Woopsie, yep ar son would be better. "ar son iad siúd...". What do you think of that (and the overall piece)?
I feel like it'd become
ar a son siúd, but I do like that much better. Also, I feel like, given Irish's love for nouns instead of adjectives when it comes to addressing people, that there'd be a noun for 'the lonely', like as a group. Maybe
aonraic, which is mentioned in Dinneen (and on Wombat's list on IGT)?
Ar son na seanaonraic agus na aonraic óg, ar son na toicithe ocracha 'is na mbochtán ocrach, ar son na heasláin* sa gcorp, san intreann agus sa spiorad. Ar son an laige ionainn uilig
However, Gumbi, I still like yours, if we do the
ar a son. I just wanted to use Irish's propensity for nouns, and to look some up from Wombat's and Caoimhín's lists.
Please, someone correct any mistakes I made with the genitives/plurals/anything in the above.
I did think of making nouns of them, but figured it made part of the construction awkward.
Couple of suggestions for your piece. I think the second aonraic would have to be genitivised, I think it would be
Ar son na seanaonraic agus na n-aonraic óga. I think "óg" shouold be pluralised too. The word I use for "the poor" is na boicht, though bochtán may well be fine too.
Is intreann a dialectal spelling? (EDIT: LOL I just realised I wrote this myself, intinn it should be :P I was posting it on phone I think haha) Also, "ar son na laige" no?
