You're right about laochra I think. I think I was mis applying DNTLS for soiscéalaíochta, in that the s resists lenitions in the genitive case. Is it a case of it must be lenited as it's a "genitive as adjective" kinda thing?

I think if you use "dena" (or desna) it can work too, though I think na is pretty clear as well though to be honest.

I feared a little that "Evangelical Church" would seem a seperate sentence in the logo, but it's part of the whole sentence: "International Prayer Warriors Evangelical Church".

Can you explain me why "Prayer Warriors" is translated "Laochra Paidreoireachta", since "Paidreoireachta" is the plural for prayer, and the correct term is "warriors of prayer" and not "warriors of prayers." Gumbi first wrote that it could be "Laochra Paidir". Is that okay?

Paidir is "a prayer" - paidreoireacht is the act of praying which is more suitable.

Okay, I'll take your advise. Thanks

And for the Traditional Irish Gaeigle Font that I mentioned a while ago? Where can I find it?

Please always keep in mind that what may seem like a logical approach to a translation to a new learner of the language doesn't always work well in the language itself. Irish idioms are very different to English, and it takes some practice with them, and, occasionally, some discussion (as has been happening here) to arrive at a translation that says what you mean it to say in an idiom that is natural to Irish.

That's why we always advise people who ask for translations to wait for three people here to be in agreement before going ahead with anything...it's not just to be sure it's grammatically correct (important as that is!), but to be sure that it works naturally in the language.

I'd think you cannot use "Dé" and a second genitive with "na".
"Arm" is made definite ("the army") by "Dé" so no additional article is possible.

Not quite. First of all, the rule evaluates from inside out, deepest genitive first, so right-to-left. A definite to the right obviates the need for one to the left, but not the other way round.

(In fact, it was suggested to me last week that this rule is taught completely wrong in Scottish Gaelic, and I suspect the same holds for Irish -- the rule I was told last week is that only the leftmost, genitive marked noun can take the article, and everything else is qualified by the noun below it (analogous to how you can't say "John's brother's the son is John's the nephew in English", although word order here is reversed).)

Now... is it possible to have two rightmost nouns? Actually yes, and it's best shown by breaking the phrase down into its components.

Consider that the following is not a subpart of the nounphrase:
.. Dé na Laethanta Deireanacha
It is not referring to a "God of the final days", so "God" is leftmost in a subphrase, and "the final days" is leftmost in the full phrase.

I'm noticing that the preposition "de" (of) is missing for "Arm Neartmhar Ungtha Dé (de) na Laethanta Deireanacha". Because, just like you said, It is not referring to a "God of the final days", but "God's anointed mighty army of the final days." Am I correct?

Hey, I saw in your thread the phrase "Is Fearr súil romhainn ná ḋá ṡúil inár ndiaiḋ" in the traditional Celtic Gaeilge font. How did you do that?

The concept of "of" is supplied by the genitive relationship of the words themselves. No need for a preposition.
