arsa
v defect Said, quoth. [The s of the Gaelic really belongs to the pronoun, “sé” or “sì”— ar sé, said he; ar sì, said she. ‡] This verb is never used with propriety, except in expressions corresponding to said I, said he &c. In the order of syntax, the nominative case never precedes this verb, not even by poetical license; this forms the distinction between it and the corresponding thubhairt. It is right to say “duine a thubhairt sin,” wrong to say “duine arsa sin,” a man who said that. Arsa an ceannaiche, said the buyer; arsa òighean nan aodann gràdhach, said the maids of the lovely visages.
