Some languages have their prepositions after the noun - I wondered what they are called so I then discovered postpositions and circumpositions (after and around the noun). Even in English there are occasional use of these like 'from now on'
Congrats on the Dùn Èideann gig! I'm no' Scottish laddie, but I love the Gàidhlig - it's a really great language (I finished the duolingo course which currently only goes up to a 60 rating). I have been to Scotland once for a few days (stayed in Edinburg and GlenCoe). I expect interesting RobWords from you after your trip!
I dare say I shall record something while I’m up there. Perhaps about Scots, rather than Gaelic. I’ll wait for a trip to the Western Isles for that one.
There's a third in that family: grimoire. Same word as 'grammaire' really, a grammar book, but those were all in Latin and full of learning ordinary folk couldn't follow, so the name came to mean a book of magic. Grammar, glamour, grimoire.

Lovely stuff.

Any plans to bring your show to the US?
I am looking into how I can make this happen.
👏❤️
Oh my stars, the Fringe??? Congratulations, that’s amazing! I wish I could be there!
I'll try to tour at some point. Maybe I'll find somewhere near you.

Lucubrate I got right because it made me think of lycanthrope. Is there any night-focused relationship between the two?
