My last blog post was a translation of the earliest version of "The Death of Cú Roí," in which Cú Roí is called "ind ammait." The standard definition of ammait is "witch" or "hag." Today, I look at some of the different uses of ammait to describe witches and a number of supernatural beings, including the Morrígan herself and the Greek Furies, and consider how to translate this word when used of Cú Roí. #CelticStudies #Celtic #Mythology #Irish #Medieval #IrishLiterature https://ulstercycle.hcommons.org/2024/11/12/cu-roi-as-ammait-witch-hag/
