Maoth-fhaclan airson a' bhàis

Euphemisms for death

It is also important that we learn verbs linked to bàs (death) in Gaelic.

Gaelic speakers have many maoth-fhaclan (euphemisms) to say this, and they are often used instead of bàsaich (die).

Some say bàsaich in reference only to animals.

caochail

change, pass away

siubhail

travel, die

eug

perish

bàsaich

die
