Gnìomhair Làthail – Leig

Today’s Daily Gaelic Verb is:

leig

There are a number of things I like about this complex verb.

One example of its use in Dwelly’s was this:

Na leig a dhìth a’ Ghàidhlig” “Let not the Gaelic language die”

Dwelly’s Illustrated Gaelic to English Dictionary

One of the reasons I chose this verb was because I was looking for the equivalent of the English “relinquish” in Gaelic. This example was also given:

Leig mi dhìom mo dhreuchd.” “I relinquished my office.”

Dwelly’s Illustrated Gaelic to English Dictionary

Leig is another one of those multi-faceted verbs as you can see by the length of the entry given in the link above.
