Dia Daoibh!

For any who may know the answer, I have a rather specific question about the pronunciation of abair, beir, and tabhair in an Chanúint Ghaoth Dobhair. Unlike not so long ago, I am much more confident now about the use of the Gaoth Dobhair slender-r “y-sound”…in fact, after many many hours of listening to native speakers and writing down patterns, I believe I have “cracked the code,” as it were, on the y-sound version of the slender r and when it is applied among native speakers of the region. (I hope to share my findings here soon when I have it written coherently.)

But I don’t believe I have ever heard the above three irregular verbs pronounced as-is (in their dictionary/imperative forms) by a native Gaoth Dobhair speaker.

My logic (and the pattern that I’ve recognized) tells me that these are pronounced…

AH-bwee
bey
tō-y

But, since I’ve never heard them spoken by a Gaoth Dobhair native (and because I know that there sometimes random exceptions in the area to pronouncing the slender r), I find myself feeling a bit unconfident that anyone really pronounces them that way…

Can anyone help me out on this? Más amhlaidh a bheadh, go raibh míle maith agat!
