Anam Gaiscígh Warrior's Soul
Cód Mórálta Gaiscígh Warrior's Code

The second literally means "Warrior's moral code". I specified "moral" in it, as I was forced to use a loan word (cód) so as to be clear. Wait fore more suggestions/confirmation.

We might be able to get around the loan word by saying "Creideamh Gaiscígh" (Warrior's Faith/Belief), maybe?

I would suggest also for "Warrior's code"...Laochais

Tá an laochais ag baint leis...."Warriorism"..or something like that. there are a few programs on tg4 like "Laochra Gael" etc that are about men and women who excelled in sport but in the context of the warrior tales of long ago

Laoch na himeartha---the warrior of play or man/woman of the match. Is it MVP or something stateside?

I am planning on using it for my top rocker on motorcycle vest. Thank you for all the input.

You may be over-thinking the loan word cód, Gumbi. :dhera: I think cód goes back a fair way in the meaning of "pledge, assurance" and further still as a "codex". Thus, I don't think Cód Gaiscígh is outside the spirit of the English.

That's a nice idea, too, Rossaí. A kind of Irish 武士道 (BUSHIDO). ;)

Dinneen has Laochas as the nominative and Laochais as the genitive.

Well, if it's for a top-rocker I would recommend just using the word Laoch – warrior, hero

I presumed it was a loan-word, GRMA.
