I am looking for a Irish Gaelic word(s) that means "Brothers" as in brotherhood. I am finding two words for this: 'dearthair' and 'dearthaireacha'. Would one of these be more appropriate or is there another word? Also, help with pronunciation would be great. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, JT |

Bráithre = metaphorical brothers: kinsmen, fellow members of a society or religious order
A rather simplified pronunciation, close enough to do business with, would be BRAW-ruh.

Nár lagaí a greann is a grá san alltar.
(that-not * may be diminished * her * humour * and * her * love * in-the * far-country/other world)
May her humor and her love not be diminished in the world beyond.

Remember the first r is fully voiced, and the second is devoiced till half-way, and is then voiced in the second part. Neither of them are the same r. Tap the ridge behind the mouth for the first like some Americans make the d in 'rather', and the same but with a tap near the top teeth for the second. Make like your smiling for the b, and like you've a surprised look on you for the á |

For heaven's sake, Murph... look in the thread where you first posted, and stop pasting this message up on every available surface, maith an fear! Aonghus gave you an answer there. |
