This is one of the interesting Scottish Gaelic words I learnt from this blog post. Others include:
– Allabhuadhach = someone who is victorious, but in disgrace.
– Claidean = an absurd hammering at anything.
– Nigead = those little sobs or sighs you make before or after weeping.
– Atamaich = to fondle an unreasonable person.
Do similar words exist in any other languages?
