Abstract
This paper analyses binomial phrases in their various collocations in Early- Early Modern Irish and investigates the form and meaning of the most intimate collocations of antonyms, the dvandva compounds. The discussion is book-ended with a survey of the house in which Cú Chulainn was born, the house cen bratt cen biad, ‘with neither food nor shelter’.
