I keep seeing this phrase around, mostly on silly t-shirts:
“Ni Baol Ach Don Olcas Mise”
It’s claimed it means “only evil need fear me”.
Anyway, it looks like gibberish to me. Would it make some sort of sense if the “ach” came before “mise”?
I took a stab at it for fun:
Ní gá d’eagla a bheith ar an olc ach romham.
Does my attempt make sense?
I think your translation means “Evil need only fear ME” which isn’t quite the same as “I’m no danger to anything but EVIL”

No, it is correct
Is baol dó é = It is a danger for him.
Ní baol dó é = It is no danger for him.
Ní baol ach dó é = It is only a danger for him.
Ní baol ach don olcas mise = I’m only a danger for the evil.
But:
Ní baol don olcas ach mise = Only I am a danger for the evil.
