Mormaer
In early medieval Scotland, a mormaer was the Gaelic name for a regional or provincial ruler, theoretically second only to the King of Scots, and the senior of a Toísech (chieftain).

Mod
A mòd is a festival of Scottish Gaelic song, arts and culture. The Gaelic word mòd (), which was borrowed from Old Norse mót and is therefore cognate with English moot, refers to a Viking Age Thing or a similar kind of assembly. There are both local mòds, and an annual national mòd, the Royal National Mòd. Mòds are run under the auspices of An Comunn Gàidhealach. The term comes from a Gaelic word for a parliament or congress in common use during the Lordship of the Isles. A mòd largely takes the form of formal competitions.
