    Hi. Someone told me once that there is a specific adjective for 'tired' (tuirseach) which specifically means to be 'tired from artistic exertion'. At the time, he said the word but, enquire as I may now, no one seems to know. Did I dream this?!

    There are words for physical tiredness and mental tiredness and separate ones for work tiredness.
    'Spíonta' wouldn't be fully specific as to what you asked for but it would be in that general area.
