Talk:I Am Stretched on Your Grave

Untitled
I'd like to have some source concerning the exact title of the mentioned 17th century Irish poem, since I only know the song under the title "Táim sínte ar do thuama". I'am not an expert at all of early modern irish, yet the phrase "táim shínte ar do h'uaigh" seems grammatically suspect to me and looks like a failed back-translation from english. 1. there's no apparent reason reason (known to me) why "sínte" should be lenited in this context and 2. I haven't yet noticed that any dialect would put an "h" before a vocal-initial word after a 2nd.pers.poss. pronoun.

but maybe I'm wrong, as I really am no expert on Irish poetry let alone the historical grammar of Irish.

I hope this can be clarified.
