Note 35 — Chapter XII · Race in Folklore and Myth

Corrguinigh occurs in the story of ‘The Second Battle of Moytura,’ where Stokes has rendered it ‘sorcerers’ in the Revue Celtique, xii. 77; and corrguinacht heads an article in O’Davoren’s Glossary, published in Stokes’ Three Irish Glossaries, p. 63, where it is defined as beth for leth cois ⁊ for leth laimh ⁊ for leth suil ag denam na glaime dicinn, ‘to be on one foot and with one hand and one eye doing the glám dicenn.’ The glám dicenn was seemingly the special elaboration of the art of making pied de nez, which we have tragically illustrated in the case of Caier. ↑
