Tá cuma ceart air dar liomsa. Ar dhóigh eile, thiocfadh leat "tháinig miongháire/meangadh searbh ar aghaidh an fhathaigh" a rá fosta.

If you want to specifically say "spread" across his face then use "leath".

In Conamara we usually say "éadan" for "face".

That's interesting. I am only familiar with 'clár éadain' for forehead. This fella's clár éadain must be fairly sore at this stage! :bash:
