Hey guys
It's been a while,
I just need some quick help with a couple of words that I can't figure out how to pronounce to save my life.
mnà
cnoc
maidne
I don't know how to pronounce the mn, cn, and dn clusters.
Tapadh leibh!

Math d' fhaicinn a-rithist!
Cnoc is in the
Faclair Beag
In general, there are also
two detailed guides on my resource site which cover most eventualities.
That aside,
mnà is fairly regular - /mrãː/.
Maidne is a little irregular - or you could just argue the
dn cluster is so rare it's essentially irregular. In any case, it's /madNʲə/ (broad d usually) though many speakers use
madainn both for the nominative and the genitive.
