### Etymology 1

A form of còrr, from Middle Irish corr (“protruding, pointed”), from Proto-Celtic *kurros (“pointed, angled”), possibly ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *(s)ker- (“bend, curve”). Compare Irish corr.

#### Adjective

corra (comparative corra)
* odd, occasional
    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

##### Usage notes

* Unlike the majority of Scottish Gaelic adjectives, corra precedes the noun and lenites it.
    Chan eil ach corra chothrom agam sin a dhèanamh. ― I only have an occasional opportunity to do that.
* It can also convey the meaning of a few, but the following noun is still in the singular:
    corra bhliadhna fhathast ― a few years yet

* corra uair (“occasionally”)

#### Noun
