Creation and Usage Notes

At this point, I'm not 100% sure if I knew about the phrase Va'esse deireádh aep eigean, va’esse eigh faidh’ar or not. Though it translates to "Something ends, something begins" the word eigean clearly comes from English "again" and probably serves the same function. It probably would've served to only have one word that meant "again", but it doesn't hurt to have more than one.
