(The page shows blank - probably a CSS bug - so I'm reading the source.) Irish moss is not moss, or even lichen (which I distinguish by calling moss {clikyspa}), but seaweed. So I thought of calling it {gailge alga}. Can you think of a better name? The scientific name is Chondrus crispus. phma -- .i toljundi do .ibabo mi'afra tu'a do .ibabo damba do .ibabo do jinga .icu'u la ma'atman.
