachal rot giuil indṡrathar dodcaid

Take your place in the prison with neither fell nor feathers;
wretched it is, bishop-servant, bound to your bedding in tethers

Don't you banter with me you little bollix! Just give me the solution so I can pretend I never had to deal with this in the first place! 😤

As a follow up, Guinness sponsor the Cork Jazz fest, and also include some ogham on their street advertising for the event.

Druids cider have recently changed their branding to include ogham too.

Ogham seems to be very popular with brewers and distillers at the moment. I saw this on the shelves only last week. Oats in whiskey appears to be something of a recent trend, but they also utilise the supplementary íphin letter, for a reason I couldn’t quite discern.

Some light power-outage reading is on the cards for tonight. 🤣

Right, I’m clocking out for 2024.

Athbhliain fé mhaise daoibh!
