Bern,
I think Ciaran O'Toole's response to this question on Katie Doyle's message board beats any damage we could do here. Hope he was right as well as funny!

I think that maybe Ciaran's had one beer too many. ;) I especially enjoyed Ciaran's assistance in the pronunciation of Welsh names, as well as Katie Doyle's gentle correction. :)

Hey, Nan. In Gaelige (Irish) si is pronounced she. I have taken four semesters of the language and I still have contact with the professor (we converse in Gaelic whenever we aren't in class. Drive a number of people nuts). :) If I remember correctly, it means either fairy (my middle name) or fairy mound.

Yep, that's how the "si" in question is pronounced all right -- among the Welsh as well as the Irish. Katie Doyle gently pointed that out to the rather "authoritative" character over on her Irish/Scottish Names message board. :)

According to one obscure source:
Sikh Punjabis celebrate Teej. Normally in villages there is a Teej mela called *teelan*, when all the young girls get together and swing on a jhula called 'peeng' and apply mehndi, dance, sing and eat a feast of kheer (cooked with rice, milk and dry fruits) and purras (sweet or salty pancakes, made with besan).
