This beardless figure has seven pupils in each eye and seven fingers and toes on each (-5[1])hand and foot, according to a text that describes his wooing of Emer. One of this figure’s (15[1])eyes (15[1])draws (15[1])deep into his head (15[1])while the other pops out to his cheek amidst a series of contortions (15[1])performed after a troop of youths are slaughtered while this figure slumbers. (15[1])That monstrous spasm is this figure’s (*) riastrad. (10[1])This hero ties (10[1])himself (10[1]-5[1])to a boulder to remain standing, (10[2])so that his enemies are unaware he has died until a crow lands on his shoulder.
