   Here's what Le Roux and Guyonvarc'h have to say about the Glam Dicinn   
   (courtesy of Babelfish):   
      
   Glam dicinn - supreme curse: satire pronounced by a file and of which   
   the immediate effect was the appearance on the face of the victim of   
   three furoncles (Shame, Tache and Ugliness) with, for short-term   
   consequence, the impossibility of paraitre (appearing?) in public, the   
   opprobe and death.   
      
   The magic principle in question is that of the incantation by the crí   
   which has legal value of protest differently. The glam dicinn is, in the   
   texts, generally the reaction of the file has which a king or a   
   high-ranking person refused, legitimately or not, a request for gift or   
   favour.   
      
   See Christian-J. Guyonvarc' H, Notes of Gallic and Celtic Etymology and   
   Lexicography, XX, 82, Means-Irish corrguinech (magician) and glam dicinn   
   (malediction supréme), in Ogam, 16, 1964, pp. 441-446 and 17, 1965, pp.   
   143-144.   
      
   *** end of Babelfish translation ***   
      
   I couldn't type in all the French diacritical markings so some words   
   were left untranslated but generally one gets the meanings. On pages   
   205-212 of their Les Druides they discuss satire. When time allows I'll   
   type this into Babelfish to more clearly understand what is said.
