   corra phinnt còmhla ris na co-obraichean aige ― an occasional pint with his workmates

   mar a rinn iad corra uair eile ― as they did several other times/on several other occasions

• Unlike the majority of Scottish Gaelic adjectives, corra precedes the noun and lenites it.

• corra uair (“occasionally”)
