Donn Cúailnge

The id and name are `donn_cuailnge`, kept distinct from the corpus's existing `irish_donn`, the god of the dead — a within-tradition name collision of the kind lanes 16 and 17 met twice in Hindu, and handled the same way. His owner, Dáire mac Fiachna, is a BLOCKED census row: he is named in the sources and the treatment consulted does not describe him.

Domains

• fertility of herds

Relations

• killed and was destroyed by: FinnbhennachReciprocated in-batch with a kind that fits both ways round, because the fight kills them both and the asymmetry — one killed, the other died of it — is in the kind itself.Reference treatment: the two fought across all of Ireland, the Brown Bull killed the white bull, and then went mad from its wounds and rage and died. (secondary)
• coveted by: MedbNon-symmetric, so nothing is written onto the pre-existing Medb record. This single edge is the Táin: the corpus held the queen and the army and the war and not the object of it.Reference treatment: Medb has no equal to the Finnbhennach, the only bull of its caliber being the Donn Cúailnge in Ulster, and assembles an army to take him by force.
