eathar
-air, -thraichean, sm [Always f. in Gairloch and the gen sing frequently eathrach — DU]. Generally used as the name for a small fishing boat in W. of Ross-shire, the word “bàta” being seldom heard there. 2** Skiff, barge, vessel. 3** Cup. Eathar iasgaich, a buss; eathar ùr is seana chreagan, a new boat and old rocks —suggestive of a thousand tragedies beyond the mere literal translation. Both rock and boat are personifications; the rock is old and cunning and unscrupulous, the boat is young and simple and unsuspicious and when the two come into collision, the boat goes down.
