We hear Jack Gell with another part of Pargys Caillit, that was to be heard in 'Traa dy Liooar'. It's Fiona McArdle who presents 'Shiaght Laa' this time. We have a short lesson in 'Goll as Gaccan' about verbs that begin with a vowel. In the old tongue they were saying 'I am at doing' ('I am a-doing'), but that's absent now, apart from in verbs that begin with a vowel, in which there's a 'g-' to be found at the start of the verb itself. Phil gives us some examples. David Fisher reads out more extracts from The Voyage of Odin's Raven by George Kneale. And, seeing as the first day of March is dedicated to the patron saint of Wales, in 'Claare ny Gael' we hear about a Welshman who wrote two booklets in the Manx language which were published by Yn Cheshaght Ghailckagh.
