The expression of “sense, meaning, signification” in the Old Irish glosses, and particularly in the Milan and Saint Gall glosses

This paper discusses several Old Irish words, two loanwords, séis, intliucht, and two native terms, cíall and inne, which are used to express “sense, meaning, signification” in two sets of Old Irish glosses. It argues that the sense of these words can only be properly grasped if the context of the base text is fully understood.
