Celtic Fairy Tales, X. Munachar and Manachar., sentence 14

It has, however, been shown that this does not occur in early MSS. or editions, and was only added at the end to amuse the children after the service, and was therefore only a translation or adaptation of a current German form of the jingle; (2) M. Basset, in the _Revue des Traditions populaires_, 1890, t. v. p. 549, has suggested that it is a survival of the old Greek custom at the sacrifice of the Bouphonia for the priest to contend that _he_ had not slain the sacred beast, the axe declares that the handle did it, the handle transfers the guilt further, and so on.

Who acts: arriero, this, 2 Basset, axe, handle · What happens: have, show, not occur, add, amuse, be · To what, where: early MSS, end, children, translation, v. p., survival · Speech: someone speaks here
