Cén t~ de dhuine é? What sort of a person is he? Níl a shamhail le fáil, there is nothing else quite like it. Níor chuala cluas ~ an cheoil sin, ear hath not heard anything to compare with that music. Nó rud den t~ sin, or some such thing. Ní théann ~ i bhfad, comparisons may not be carried too far, are odious. Slán an t~! Slán gach ~! A shamhail i gcloch! God save the mark! 2. Image, effigy, representation, model. ~ de rud a dhéanamh, to reproduce sth. 3. Phantom, spectre. Chonaic mé an t~ sa bhinn, I saw a ghostly figure in the rock. Is í an t~ í!
