Summary: Last week Ruairidh was talking about the word samh. That’s the Gaelic for the common sorrel or sourock, Rumex acetosa. He was saying that perhaps the name came from Polish to Yiddish to English to Gaelic. This week, Ruairidh has a story about sorrel depicting its healing properties. Accompanying Gaelic text, grammar points and vocabulary are all available at bbc.co.uk/litir.
