The High King heard the case and made a judgment, which was – I will say it in Irish first – do gach bó a lao, do gach leabhar a chóip , or ‘to every cow her calf, to every book its copy’.
Le Grand Roi, après avoir entendu la cause, a rendu un verdict que je citerai d’abord en irlandais: do gach bó a lao, do gach leabhar a chóip , c’est-à-dire «à chaque vache son veau, et à chaque livre sa copie».
