Talk:Séamusach

RFV discussion: June–September 2017
The usual Irish word for Jacobite is. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 09:19, 2 June 2017 (UTC) From wikipedia's version history: Irish "Seacaibíteachas" and Scottish "Seumasach" were added on 26th February 2012 in wikipedia, without reference or explanation. On 31th March 2012 the Scottish got changed into "Seumasachas" with the explanation "Seumasach is a Jacobite, Seumasachas is Jacobitism". Scottish "Na Seumasaich" was added on 17th December 2015 in the table. On 2nd May 2016 Irish "Na Séamusaigh" and on 12th May 2016 Irish "Séamusachas" got added without source or explanation. -84.161.56.19 07:59, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
 * This could be an older word, used at the time? —CodeCat 19:44, 3 June 2017 (UTC)
 * w:Jacobitism has "Séamusachas" and "Séamusaigh". Could they be the Scottish terms "Seumasachas" and "Seumasaich" converted into Irish? -84.161.43.111 08:46, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it's eminently plausible, but is it attested? —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 13:22, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Google's only results for Séamusach, Séamusaigh, Seamusach, Seamusaigh are wikipedia, wiktionary and wiki clones (including glosbe.com/ga/en/S%C3%A9amusach see glosbe.com/partners). The term "Séamusach" or "Séamusaigh" could occur in an old document or an old book, but it seems to be more likely that the term got added to wikipedia based on the Scottish term, then to wiktionary and was copied elsewhere. The Irish term could be Séamus + -ach while the Scottish could be Seumas + -ach.
