Re: Words or names?
The spelling mistakes were not mine. I copied the names from this Glasgow University Thesis .. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/4391/2/1999WalshPhD2.pdf. I now have the correct translations.

Identifying sounds from text
I cannot find where I saw this particular post but I thought it was on here. I am looking for somewhere that explains how certain words/letters are pronounced. I would like to be able to have a decent crack at pronouncing some of the gàidhlig road signs later in the year.

Dog commands
I have looked up the individual words in the gaelic dictionary for dog commands but sometimes there is more than one option given. Does anybody have a dog who could give me the basic commands used e.g. sit, wait, stay etc. Especially ' get off '. One of my dogs thinks he's called this

I will have a look for a spell checker as I don't think that one works with Chrome.

Latest Posts
I have found this now but I can't delete the post. It's in the Quick Links above Clàr-innse. Should have gone to specsavers.
Is there a way of bringing up a list of the latest posts instead of having to go into all the forums?

Re: Starting simple
Just checking. I have cèile as the word for husband/partner, that's not a name. Is this still correct?
