Etymology[edit]
Literally, “fire of (the) girdle”. Dinneen[5] and Ó Dónaill[6] treat the chreasa of this term as distinct from the genitive of crios (“belt, girdle”), but DIL suggests either “fire carried in the girdle” or “fire obtained by circular friction” as the literal meaning.[7]
Pronunciation[edit]
Noun[edit]
tine chreasa f (genitive singular tine creasa, nominative plural tinte creasa)
- spark from flint or another stone
- the fire arising from such a spark
- Bhain cruite na gcapall tine chreasa as na clocha.
