Brian Boromhe slain at the battle of Clontarf. {18} Fox's Court--perhaps London. {19} Drych y Prif Oesoedd, p. 100. {20} Y Greal, p. 279. {21} Hanes Crefydd Yn NGhymru. {22} Fear caoch: vir caecus. {23} Curses of this description, or evil prayers as they are called, are very common in the Irish language, and are frequently turned to terrible account by that most singular class or sect, the Irish mendicants. Several cases have occurred connected with these prayers, corresponding in many respects with the case detailed above. {24} Sanscrit, Kali, a hero. {25} Sanscrit, Rama, Ramana, a husband. {26} Romany chal, son of Rome, lad of Rome. Romany chi, daughter of Rome, girl of Rome. Chal, chiel, child, the Russian cheloviek, a man, and the Sanscrit Jana, to be born, are all kindred words. {27} For a clear and satisfactory account of this system see Owen's Welsh Grammar, p. 13. {28} Owen's Grammar, p. 40. {29} Pronounced vile or wile--here the principle of literal mutation is at work. {30} Lat. aurum, gold; _aer_is, of brass. Perhaps the true meaning of ara, aurum, &c., is unrefined metal; if so, we have the root of them all in our own word ore. {31} "The Eternal, the divine imperishable spirit pervading the universe."--_Wilson's Sanscrit Dictionary_, p. 453. The Nara is called by the Tartars soukdoun, and by the Chinese ki: "Principe qui est dans le ciel, sur la terre, dans l'homme, et dans toutes les choses materielles et immaterielles."--_Dictioinnaire Tartare Mantchou_, par Amyot.
