A follow-up to a previous one just if it interests anyone.
Beag is not pronounced beog
Éa is not really ia.
Tigh is genitive "an tighe," but "tigh mhór" lenited. Pronunciations of tigh vary from te' to tigh to tig, but istigh is pronounced istig at least in my specific dialect. The plural is something like teitheanna.
Tigh chinn tuighe not ceanntuighe.
Seómbra not seómra, and it is not feminine as it is in Kerry.
Unfortunately, I have never heard "'na theannta san."
Chómh maith is the overwhelmingly preferred version of "also" while leis still exists.
Cois and cluais not cos and cluas are nominative.
"Mh" and "bh" are not always pronounced v. Broad is quite closer to a "w" sound, i.e. abhaile is not availe.
There are a lot of "ai" sounds with which aoinne and muinnteardha, e.g. are pronounced.
Some of this may be very regional and vary inside of the Déise.
(Regarding my username, I don't think this is a Déise thing. I think the only reason that this is what I learned for it is because whoever I picked it up from must have never heard it before themselves and just guessed from "ceanntuighe." It is pronounced ceanntuiġeadóireaċt, so not sure why I spelt it that way in my username. Tuigheadóireacht is the correct word. Again the only reason that is my username is because everything I tried was taken so i thought of the rarest word).
You mean "beag" rhymes with "feadh"?
