(L.38)
roic ... fulachta / wrinkles from cleaning, scrubbing and cooking
i leaba... an fhátallaí farraige / instead of the tough leather of the sea forager
ag cur a goirteamais féin ina cuid fola"/ putting its own bitterness (saltiness) into her blood
agus a fobhairte féin ina cnámh"/ and its own lotion into her bone
ar theacht bhinnsceird na farraige dóibh / after coming "to the full exposure of the sea" (in the face of the raw reality of the sea)
sceird / bleak, windswept place
an ghaoth ghoirt / the bitter wind
cíléar / keeler (shallow tub)
ba mhó ab aite le Mairéad / what Mairéad would like most
dá gcaitheadh... i gcártaí / if he discarded
