Celtic Fairy Tales, II. Guleesh., sentence 5

I have also dropped a part of Guleesh's name: in the original he is "Guleesh na guss dhu," Guleesh of the black feet, because he never washed them; nothing turns on this in the present form of the story, but one cannot but suspect it was of importance in the original form.

Who acts: I, Nutt, nothing, story, Guleesh · What happens: drop, be, not wash, turn, suspect, name · To what, where: part, Guleesh, feet, this, original form, story
