Help[Facts] Re: Pronunciation Feminine Irish Name
in reply to a message by Cat
http://www.omniglot.com/writing/irish.htm
The accented 'a' is pronounced like the 'o' in 'bother' + w + the 'e' in 'me.'
The 'm' is the same as in English.
The 'e' is pronounced as the 'eigh' in 'neigh,' but a little shorter, without the 'ee' sound at the end.
We are now no longer the Knights Who Say "Ni!" We are now the Knights Who Say "Ekke, Ekke, Ekke, Ekke, Ptang, Zoo Boing!"
