So Redg 4came forward to where Cuchulain was and4 asked for the little javelin, but Cuchulain did not give him the little javelin 5at once5; he did not deem it good and proper to yield it. 6"Give me thy spear," said the jester. "Nay then, I will not," answered Cuchulain; "but I will give thee treasure." "I will not take it," said the jester. Then he wounded the jester because he would not accept from him what he had offered him.6 Redg declared he would deprive Cuchulain of his honour 7unless he got the little javelin.7 Thereupon Cuchulain hurled the javelin at him, so that it struck him in the nape of the neckb and fell out through his mouth on the ground. And the only words Redg uttered were these, "This precious gift is readily W. 2072. ours," and his soul separated from his body at the ford. Therefrom that ford is ever since called Ath Solom Shet ('Ford of the Ready Treasure'). And the copper of the javelin was thrown into the river. Hence is Uman-Sruth ('Copperstream') ever after.
