| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I am moving to a cabin in the North Shore of Lake Superior in northern Minnesota. Given my Irish heritage, I'd like to name the place for the forest that surrounds it and the sea at it's feet. So, I am looking for Irish translations (and phonetics) of:
sea
ocean
forest
A pleasing turn of the tongue as it's said is as important as accuracy.
I would very much appreciate any help anyone can provide. Please email response to .
Thanks! |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sea>farraige>far+igg+eh
ocean>farraige mhór>far+igg+eh wohr
forest>coillidh:kull+yee
The individual words are of no use whatever unless you know the rules for combining them in Irish.

That's the set expression in Irish and effectively means both -- the meaning of the two English sentences is very similar. It would be possible to come up with a couple of other ones too, but that's what people say. |

Dan, a chara,
Eagle is translated as "Iolar", which is a masculine noun in Irish. As such, "The Eagle" would be translated as "An t-Iolar".
Le meas,
