It's been a while since we've had an installment of the Weird International Dictionary Series, so forthwith, I present MacBain's Dictionary, aka An Etymological Dictionary of the Gaelic Language, which was apparently "keyed in" by one Caoimhín P. Ó Donnaíle. To be specific, this is an html edition of a 1982 photo reprint of the 1911 2nd edition of a Gaelic dictionary originally published in 1896.

Somehow along the way all the words beginning with H, J, K, Q, V, W, X, Y and Z seem to have gone missing. Or perhaps Gaelic doesn't have any such words.
