bonn

Ó bhonn go bathais, from head to heel. Thug sé na bonnaí as, he made off. Bonn an ghunna, the butt of the gun. In áit na mbonn, on the spot. Ar na ceithre boinn, on all fours. B’éigean dó a bhaint as na bonnaí, he had to walk it. Sin an rud a chuir ar a bhonnaí é, that made him up. Bonn thrí bpínghinn, a threepenny bit. Bonn airgid, a silver coin. Tá a bhonn is a chíoradh air, he has his hands full, he has enough to worry about. Gan pínghinn gan bonn, without a red cent.
