I'd assume Gaedhilg > Gaedhealaing/Gaedhiling is an example of the opposite change.


So, perhaps it's a kind of hypercorrection?

I'd love to know how the guys who made the CO chose the forms they established as standard. Sometimes they chose forms that don't exist in any living dialect. Sometimes, forms that are the least used of all the Gaeltacht forms. Looks like they chose them at random.
To me, it would have been better if they chose one living dialect as the standard and that's all. And allow all living Gaeltacht forms in all uses except in "all-Ireland" texts, ie. stuff that would be read by people from everywhere.


Was Clare not a living Dialect back when they started making a standardized version ? All be it in steep decline.
