    Does anyone have a comprehensive list of possible mothúcáin that can come up in the Irish essay for the scéals?

    Like I'm not looking for a department syllabus type thing, just a list of mothucán in the Irish language would suffice ( if that makes sense)

    comhbhá= empathy

    diongbháilteacht= determination

    mórtas cine= pride

    cumha= capability/ ability ( not entirely sure)


    gráin/gráin dhearg = hatred and gráin dhearg is just more intense hatred


    searbhas, not sure about this one.

    Google translate said that but I wasn't sure if I should go with that. It's not really a mothucan
