Blessings Beith: is this modern Irish Gaelic? Some of the words are different from the resources we use. .......Seancha

Hi Seancha,

It's a mixture of Old, middle and modern depending on the term used. Also there are a few typos within (eg. Banda for Banba - a name of Ireland) and there are some not entirely-one-the-spot translations of terms, but overall it's a good 'dictionary'.

In the main the spelling conventions are modern Irish - eg. indicating when a consonant is lenited (softened) by writing h after it. But some words are not modern Irish and have fallen out of use as they belong to a much older period.

best wishes
Beith

Thanx. Sounds like a good gaelic dictionary/ language course is still the best bet.........Seancha

Would it be possible to turn this tinto a sticky? Otherwise, it gets lost in the messages, and that would be a shame :wink:
