Gnìomhair Làthail – Feall

Today’s Daily Gaelic Verb is:

feall

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.
