Oh sorry, in reply, "Oiche mhaith aon duine" was an attempt at translating "goodnight nobody", a weird and creepy line from the book!


Not so creepy if you think of it as "nobody (in particular)" or "everybody".

Maybe ". . . a dhuine ar bith (go háirithe)". Or ". . . a éinne [i.e. aon duine] . . ."

. . . maybe in Standardised Irish it is "a theach bhig".


I checked with a "non-standard" speaker from An Rinn and he said that sounds right to him as well as "a thigh bhig".


Thank you.
