Today’s Daily Gaelic Verb is:
This is the first of the irregular verbs I have done since restarting the Daily Gaelic verb. It is also a complex one as it can have the meaning of “give” or “take” depending on the context. It also has a number of uses idiomatically. The link to see those is included.

The 29th and 30th days are subject to the sighting of the New Moon. If the New Moon is seen that is the 1st day of the new lunar calendar. Otherwise days 29 and 30 follow this calendar and then the new lunar calendar starts again beginning with Day 1.
I also would like to point out that these dates are worked out from my own personal observances which will depend on the location I’m at when the lunar cycle renews itself and the weather and landscapes obscuring the visibility of the heavenly bodies. If the moon is not visible the counting of days becomes the basis of this calendar. If it subsequently becomes visible on the 2nd or 3rd day or later, this count will not be adjusted until the next available potential observation of the new moon. This is why I give all the dates for the cycle at the beginning of the cycle as they will not be altered.

This verb can be used in the sense of “to deceive” or “to betray”. So when personified as feallair it means “traitor”. Also interestingly this is the name in Gaelic for Water Hemlock. Dwelly’s has a nice illustration of the plant and supplies us with the scientific name as well, Cicuta virosa, just for added clarity. These are helpful as it is a highly poisonous plant and can be easily confused for other edible species that are found in the same family of plants such as wild carrot.
