[Facts] Darlughdacha -Pronunciation?
I was researching St. Brigid of Kildare and found that she had a female companion called "Darlughdacha" (I also saw it spelled Darludacha and Darlughdach). Apparently the name means "daughter of Lugh" (Lugh being a Celtic deity, making it likely that Darlughdacha, like Brigid, was originally a Celtic Goddess who was later "translated" into a christian nun). I assume the name Darlughdacha is Irish in origin, but I was wondering if anyone had any idea on how to pronounce it?
