“Ring” as applied to bells

[Rosie]

Hi. I can’t find a definite answer for this online: would the verb “ceiliúir” be best/appropriate for bells (like sleigh bells) “ringing” …or would “buail” be better…thank you!

‘Buail’, as you mentioned, would be the most common word for ringing bells, though in the case of sleigh bells, ‘cling’ could work even better.
