Cuagáin

Cuagáin is a term with Gaelic origins, most commonly referring to a type of wooden or metal container. Historically, cuagáin were often used for holding liquids, such as milk or water, and were typically crafted by hand. The design could vary, but they often featured a handle for easy carrying. In some contexts, the term might also be used more broadly to describe any kind of vessel or pail. The specific materials and methods of construction for a cuagán would have depended on the region and the availability of resources. While less common in modern usage, the cuagán represents a traditional form of utilitarian craftsmanship. The word itself can sometimes be found in older texts or in discussions of rural life and traditional tools in Gaelic-speaking areas.
