Scottish Gaelic. Someone questioned the existence in RFD. --Dan Polansky (talk) 14:32, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I can't even verify the existence of by itself except as the genitive case of the archaic word, but it would make no sense for the first word of this phrase to be in the genitive. If it were inghean airson ìghne it would mean "a daughter for a daughter", but (1) that phrase doesn't make a lot of sense as a way of saying "an eye for an eye", and (2) even if you did want to say that, you'd probably use the modern words and say nighean airson nighne. I could believe ionga airson ingne "a nail for a nail", but I can't find that attested anywhere. What does seem to be attested is  and the short form . User:ÀrdRuadh21 hasn't been around in many months, but maybe he'll see this ping and tell us where he got this form from. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 15:53, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
