Sense questioned
The construction I question is (under Etymology and origin) If the employer failed to pay the proper amount, the bard would then compose a satire. (c.f. fili, fáith). Presuming this is intended to be a sentence, I have deleted the first full point. However, the c.f. (or should it be cf.?) part is meaningless to me. If I'm wrong, someone who does understand it would do well to expand it into a more intelligible statement—or else it should be deleted in deference to the average reader. I know that c.f. means 'carried forward', but am reluctant to accept the construction as denoting 'Bard is to satire as fili is to fáith'. Cheers, Bjenks (talk) 16:56, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
