Also ''dedlai'', 3 sg. fut. of ''dlongaid'' (?), ''fris-sil'', 3 sg. fut. of ''fris-slig'' if the interpretation of the text is sound. On the other hand, ''íach'' ‘salmon’ can hardly be very early, and suggest the late Old Irish or early Middle period. [...] Furthermore, we may note the word ''ocus'' in § 2. In early accentual verse there seems to be a tendency to avoid copulative conjunctions” (Carney).<ref>{{C|Carney 1971a|at=38, 39-40}}</ref>
