Usage notes
  • Anmoch refers to a neutral temporal state, whereas fadalach is used for "late" in the sense of "happening after an intended time". For instance, Dhùisg mi gu fadalach ― "I woke up late" implies having woken up after the intended time, whereas Dhùisg mi gu h-anmoch ― "I woke up late" implies waking up late in the morning, or later in the day, but not in relation to intention.
