Ok, I’ve checked it and wondering what your correction is?
I am sure I got all the endings correct, noun and verb.
Wouod you have used a different verb to ‘fuit’?
That’s not what we were talking about?
Quoting an expansionist empire proves my point.
People have armed themselves throughout history, even if just to protect themselves from non-human predators.
It doesn’t folow from this that we should give right-wing imperial governments a trillion euro from social programs to go fight Arabs and Africans.
You’ve got to analyse each situation. You can’t say, “There has been inequality throughout history, therefore we should cut taxes for the rich”. You can’t say, “There has been weapons throughout history, therefore we should cut social spending to give the UK a new aircraft carrier”
I didn’t use google in years
I should have ‘quando’ in place of ‘quae’
“The demise of the Soviet Union was the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century.” Vladimir Putin
That’s reasonable. Most people believe that.
The alternative is a deeper Russian invasion of Europe.
Oh come on, they failed in three years of trying to invade even half of a country with a smaller GDP than Greece. I’m not gonna be persuaded to support sending nearly a trillion euro to right-wing militaries by that. We both know they’ll use it to project power to the Middle East and Africa.
I might read your links after the Madrid derby finishes up.

1·3 days agostatistics ≠ real life
They have a desire to bring back the USSR
How did you come to this conclusion? I don’t see how anyone could realistically believe that.
P.S. I didn’t say what the alternative is because it is bloody obvious. Obvious to me, to Ukraine, to the USA, to the world leaders, and to Russia, but not you.
Your whole point is “we need to take up arms because of the alternative”… but you’re not saying what it is so nobody can possibly be convinced by your prematurely aborted line-of-reasoning.
von de Leyen raised the figure of €850 billion. The money could house 6,500,000 families.
Do you believe that the arms will be used to A) defend the homelands, or B) do things like this and this?

€850 billion could build more than six million gaffs
This is like an indigenous creation myth
What’s her qualifications/background?
There’s so much bullshit talked about the Mór-ríoġna that my first instinct is to be sceptical. How do we know this isn’t another Robert Graves?
PS: your link says “Stephanie Woodfield (Brookfield, CT) has been a practicing Witch for over fourteen years and a Priestess for ten years. Her lifelong love of Irish mythology led to a close study of Celtic Witchcraft. A natural clairvoyant and empath, she has worked as a tarot card reader and is ordained as a minister with the Universal Life Church.”
I’m not NECESSARILY against yanks studying our paganism (e.g. Erynn Rowan Laurie writes very competently and respectfully on it), but this woman doesn’t seem to have any history/linguistic/anthro qualifications either (she’d’ve said it in her author bio if she did)
Anyway I found it on Annas-Archive, I’ll have a look and give you my thoughts after the workday if I get time. Bad first impressions.
PPS: Flicked to the ‘pronunciation guide’ at the back and there’s a few mistakes but it’s not as bad as I feared.
Cailleach (ky-lee-ACK)– why is the C velarised if it’s broad??Fir Bolg (FEER-bolg)– at least transliterate itFEER-bulg…Morrigan (MORE-ee-gan)– at least she got the first vowel correct (yanks on youtube don’t) but she hasn’t softened the G…Ogham (OH-gum or OH-um)– it’s clear she doesn’t speak the language
You will be deported from Ireland for putting the water in first.
