What does ráthaíocht mean in this "sentence"?
[Actually, I don't know if this would be considered a sentence, but it is one continuous line.]

Fearaimíd romhaibh fáilte, a chairde na páirte
fanaíg lámh linn tráth scéalta is ceoil,
eachtruithe is iontais á n-innsint go binn daoibh,
siansa ár sinnsir ag ráthaíocht go deo.

I understand everything else except for the word ráthaíocht. :??:

Hi, here I understand it to mean 'thriving' or 'prospering'.

I agree. :yes: I'd interpret it as a variation of rathú.
