    Níl a fhios. Cum rud tú féin.
    Ná cum focal, ach abairtín bheag shnasta a dhéanann cur síos ar an rud.
    Rud éigin leis an bhfocal "drong" ann, b'fhéidir, nó an focal "coir".

    Focal.ie has "fearann feadhna" for gangland. I dont think feadhain has ever meant gangster and should be avoided.

    Sounds dreadful, doesn't it?
    Attempt at alliteration, but appalling result.
    I find the same true of much of the work appearing on focal.ie
    I wonder who produces it?
    Do you think cainteoirí dúchasacha are involved?

    I doubt it. It seems to be done very mechanically.
