GLAIGEIL, 150, Barra. [Loud talk as of garrulous females, all talking together. Nach ann aca a bha an glaigeil. A.J.]
Dwelly has glaigeilis for clattering.
The word reminded Màiri Thormoid of Fr Allan’s Pàrlamaid nan Cailleach – “when they make a big glag of laughter. They’re good at laughing in Eriskay, they’d laugh at anything, it doesn’t matter what!”
