Thanks to Veronica for the comment below about the aggravatingly untranslated phrase an litir bheag.

The LearnGaelic site with that phrase suggested, per Ronald Black in The Gaelic Otherworld, silverweed as the seventh bread after the first through sixth oat, barley, rye, pease, wheaten and ginger breads.

Would the above-mentioned breads still be popular and practical in the British Isles today?

Plants may get renamed in the sense of changing from one genus to another or from one species to another.

Might there be any rule about changing the species name if the genus name changes? In other words, would a genus change automatically provoke a decision as to whether or not to keep the species name the same or to change it?

Your wizzleys/wizzlies mention prose writing, such as your short stories and your unrealized novel about Pontius Pilate. You released a Brexit-related wizzley with a poem.

Would poetic reading and writing interest you less than, more than, the same as prose reading and writing?

So the bodies and the heads of criminals did not decompose into the next-world afterlife together.

Is there a Christian tradition about how such a situation imports for the next-world afterlife?

The phrase "local council" intrigues me. Is it a community center that interests itself in its surrounding neighborhood?

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question.

That a "thriving" business rents a site intrigues me. Was the site greenhouses-ready or would Medwyn's have built them to their liking?

Potassium acts as a major nutrient in soil fertilizers. Is it applied alone or with other organic-obtained nutrients?

The computer crashed before I commenced another component of my comment below.

The pathway material looks different from the material afront Hylands house and park.

Might that path material be hard-packed soil or some earthy-looking pavement?

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question.

Sometimes I mow the tall grass so that it moves downward into natural grassy pathways. That grass nestles nicely above the bare ground even as snakes sometimes nestle there too. So I instead observe bare-ground pathways by removing the long grass.

Might snakes occur around, atop, under weed matting in the eastern-pond lands?

Daughter or maiden strikes me as the most likely, as why would anyone want to name a castle after a very ordinary flower.

The southern Hebrides and part of the North West

It could happen, but chicory is not a really popular plant.

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question.

This summer is a bit strange, with no wineberries even as they leafed and sparsest brambleberries, fireflies and wild onioin.

Fortunately, beautiful chicory manifested in many yard niches even as wild blue, purple and white violets mattered throughout the box elder-, eastern white pine- and silver maple-shaded garden.

Might you British Isles-ers have had -- like me ;-D -- many, many chicories and violets this summer?

What parts domiciled Scots Gaelic?
