Exactly. Dearg is the modern Irish word for "Red" so the "h" at the end was dropped somewhere along the line.

Yes, it is. Red hand forever!

Presumably, the red hand referred to is the red hand of Ulster.

Obviously new here. I recently found my family crest in some of my grandfathers items that were previously missing. I'm glad to have found it, however at the bottom of the crest, are the words attached. I put "Lamh" in a gaelic translator and the word hand returns. Abu, did not return with anything, and just doing a random search, saw it might be a war cry of some sort. I can't find the middle word anywhere.

Appreciate the help in advance. If it helps grandfather is O'neal.

Thanks!
