I read a word in irish; gráinneogach which means to have hedgehog like qualities; defensive and ill-tempered. The author of the book, ‘motherfoclóir’ states that he heard ‘igelqualitäten’ is the German equivalent. Can anyone confirm this please. I can’t seem to find it in the German dictionary.

Look on page 15 under the heading ‘fun with fadas’ and the name Gráinne.
