Errigal, MacBoo, et al., many thanks again for all your input. I was fascinated to watch the evolution of the discussion

Again, because I am a Gaelic neophyte, could you confirm for me my translation of 'Ní áit fá choinne cladhairí mise' - I'm reading it as 'I am not a location/site for cowards.' (more directly 'Not where for cowards I am')

And also - can you give me the pronunciation? I can mangle it with the Scottish Gaelic pronunciation, but I'm figuring there are a few differences!

You all have made my day!

I am not a place suitable for cowards.

Faoi (or fá) choinne means suitable for, set aside for, literally it is 'under appointment'.

áit basically means 'place'.

Ruffly: Nyee atch/etch* fah hunnyih** clah-ree/cleh-ree* mishih**.

*Ulster Irish nowadays=Donegal Irish, where both sounds are heard depending on the area, but most non-native speakers from the rest of Ulster tend to use the "atch" and "clah" sound. I've added a hyphen in 'clah-ree/cleh-ree' to indicate that they are pronounced as two separate syllables but there is no pause between them.

** That "ih" sound is like the unstressed "a" in "above" or the second "o" in "doctor". In fact, "mise" is like "mission" without the "n". "fá choinne" is pronounced as one word of three syllables, no pause between the two words.

Macboo. fá choinne is used in Donegal as a sort of default for "for", even where it shouldn't oughta be in CO terms
