The plural of táin is tana, not táins. MaryJones 01:44, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ha! You beat me to it. Hi, Mary :-) Yes, I found this page today and came here to make this exact point. This article needs renaming. If we're going with an Irish name here, it should be correct, not an English/Irish hybrid that is incorrect in both languages. If there is no objection in the immediate future, I'm going to move this... unfortunately, Tana is a disambig. Perhaps something linke Tana (cattle raids) or Tana (Irish tales)? I think I prefer the latter. Any other suggestions? - Kathryn NicDhàna ♫♦♫ 01:31, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Other options Tana (literature) and Tana (Irish literature) - Kathryn NicDhàna ♫♦♫ 20:03, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think the best solution is to keep it singular, and call it Táin Bó - which I've done. --Nicknack009 21:19, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's better! Thanks, Nick, it's looking good now. - Kathryn NicDhàna ♫♦♫ 05:56, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Nicknack/Patrick--works for me! MaryJones (talk) 04:40, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In modern Irish, táinte. Marcas.oduinn (talk) 18:16, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Regamon / Regamain / Regamna

I think Táin bó Regamain and Táin bó Regamna on Van Hamel's CODECS are the same, viz,

Dublin, Trinity College, MS 1318 cols 573–958 ... cols 646–648
London, British Library, MS Egerton 1782 [1516-1518] ff. 81r–82r

They're not. Táin Bó Regamna is a story of Cú Chulainn's encounter with the Morrígan. Táin Bó Regamain is a story about Ailill and Medb's attempt to recruit a man called Regamon to join them on the Táin Bó Cúailnge by marrying their seven sons to his seven daughters. You can read translations of both in Volume 2 of A. H. Leahy's Heroic Romances of Ireland. --Nicknack009 (talk) 21:18, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that. See also British Library, MS Egerton 1782, with: Táin Bó Regamna, f. 76v-77v; Táin Bó Regamain, f. 81r-82r. Marcas.oduinn (talk) 22:21, 6 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
