STORRADH

STORRADH, II 74, to importune a person to take a thing as food when not inclined to take it. 218, forcing, urging strongly, pressing. Bha ’ad ’ga storradh orm ge b’oil leam, [they were forcing it on me in spite of me].

 

Dwelly has storr for overfeed, surfeit, cloy. Storradh is of course the present participle.

“Was it forced on you?” asks a man about salted meat in a story recounted in Leabhar na Ceilidh: Sgeulachdan Ait agus Dain Aighearach in 1898.
