It also though gives us an insight into the Irish language as it was at the time.
podcast-host
Can you talk a bit about that?
podcast-host
Because again, it was something that surprised me because you know, y when when you see an omstone, it can seem so simplistic, but within that is a record of the Irish language as it was spoken fifteen, over fifteen hundred years ago.
podcast-host
And you already referenced the existence of Ohmstones in Britain.
podcast-host
And I think that'll surprise people again.
podcast-host
I you know, I suppose the greatest association with Olmstones is obviously Ireland.
podcast-host
But they are found, as I say, in Britain, particularly in Scotland and Wales.
podcast-host
Do we have any sense about their use in Britain?
podcast-host
How did the the script come to be used there?
podcast-host
And was it used in the same way?
podcast-host
Did it have the same, I suppose, function in terms of what we've talked about?
podcast-host
And it was interesting in again in something you you wrote just a reference that the only woman's name in uh in Ohm appears on a stone in Wales.
podcast-host
And I suppose maybe that highlights as much about Ireland as it does about Wales, the fact that women aren't being named on the stones in Ireland.
podcast-host
Do we have any idea w why or who that woman was that is preserved in Wales?
podcast-host
And again, is it hinting at maybe a slightly different use or um or is it a different type of society?
podcast-host
And then if we talk about I was gonna say the decline of Ohm, but what really interested me is how it actually continued over centuries and centuries and even millennia, and we'll get to that, but we can see a decline of sorts in the sixth and seventh century.
podcast-host
And you've already talked about like how we you know we we start to see manuscripts, but there is a transition as well.
podcast-host
Uh you know, there is s I guess the presence of Ohm
podcast-host
in certain manuscripts or in certain in certain places.
podcast-host
But does it essentially get phased out as as you get the introduction of the Latin alphabet on a more broad level in in Ireland?
