124. Two ominous cries of ill-luck: boasting of your first slaughter,
and of your wife being with another man.
125. Three things betokening trouble: holding a plough-land in common,
performing feats together, alliance in marriage.
126. Three drops of a wedded woman: a drop of blood, a tear-drop, a drop
of sweat.
127. Three caldrons that are in every fort: the caldron of running, the
caldron _goriath_,[81] the caldron of guests.
[81] Quite obscure to me. There is a heavily glossed poem in H. 3. 18,
beginning _Coire goriath_. In H. 2. 15, p. 117^b, after the colophon to
Duil Laithne (Goid.,^2 p. 79), there are some further glosses, among
which I find: goiriath .i. gardhamh in gach iath, erma .i. uasal-iompu
no iar-iompa. But _erma_ seems the genitive of _erim_, 'a course.'
