<div><br>English "galore" (as in "books galore", i.e. "plenty of books") comes from Scots, and Scots derived it from Scottish Gaelic <i>gu leò(i)r</i> [gəˈlʲɔːr] 'plenty', 'sufficient', 'a lot' (cf. Irish <span lang="ga"><span title="Click for alternate translations"><i>leor</i>, Manx<i> </i></span></span><i>liooar</i>, Welsh<i> llawer</i><span lang="ga"><span title="Click for alternate translations"></span></span>).<br>

is that word put behind the object in Gaelic? I mean, in English one
would say "plenty books", but "books galore". Is that word order also
copied from Gaelic?<br>
