Well, wasn’t that episode something? From a story standpoint, it was quite the adaptation and I can’t wait to hear all the opinions (of which I am sure there will be many and varied). From a Gaelic standpoint though, episode 112 was a gold mine and we had the most Gaelic since episode 105 – Rent. Hopefully many of you are starting to recognize several of these words and phrases, as we have encountered them in previous episodes! Consider this a test and see how well you do.

I think I caught most, if not absolutely all, of the Gaelic and I only had to consult the oracle in two places. I call that success!

Also, I want to point out yet again how much outstanding work has gone into this accurate portrayal of Gaelic in Outlander by Àdhamh, Sam, Laura and the rest of the cast! I’m not sure there has every been anything like it attempted, certainly not by an American production.

Jamie says something after resurfacing from the mill-pond, but I can’t tell if it’s Gaelic or not.

Th’anail dith beo a-nist-  I need breath to live now (Mòran taing to @ColoGaelic for this one)

OK. Have heard from Àdhamh on this one. Although he doesn’t remember exactly what the dialogue is, he’s pretty sure it’s not the above and might be this (now confirmed):

an ainm an fhaigh – in the name of the prophet

51:36 Jamie comforting Jenny

Please note that there is every chance that the grammar in the above is not completely accurate. Keep in mind I am still very much a newbie with the Gaelic. 😉

P.S. Someone pointed out the Gaelic on Brian Fraser’s tombstone. I’ll work on that and get an update out when I have it confirmed.

P.P.S Thanks to Dàibhidh for kindly helping with some of my grammatical mistakes.
