Hello:
I have learned through one of the conversations on the archive pages that the translation of "Forgive us our trespasses" is: Maith dúinn ár bhfiacha.
What I am wondering, is it proper to write this in upper case letters? For example:
MAITH DÚINN ÁR BHFIACHA
If so, are the fadas removed or do they change at all?
Many thanks for your help with this.

1) Accents are not removed.
2) Some letters are left lower case, as GGN showed. That is because the root word is Fiacha, and the bh is an eclipse. You could put it in small caps. |
