fágann siad an cliabhán ach amháin nuair a bhíonn an aimsir te sa samhradh no in aon trat eile d’en bliadain.
Deirtear nach ceart uisge na gcos a caitheamh amach san oidhche. Ní deanthar aon usáidhear de.
Tá gréasaidhe amhain sa gceanntar seo agus deanann agus deisigheann se bróga. Riobáird Mac Giolla Pádrtaig is ainm dhó. Bhí a cheap sinnsear ina ngriasuidthe. Sé an t-aon gréasaidhe amháin sa gceanntar é. Bhí go leor aca ann fadó. Caithti brógha bonn adhmaid san ait seo fadó agus caithtear go foil iad . Ní leasuightí leathar san gceanntar seo fada agus ní deantar anois é acht an oiread. Ní chuirtí piosa de croiceann ainmhidhte timcheall na gcos fadó ins an áit seo.

an leónadh é go bhfuigheadh an leónadh biseach. Snáithe leónta tugtaí ar an snáth seo. Go minic nuair nach mbíonn an snáithe leónta le fághail beirti greim ar an mball leónta agus le gach tarraingt a bainti as d’abruigheadh an duine a bheadh ghá tharraingt “An leon é seo”? Ní headh acht gortughadh a deireadh an duine tinn. “Caith i bpoll móna a deireann an duine a bhionn ghá tharraingt”. Deantar é seo tri huaire i ndiaidh a chéile agus deirtear go bhfághann an leónadh biseach annsin.
“Sailíní siar”- seo má bhionn sálaí móra ort agus iad ag dul siar an fhada nó gan iad a bheith cothróm síos le do cholpaibh.
