I have become puzzled with the pronuciations of the word Ciabhach?

And then the related word Ciabhóg?

I have consulted the usual texts but there are no native irish speakers around and I was having trouble getting my mouth around these hairy words.

Any assistance greatly appreciated.

I am particulalry interested, as ever, in dialectical variations. Thanks.

In Ulster we'd say /k'i.эwah/ and /k'i.эwag/. (stress on the first syllable in both words).
