A friend of mine has asked me the following


There is an Irish saying: "Coimhead fearg fhear na foighde" (Beware the anger of a silent man). If I would like to feminise that line to "Beware the anger of a silent woman" then would it become "Coimhead fearg bhear na foighde"? Is this correct (and correctly written)?

Thanks

BTW, Foighne means patience, not silence.
