I'm also somewhat dubious as to what the point is. Of course with STT and TSS there are issues of accessibility i.e. they're useful to Gaelic speakers who are blind/deaf/dyslexic etc. But I fail to see how vocal synthesis would aid Gaelic speakers? If successful, wouldn't that mean that we lose yet ...

Hi Andrew. Just to check first, you do know there is a pretty good Gaelic voice?

Fixed

Though I think you meant initial p, and then kʷ following later. ;-) :mhoire: fixed But it should regularly be *ciodh – I have no idea why the original /ð/ got delenited here. Ciodh does appear as an obsolete form in some Gaelic dictionaries. But anyway, I agree there was probably some knock-on eff...

Thanks for the detailed feedback! Hope my criticism isn’t too harsh Heaven's no, you're become very nice about it and in the main, I concur with all points. A lot of that site, especially the older articles, are based on my notes from uni and that's a while back AND of course students don't always c...

Terrible spelling for boin/buin

Watch the spelling to begin with :priob: a' riuth 's a leam > a' ruith 's a' leum a' siobadh 's a' suathadh > a' sìobadh a' riuth 's riagail > a' ruith Second, they're not verbs, they're (verbal) nouns, they have grammatical gender and everything. Lastly, they're not such a big thing, apart from a' ...

There's also chan fhuilear dhut sin a dhèanamh "you had better not do that" but beware, the word fuilear is a Gaelic rabbit hole

I had to ask myself, all hail Prof Rob Ó Maolalaigh. The solution is this: càite is actually three words fused together, the Middle Irish (Old Irish used something else, it used cía airm / c'airm + a relative clause) pattern was based on the declarative áit i raibhe sé "the place in which it wa...

Well, right next to it I see "Carn Derg" so in all probability, it would be "A' Chreag Dhearg"

I would go with biorra-crùidein. Kingfishers just don't occur across the Gaelic speaking areas left today if you look at their distribution map

Tha greis on a chuir mi rud suas

ps faclair.com beats Wiktionary hands down

Vandalism less so but as other small wikis in small languages, it suffers from well-meaning contributors with shoddy Gaelic who often regard volume to be more important than quality. We had a specific problem some years back with one semi-fluent editor who was creating hundreds of stubs on who-blood...

I can’t find any example of that in the Corpas either. There is a lot of sa bhios (and a few sa bhitheas) there, but almost all of them are either:

Fair point, I didn't check for bad parsing
