#Scottich

[ukfrislandembassy]

Stewart & Joseph (2009) present an interesting analysis of Scottish Gaelic where they propose the inflected prepositions should actually be analysed as case forms. They only talk about the person forms which I think is a shame because there are other inflections, in particular the definite and possessive forms, which I think help their overall point, but I'm already writing a paper on that so another time.

Relatedly, I wonder if taking a case-based analysis might actually be useful in the didactic context. This is because if you talk in terms of case rather than prepositions you have more of an incentive to talk about them individually and less of an assumption that the locational function consists of the primary semantics of the form. So you would have more licence to talk about the stative function of ann an as one of its primary usages (and therefore place front and centre its usage with stative verbs and in copular constructions), rather than as an afterthought of its supposedly core locational meaning 'in'. This is more relevant for some of these forms than others of course but that's no big issue (the Russian dative is also relatively specific in its usage relative to the other cases but that doesn't diminish its status as a case).

Note that this says nothing about how you actually analyse the system as is attested with native speakers (or as is attested in the corpus of recorded Gaelic from the previous couple of generations, which imho is the variety that ought to be being revived if you're aiming for continuity between Gaelic as revived and Gaelic as-was). Rather, it's about what a change in terminology does to the priorities of those designing didactic texts.

So me and my roommate were going shopping for s'mores ingredients, we pspspspspsd on our way back to see if there're any cats around and... Long story short....

behold. Oscar the Scottish fold.

#so we petted him and my roommate was like. wait that's a scottich fold? #and i was like. oh yeah it definitely is. maybe someone lost it? threw it to the street? we should take him home. #we gave him a shower #he purrs really loudly:3 #we'll take him to the vet's tomorrow to get any info about him. #uudhhdufjdjfjdjfhjf he's so precious and cute thoooo

After having read around 1100 pages (total of about 34 audiobook hours) of historical romances in little over a week, I can now tell you that Beverly Jenkins' Night song was decidedly the best (I can also tell you I won't self impose a reading marathon like that ever again)

#it's not perfect but man i laughed cried and just was so into it. also learned history the main couple is great they're sweet and #passionate and very respectful (ok there was a certain twist in the story that had me like nope sir but they do work it out and address it) #for the record all that reading amounted to only three books lol #the other two were lord of scoundrels by loretta chase which i did enjoy but it's a guilty pleasure #i had a laugh and tbh it was just FUN and stuff but oh boy does that book have issues #also the audiobook had my favorite narrator out of the three she made that just so good #and the other book was wild wicked scot (yeah i know) by julia london which was cheesy and not great and had #some issues but was mostly alright and kind of harmless read also it was average enough (not great not appalingly #bad) to serve to set the mood because that's the one i read first. props to the narrator because he actually made that scottich accent #decent like i couldn't actually read that in a page and take it seriously. tour service is appreciated sir #laura reads

Love how our kittens are like 7-8 weeks old but their personalities are already showing

One of them is also a mix of scottich fold and BENGAL and he is ultra energetic. Also he lived his entire tiny life in a apartment with humans but he is more "wild" that the other one lol.

We didn't know he is partially Bengal... We just picked the most "chill" kitten. How wrong we were...

Love both of them ofc. Little menaces with the loudest purrs

Where can you buy these fabrics today?

Sorry for lare response. Just saw this now. You can thrift them at local thrift shops. Ebay has them as well. If you want them brand new England, Scotland, Ireland has many sources. You can google scottich tweed or irish tweed aka donegal tweed my favorite. Things should pop up.

Sandra and I went for a decent walk, about 10 miles, to the lighthouse on the far side of the island.

The castle en-route has some family connection, but he was a bit of a shit and the castle needs quite a bit of work, so elected to leave it to the tender mercies if Scottich Heritage.

Without doubt, the highlight of the walk was the sea cliffs. Birds. Lots and lots of birds.
