Texts
Bríatharogaim
Incoming data
A group of three short Old Irish texts enumerating kennings for Irish letter-names. Each of these is ascribed to a legendary or mythical figure: (A) Bríatharogam Morainn mic Moín, (B) Bríatharogam Maic ind Óc, and (C) Bríatharogam Con Culainn. The texts occur mainly in the Ogam tract: A and B are found in the body of that text, while all three are also appended to the copies of NLI G 53 and TCD 1337.
