I wonder if someone could take a moment and tell me the Irish version of the above name. I need it for business purposes and would very much appreciate your help.
Go raibh míle maith agat. |

Do you mean Sword of (Light Music) or
(Sword of Light) Music?
The former would be
"claíomh an cheol eadrom",
the latter
Ceol an Claímh Solais.
Somebody who sleeps with a grammar under his pillow may be able to improve on my spelling, I'm not 100 % confident it's correct.
Fáilte romhat |

A Aonghus!
Dia dhuit, a chara.
Go raibh maith agat for an translation anseo.
The concept I am working with is "Sword of Light" so the spelling for sword ...claimh no claoimh is important.
I wonder if you could clarify which spelling is the more acceptable or are they both in general use?
I will try to contact you via your webpage shortly
Go maith agat arise,

Taken from an foclóir beag:
claíomh [ainmfhocal firinscneach den chéad díochlaonadh]
arm troda agus lann fhada fhaobhrach air, bior ar cheann amháin di agus doirnín ar an gceann eile.
Foirmeacha
claíomh - ainmfhocal
claíomh
[ainmneach uatha] (nominative singular)
claímh
[ginideach uatha](genitive singular)
claimhte
[ainmneach iolra]
claimhte
[ginideach iolra]
Hope this clarifies matters. |

Yes it does.
If I was to drop the word "music" and just say
"Sword of Light" then would it be gramatically correct to say "Claiomh Solais"....? |

An Claíomh Solais if you mean a specific one, Claíomh solais if you mean a sword of light. |
