A "cailleach bed" was a bed by the fire. A "cailleach no looha" (In irish: "cailleach na luaithe") was an "old woman of the ashes". "They say there's great wisdom in that cailleach no looha." And a "caillichín" could either be a "precocious little girl" or a "small old woman". #ireland #slang #language
