'S e (no 's i...) "Seònaid" a th' ann (no a th' innte...), le sràààc air an ò. 'S dòcha gum bi "shaw nedge" nas fhaisge na "shonnidge".

Saoilidh mi nach eil fuaimneachadh air an litir "i". Tha e ann direach airson am fuaimneachadh ceart air an litir "d".

I think that the letter "i" is not pronounced. It is there just for the correct pronunciation of the letter "d".

'S e sin, Seònaid = Shaw-natch.
