Harmony =
 OR
Spirit Quest =

You might want to put the request in the Gaelic forum.

Yes, I think the Gaelic forum is a good idea, Leaf.
I've moved it.

Best Wishes with an answer to your translation, Fynn.

Well, a quick consult of the "teach yourself gaelic" dictionary gives three words for "harmony":

co-sheirm (meaning musical harmony), co-cheòl (which I'm deducing from related words means agreement or accord), and ceòl-rèimeadh (which I assume also has to do with music as ceòl is "music")

As for "spirit quest", erm, that's not in the dictionary, but I can ask my native Gaelic speaking colleague if such a concept exists and what the wording of it might be.

[Fox]

Okay, got something for you.

spirit quest could be rendered as "tóir spiorad"

where "toir" means "a great search" and "spiorad" means, well, spirit.

Hope this helps.

Hi, "tóir spiorad" IS from my friend, who went away for awhile to think about it....

Yes, I asked about pronunciation as well, and it was surprisingly straightforward - surprising if you have even a passing aquaintance with Gaelic lol!

Tóir is pronounced kind of like "tore" with a long o, but with a rolled r at the end. Spiorad sounds like "spirit" but with a d at the end, and again the rolled r.

When I say a rolled r I don't mean a huge rolling r sound, "torrrrrrr"  or "spiorrrrrrad" ... no, just one trip of the tongue, if you like.

See, easy!
