dual
-ail, -an, sm Due, hereditary right. 2 Duty. 3 Office. Bu dual dha sin, that was his birthright. — This is one of the most familiar and characteristic sayings in Gaeldom where belief in blood and hereditary tendencies and claims is exceptionally strong. It is difficult to translate literally, but might be paraphrased “that is what you might expect of his father and mother's son” — NGP. Esan don dual am bàs, he whose due is death; bu dual athar dhut sin, you inherited that from your father; mar bu dual dha, as was hereditary to him; nam b' e nach bu dual dha, if it were (or so happened) that it was not hereditary to him; mur b' e gum bu dual dha, were it not that it was hereditary to him; don dual gach cliù, to whom every praise is due.
