Reply To: The Spoon of the Breast?

[DowrgiParticipant]

Hello Keziah,

The original text, Bretha (2A) has clais ochta the “hollow of the breast” lit. “spoon of the breast”, which Binchy’s article indicates as the supracrestal fossa or, in less technical terminology, the cavity of the throat. There is also a discussion of whether the twelve doors or portals are of the soul or life, in terms of the nuances of the Irish word anim.
