Examples
Edward wished much to know whether the currach was a horse, a cart, or a chaise.
However, it was called Currach Life from very early times, that is the marsh or swamp of the Liffy.
It is strange why it is called a curragh—more correctly, currach—for the word means a marsh, a place that stirs when trodden on.
