Sorry, I don't know anything about French but I can help a little with the Irish. Gaelic is a family of languages of which Irish is a member along with Manx (Isle of Man), Scottish, Brittany (Gaelic part of France), Welsh, and Cornish (Cornwall in the UK). Forma in Irish means bench or form (according to Foclóir Gaeilge-Béarla, an Irish/English dictionary). I don't know what fórma with a fada (accent) over the o, means. I assume it means the same thing.
Best,
Marnia

what does Fórma have to do with ireland? I thought the local language
there was Gaelic or English. Even Paillasse seems to translate as
'straw' or 'pallet' or 'straw mattress'. I am confused.
