I have been VERY slow at writing a novel.

More than a year ago I found a Gaelic word that I used for the name of a character. To help my American English readers, and since other character would only be hearing the name, not seeing it spelled out, I wrote the name as a phonetic version of it. "Chower." Unfortunately, I have lost the original word, and I can;t seem to find my research on it.

So, as I mentioned before, I wrote it as "Chower" Chow - er

Would anyone happen to be able to figure from that what word I used?

I'm not sure if context would help, because i still might have chosen the word out of context. The name is for a cat that is a familiar to a witch (good witch!). The cat is a pixie-bob, very intelligent and loving. So I am thinking, intelligent , familiar, family, love, cat, feline? I'm just not sure.

I'm also not sure what branch language I used, though I try to find old Gaelic as a general trend.

Thank you very much for any assistance you can offer.

Perhaps Teamhair, the Hill of Tara?

That's it!

Thank you very much for finding my lost word! (Or name-phrase in this case!)
