Hello yall! The suffix -idh and -fidh confuses me.
I have seen it said that the suffix -idh can be pronounced \ee\
I have also seen it said that dh is \y\ when slender and \g\ when broad, thus -idh should make a \y\ sound.
However, I have then seen, for example cruinneóidh where this is pronounced \krin-gy-ohg\. I have written in my notes that -idh is a "palatized g", whatever that means lol.
On the reading of future tense irregular verbs here:
http://www.nualeargais.ie/foghlaim/irre ... hp?teanga=the -idh is always \ee\ and -fidh seems to be \hee\. I like this consistency. However, the f making an \h\ sound is strange, I don't think i've seen that mentioned anywhere else.
I realize Irish has different dialects, and perhaps all these options are okay under certain circumstances, but I just wanted to post this here to see if I could get some insights from anybody.
Any feedback helps! I appreciate y'all so much!
