But you didn't. You listed words from the modern language.
Sticking to OIr would at least have eliminated most of the
obvious borrowings from English.

And if you were actually interested in anything but making a
rhetorical point, you'd have done some winnowing on your own.
In any case, we've seen a lot of these before, and I'm not
going to do your work for you again.
