"Invictus" is a short Victorian poem by the English poet William Ernest Henley. The Latin "Invictus" means "unconquered" or "unconquerable". How would you express this in Irish?

Perhaps:

Dochloíte

Any other suggestions?

De Bhaldraithe has 'dochloite', 'dosháraithe' and 'dobhuailte' for 'unbeatable'. Also, 'ni raibh fear a bharrtha ann' - 'he was unbeatable'. I have no personal wisdom to impart. :mrgreen:
