Why Irish Needs 32 Words for “Field” The language of a landscape where magic still lingers.

When he was 7, Manchán Magan found a leprechaun’s pipe in the garden.
That strange discovery opens a wonderful book about the Irish language — which has 32 different words for “field.”
I wrote about it in today’s newsletter: roncharles.substack.com/p/why-irish-...
