| Post subject: | Reading Irish with pre-reform spelling |
If you read something published before the sixties, it will probably use pre-reform spelling. Don't be intimidated; before long, you'll get used to ignoring some of those bizarre-looking letter combinations. Here are the most common simplifications made during the spelling reform: -ighim → -ím -éighim → -éim -ughadh → -ú -adha- → -ú- -aidheacht → -aíocht -aidhe → -aí -eamhail → -iúil -idhe → -í -aedhea- → -ae- -aogha- → -ao- |
