    Context please.

    Words don't start "gc-" usually, so I'm guessing there's a word missing from that.

    As already mentioned, we need a full context. The impression I get is that you've transcribed it wrong, and that it might be "...i gcion air i gcónaí". But I can't be sure until you give us more information. There is no lone-standing, undeclined word such as "gcionair", in Irish.

    It is "coigir i gconai". Any ideas?

    You'd think a mod in literature would be able to give a context.
