Scottish Gaelic: 6. beer
I cannot find this on Am Faclair Beag, and neither can I verify it with native or fluent speakers. This will probably need removal unless the sense can be proven satisfactorily. –Konanen (talk) 13:01, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

Pinging @Embryomystic, who added this sense. I wonder if there wasn't some confusion going on with cuirm, which means 'beer' in Old Irish and used to mean that in ScG as well (but no longer does). —Mahāgaja · talk 13:13, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

That may indeed be where Dwelly got it from. I don't generally add definitions solely based on Dwelly anymore; there seem to be a lot of errors like this. Potentially thanks to half-literate native speakers conflating separate words based on similar pronunciation, or maybe the error lies with Dwelly himself. Anyway, this definition may as well be removed. embryomystic (talk) 22:32, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

Done. –Konanen (talk) 12:39, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
