Á bhí go leor miosúir acu lena aghaidh sin bhíodh
They had many measures against that.
Ba é a samhlaíocht féin.
It was his own imagination..
Ní raibh an chuid is mó den de na de na daoine seo ní raibh focal léine na bloic.
Most of these people didn't have a word of the block language.
Ach níorbh fhéidir a gcur amach i dtaobh gnóthaí miosúir.
But it was not possible to expel them on account of matters of measurement.
'Siad a raibh an léann orthu.
They were the ones who had the learning..
Ba iad nuair a bhíodh siad ag déanamh achar báid ná corraí.
They were when they used to be making a distance by boat or rowing..
Dhá léir sin dhá léir a gcuid.
Two clear that two clear their share..
Dhá gcuid miosúir féin bhí a gcuid miosúir féin ag 'chuile cheann de na saothraí sin.
Each of those tasks had its own set of measures.
Agus ba shin é an rud a bhí ag cur an difir.
And that was the thing that was making the difference.
Idir an locht agus an siúl
Between the fault and the walking.
Abair leis an lucht lucht mhóna anois abair bheifí ag cuimhneamh ar ar ar bhád agus mar sin ach bhíodh lucht nó bhíodh miosúr eile acu ansin an crib.
Tell the turf people now, say they would be thinking of their boat and so on, but the people used to have or they used to have another measure then, the crib.
