Uaithne

In Irish mythology, Uaithne (Old Irish: Úaithne, pronounced [ˈuənʲə]) is Dagda's harp, or rather the Dagda's harper, according to a number of modern translators (cf. § Attestations).[3]

  1. ^ eDIL s.v. "7 úaithne"
  2. ^ eDIL s.v. "1 cruitt". "harper", example from Fraech: "Úaithne c.¤ in Dagdai"
  3. ^ The eDIL under Úaithne(7) gives "The name of the Dagda's harp" (based on TBFr.), [1] but this conflicts with its etnry under cruitt "harper" (citing Fraech).[2]
