luighe-siùbhladh

luighe-siùbhladh
(laighe-siùbhladh), child-bed, Irish luidhsiúbhail (Fol.), Middle Irish ben siuil, parturient woman, luige seola, child-bed. Stokes refers siuil to Middle Irish siul, bed, and compares the English phrase to be brought a-bed. The Gaelic and Irish seem against this, for the idea of luighe-siùbhladh would then be "bed-lying"; still worse is it when leabaidh-shiùladh is used. Consider siubhal, bearing.
