creach

creiche, -an, sf Plunder, booty, pillage. 2 Ruin, devastation. 3‡‡ Host, army. 4† for creag. 5 rarely Wave. Mo chreach! mo chreach! my ruin, alas! and alas! cha tuig a' bhan-Leòdhasach a chreach gus an dig i chùm an dorais, the Lewiswoman never realizes her loss until it comes to her door — which shows the stolidity of the Lewiswoman. “Creach” is a stronger word than loss, but in this case at any rate, not quite so strong as ruin. Tha mo chreach-sa dèanta, I am done for, as good as dead; ag éigheach a chreach, shouting that she was ruined; a' togail na creiche, carrying away the plunder.
