fathach

-aich, sm Giant, monster, genius. Fathach was invariably used in the old tales and through ignorance of grammar the fh has been dropped in many places and the gen with the article is used instead of the nom. — guth an fhathaich, the giant's voice, is thus erroneously written guth an athaich. The same thing has happened to many other words as, eagal, &c.
