gnóthaigh1, v.t. & i. 1. Work, labour. 2. Win, gain; earn, achieve. Duais, geall, a ghnóthú, to win a prize, a wager. Is beag a ghnóthaigh mé air, I gained little by it; it availed me little. Cad é a ghnóthaigh tú air sin? What good did that do you? Tá siad ag gnóthú go maith orainn, they are making well out of us. Níl mórán le gnóthú air, there is little profit in it; (of person) he is not much help. An rud a ghnóthaigh tú ó Dhia, what you obtained from God. Lit: Níor ghnóthaigh sé a bheag in Éirinn, he achieved nothing in Ireland. Lit: Cionnas a ghnóthaigh sibh? How did you get on? (In farewell phrase) Go ngnóthaí Dia duit, may God prosper you.
