Anyone ever heard of a claortom?

dory

Haigh, conas atá sibh?

I'm tryng to transcribe some Irish right now. Have it all done except for one word that is killing me. Sounds like 'tá sé ar chlaor tom'. In the picture he's on a ledge, holding a pillar, which could be a barrier. I've checked every possible word for these and can't find any that sound like claortom, and I don't want to write that in case it's wrong.

Aon smaointí agaibh?
Go raibh míle!

"Clord" is a word for ledge, but the tom is a puzzle.

Cén chanúint atá i gceist?

Gaeilge Uladh. D'fhéadfainn an clord a úsáid is docha. Go raibh míle!

Not so fast, I'm thinking it's "clár" with in canúint Uladh would sound more like "cla-or" as for "tom", wouldn't be "trom" or "tanaí" by any chance. I've never heard "clord" used to describe a ledge on a cliff the way you described it dory

Tá sé ar clár dom?

it is in store for me - plan - schedule ?

Is the person possibly planning to jump?

dory

It's a guy about to jump into the water, it's says he's on something. I'll just have to guess but the suggestions are great!

well if someone else is speaking then yes i would say it is about the ledge
if he was speaking i would say ''it is in store for me'' or the likes

Any way you can post up the pic, it's bugging the bejaysus out of me? The audio even better!

You legend!!!! Go raibh míle!!

Ceann eile agam duit. Tá ceann eile anseo, deir sé an focal 'tuigmháil'. Bheinn ag ceapadh gur 'teangmháil' atá i gceist ach níl oireann sin an chomhthéacs.

He uses it a lot, and it's as the word that would fit in it 'tuiscint'. Maybe I could just substitute it, but there are two of here hearing 'tuigmháil'.

I did not know I'd be dealing with the lovely Gaeilge ón dTuaisceart nuair a thóg mé an post seo!
