Could anyone tell me the meaning of the Irish "Ni bheidh mo leitheid ann aris" ? I can't provide much in the way of helpful context : it's simply the signature of a member of a certain well-known and well-respected language forum ;). My only motivation is that every time I see one of her...

I have a few questions about aspiration in Irish. When using 'mo' or 'do' before a word starting with a vowel e.g. mo athair, does the 'o' in 'mo' disappear and become an apostrophe so that it reads like this: m'athair? And also, if I am wanting to say where something is in a room e.g. on, at...

I came across this name in the Irish phone book as a first name, and I believe it's a female name, also assuming that it's Gaelic/Irish. Can someone please tell me what it means and how to pronounce it? I've been searching all kinds of name sites and found no information on origin...

One of the things that make Gaelic spelling challenging is the abundance of silent vowels. They're not altogether silent, but more precisely serve to signal that the consonant beside them is "broad" or "slender" (velarized or palatalized, in contemporary Irish). I'm curious to know if these...
