HelpRe: Angharad

Yes, I wouldn't have known how to say it from just seeing it.
Think of it this way: In Celtic / Gaelic, "h's" often* silence the letter immediately before them. English carried this over a little in words like "night" and "eight."
* Notable exceptions are "bh" (= v, Siobhan) and "mh" (= v, Niamh).

Yah, the 'bh' and 'mh' are what I think of usually when I see Celtic names as I'm not too familiar with the 'gh' form especially.
Good to know though! And I never even realized that about 'night' and 'eight' lol I guess when it's something you've just known since you were little it doesn't stick out!
Thanks :)
