An tOllamh Tomas de Bhaldraithe, RIP

[Andrew Carnie]

Hi All,

I just read some sad news on Gaelic-L. The famous Irish linguist
Tomas de Bhaldraithe, passed away a few days ago. Prof. de Bhaldraithe,
was one of the foremost Lexicographers of Irish, being the main
editor of the Irish-English dictionary that many of us use each day.
He also wrote the very important phonological and morphological grammars
of Cois Fhairrge Irish, published by DIAS. He will be missed by
Celticists everywhere.

Best,

Andrew
