(a) urine: gl. urina Ir. Gl. 222 . fual quasi fuil ar a dath, Corm. Y 643 . galar fúail, Thes. ii 248.11 . galar fuel, 250.13 . maigin hi tabair th'úal, 248.13 taber do fual, 250.16 . tuc in t-ech a fual, Dinds. 79 . Metr.

Tall. § 53 . crecta isin les ┐ ar slithib in fuail ' ulcers on the bladder and the urinary passages', Ériu x 148.3 . In wider sense : is and drecgais (tainic v.l.) a f.¤ fola for Meidb, TBC-LL¹ 6077 . Used as fertilizer : a dualgus ḟuail no thuair, Laws iii 48.26 Comm. (perhaps = excrements ). (Fig.) f.¤ .i. salchur, ut est ar us and teid fual fo trebaire in tan don athmongar cuir tar einaige (i.e. it is then a surety is disgraced), Laws v 506.12 (= f.¤ for t., ZCP iv 228 . O'Dav. 980 ). Cf. the expression : cacc for enech s.v. 1 enech, ainech. M. A. O'Brien's criticism ( Ériu xi 156 ) of Thurneysen's rendering in Bürgschaft 84 is unconvincing.

(b) water (foul water, a puddle ?) : f.¤ gach uisci edomain, Metr. Gl. 14 . f.¤ .i. usce domain, Lec. Gl. 528 (leg. édomain ?). f.¤ quasi bual .i. uisce ..., dochuadar ar n-asa i f.¤ .i. a mbual, Corm. Y 596 (see 1 búal ). Hence, prob. f.¤ .i. uisce, Stowe Gl. 380 . O'Cl. This definition is not supported by literature (with the very doubtful exception of the citation in Corm. Y 596 ) and is probably due to confusion with 1 búal ; but fúal may have originally had the wider sense, cf. fúalrad.

n f. orig. ī-stem, later guttural (g s. meinistri, Laws v 264.15 text. ? n p. meinistri, Triads 63 ). A box or case used to carry vessels and other insignia used in the Divine Service, or sometimes relics: sometimes transld. `service-set' or `credence-table'; it formed part of the travelling equipment of a saint or cleric in early times (< Low Lat. ministerium `sacrorum vasorum . . . congeries et apparatus' Ducange ). menstir, Thes. ii 241.17 ( Ardm. 18a2 ) = Trip. 344.21 . cuic primfethail cecha ec[ol]sa . . . .i. bachall ┐ menistir ┐ cros ┐ cloc ┐ catur (.i. soiscela), Trip. p. xxi ( Rawl.

For carrying the reserved Host: ros fucc somh o Bhairrai a m.¤ n-umha cona shacarfaic, BNnÉ 16.3 ; cf. tuillem baithis no menistrech, H 3.18 p. 19a ( O'Curry 53 ), which seems = t. bathais ┐ comnae, ib. g p. na cerdda oc denam na mmias ┐ na menistreach , Trip. 250.26 . ór . . . do chumdach minn ┐ mainisdrech (sic), Lism. L. 873. In: flaidh na teorai menistrech, ZCP ix 450.13 , we should prob. read mainistrech monasteries. In gen. sense of someth. sacred: trí meinistri fer Féne .i. cích, grúad, glún ` halidoms ', Triads 63 (but this seems m. pl., perh. an early instance of menistir < Lat. minister, see ministir).

As fictitious npr. f.: Pait ingen Cētbanna, Anecd. ii 56.7 .

pait quasi fu-áit .i. ait fuail ┐ dichned deridh fuil and, Corm. Y 1062 , is prob. a fanciful derivation of this word, cf. fual quasi bual .i. uisce, 596 ; hence O'Reilly's pait `a watering-place '.
