comh-dhalta
-n, sm Foster brother. 2 Foster sister. 3 Highland cousin. Is caomh le fear a charaid ach 's e smior a' chridhe an comh-dhalta, dear is a kinsman but the pith of the heart is the foster brother (NGP); an uair a théid a' ghrian fodha, teichidh m' fhaileas, ach grian ann no ás, cha teich mo chomh-dhalta, when the sun sets, my shadow forsakes me but in shade or shine true is my foster brother. [Chieftains of the Gael were in the habit of fostering their heirs with such of their vassals as had a promising family of sons, in order that mutual attachment might secure fidelity and friendship in future years.
