seanmhair

-ar, -airean, sf Grandmother. 2 Aged mother. 3 In some places applied to a brood sow. Am fear a dh'itheas a sheanmhair, faodaidh e a h-eanraich 'òl, he that eats his grandmother may sup her broth. When Farquhar the leech had tasted the “bree” of the serpent, his master, who knew that his apprentice now had his eyes opened to see the secrets of nature and his ears to understand the language of birds, threw the pan at him in wrath, crying, “Ma dh'ith thu an sùgh, ith an fheòil,” if you have supped the juice, eat the flesh — NGP.
