der

This sentence is translated in Campbell's West Highland Tales “It is too big for a crow and too little for land.” Gaelic Names of Beasts by Alex Forbes gives a modern application of this saying from personal experience, which make the meaning clearer and as he narrowly escaped with his life on the occasion, the word and their application are indelibly fixed in his memory. When out fishing in the Sound of Sleat in his youth and overtaken by a storm, an old fisherman who was at the helm told the boys who were rowing to keep a sharp lookout for land, as the evening twilight was fast failing. One of the latter suddenly cried out “Chì mi feannagan a Néill! Tha sinn faisg air a' Chill bhig.” After taking a deliberate survey (no easy matter in the circumstances), Niall replied “Chan eil fhios 'am an e, 'illean, tha e ro mhór de dh'fheannag agus ro bheag do dh'fhearran ach dh'fhaodadh gur e an t-eilean mór a th' ann,” (I don't know, boys, it seems too big for a rig and too small for the land but perhaps it's the large island.) - which it was.

Arsa an seòladair ann a' chrannaig - “Tha e ro mhór do fheannaig agus ro bheag do fhearainn”.

Quoth the sailor in the cross-trees - “It is too much for a rig and too little for a lot”.
