: RINGCNE quasi ''quinque'': inde dixit Ferches (the poet) when Finn ua Baiscni was reckoning every pentad in succession of the hosts of MacCon, to seek the Fian of him i.e. Ferches (''e''). Then Ferches passed with fury (?) by Finn, and cast his spear at Lugaid so that he was dead, and he said Ringcne (quasi ''carincne) rus rig'' 'a little pentad is a king's reproach' (''f'') for this was what Finn used to say still when he was counting every pentad in turn. | |||
