Seanfhocal
De Réir a chéile a déantar an caislean.
By degrees the castle is built, or
Rome wasn't built in a day.
A Chairde,
Formal Irish-language names consist, in general, of a forename (thúsainm) and a surname (sloinne). I have read that from an historical perspective, formal middle names were not used much in Ireland. As with all else that practice has likely been changing.. Among European peoples, the Irish were one of the earliest people to adopt formal surnames. In general, while some were in use prior to the year 1000, formal hereditary surnames, more or less as we know them, came into use in Ireland in the eleventh century. At first having a formal hereditary surname became fashionable among the nobility to whom a documented genealogical heritage was important.
At some point in pre-history the practice of differentiating between two individuals with the same name by an epithet or nickname was adopted to reduce confusion.

A Chairde,
This is the first edition of a revised series of nuachtlitreacha (newsletters) that le cúnamh Dé (with the help of God) will become a series of blogs on this website. The concept was derived in part from a website called Transparent Language that contains a blog. Here is the link to the Irish version: http://www.transparent.com/irish/?link=tagcloud. To some extent this series will build upon prior blogs so it will be helpful in understanding to read them in the order published. However, at least intially the level of Irish is not extensive. So with the help of a dictionary and the translations provided the order they are read in is not an absolute necessity. Since there are a number of newsletters a number will be posted in quick succession and then when caught up they will be posted on a weekly or bi-weekly basis as time permits. The intent is to gradually increase the level of content as Gaeilge. To start I am sending along a few websites that may be of interest. The first is that of the Conradh na Gaeilge Shanasa Nua (http://www.gaeilge.org/) is in New Hampshire. Daltaí na Gaeilge (Students of Irish - http://www.daltai.com/home.htm) is located in New York and they have an interesting site which includes more than just seanfhocail (proverbs, old sayings or literally old words).
