Did you know?

  • The word daoimean is a phonetic adaptation from the English 'diamond', rather than being a word of native Gaelic origin.
  • While English uses 'diamond' to describe both the stone and a shape, in Gaelic, you would likely use a different native word to describe a diamond-shaped pattern on a sweater.
  • If you were to look for a truly ancient, native Gaelic word for a precious, hard stone, you would likely find roots related to clach, meaning 'stone', rather than the modern daoimean.
