Found this floating on the internet and thought I'd have a go at deciphering it:

Quote:
ni leadrainn ach fuil is an domhan a chol cheathrair

(I know I shouldn't pick up random bits of crap off the net, but I couldn't resist the challenge. :twisted: )

First, it isn't Googletrash because you can usually dump it back in and re-Google-itate is to the original.

But if we were to tweak some spelling a bit:

Níl eadrainn ach fuil ins an domhan, a chol cheathrair

We might get someone's attempt at "There is only blood between us in the world, cousin." That is, "Blood is all we got, cousin."

Give or take a grammatical error or two. ;)

It did not take a lot of tweaking to get it there so it's likely to be correct, I'd say. :yes:
