Piper

From Eugene O’Curry, »On the manners and customs of the ancient Irish: a series of lectures«, vol. III, Lectures, vol. II (1873), Lecture XXXV (Delivered July 4th, 1862), "Of music and musical instruments in ancient Erinn (continued)"), p.335-336; O’Neill’s alternative plural (spelt "Pipairedha") proves to be incorrect (➺ O’Curry).
