Very interesting, well-researched contribution but why is cumdach capitalized at the beginning of the article? I have a feeling it is entirely accidental. Originally cumdach was the very first word until the indefinite article was added here but the capitalization remained. As it is not a proper noun, I suggest it should be changed to lower case -- unless, of course, it is on a par with the Bible, in which case it should be upper case throughout. - Ipigott (talk) 08:50, 10 November 2011 (UTC)Reply
