[BAC1954]

Briathar also means a Judgment or a sentence. Breathamh is a Judge so tho' they are close, they are different.

Breitheamhnas tuaithe, is indeed the old Irish legal system.

Bring it back I say.

[BAC1954]

Breitheamh is not the Word , Briathar is the Word . Example, Bhi an Briather ann agus bhi an Briathar fara Dia agus b'e Dia an Briathar .

In principio erat Verbum et Verbum erat apud Deum,et Deus erat Verbum.

In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
