(b) the expression céin-mair becomes stereotyped with the meaning long lives, hence happy, fortunate , folld. by nom. or dat., often a mere interjection: céinmair noda-ainsed happy he who should spare him, BDD 111. cénmair tír dianad buachail, RC xvii 173.19 (Tig., poem). cenmair tuaith dia ro genair blessed the race from which he sprang, SR 2736. cein-mair anmain dia ndichet, KMMisc. 212 § 5. cenmair hUlltaib, mairc Iarnaib, TBC-LL¹ 3424. Sometimes treated as a noun: cenmair i n-a ḟlaith prosperity in his reign, B. in Scáil 27 ( ZCP xiii 380 , iii 464 ). cen mo mair .i. cēn a cena [= Lat. coena], mair uita . . . .i. is fleth [= fled] mo betha, O'Mulc. 218. cenbe mair while life lasts (? bē = 3 s. subj. pres. of subst. vb.), Ériu i 122 z . — This expression must be distinguished from the advb. céin máir (acc. of cian már) a long time, for ever , see cían.

So also in abbreviated form in: ní ṡechnaim ’san Mide mar I will not avoid in Mide as long as I live Ériu xxi 145 § 10 . ni marthar lenn (.i. ni fil nech d'iarmorad ocunn) `there is no remaining with us' (= we have nought abiding?), ACC 11a ( RC xx 162 ).
