"Beheading" original: aurba; a poetic technique involving the removal of a letter or syllable is done according to propriety, and anything else is not "be-heading" according to antiquity. There is another thing in this case too—the usual words at present are dochusin, mael, and senchas. According to the ancients, examples are found here; for the usual words with them were docuisinet, mael, and fencas. But the "head-changing" original: fortbe; a poetic technique involving the substitution of a leading letter at present is to make fencas out of the word senchas; for the usual form at present is senchas, as it is said:

"Fenachas": the example there is the use of f for s. "Beheading" and "head-changing" are performed similarly at the beginning or at the end of a word; however, it is only at the end of a word that "bi-heading" original: dichned; the loss of a final letter or syllable is usually made. We do not see among the poets of the Gaelic language original: Goedelic a different name for the reduction of a letter versus a syllable, as we do for the increase of a letter versus a syllable—that is, "bi-heading" for the increase of a letter, and "superabundance" original: formolad for the increase of a syllable.

THE GOD OF HEAVEN—MAY HE NOT ALLOW ME INTO THE HOST IN WHICH THERE IS CRYING ON ACCOUNT OF THE GREATNESS OF ITS SMOKE. For the manifestation of truth, the author says "God of heaven," or perhaps from his knowledge that He is not a God who is an idol. "May He not allow me into the host of the demons, among whom crying is heard because of the greatness of their smoke."
