    Usually these past autonomous forms end in the “ú” phoneme, but that would be weird here because the vowel here is part of the verb stem. Do you just say “bá”, or is it like “báú” (which would be weird, I think)? (In Munster, it would be like “bách” I assume).

    It is indeed [bʷɑːuː]. Same with ⟨glaodh⟩, ⟨níodh⟩, ⟨blíodh⟩, ⟨fíodh⟩, ⟨léadh⟩, ⟨leádh⟩, ⟨pléadh⟩, &c.

    bádh is just a spelling form. There is no further written vowel because “báadh” or “bá-adh” looks odd.
    But whether you use the old spelling báidheadh or the new one bádh – it is the same word /ba:u:/ in C and U or /ba:x/ in M.
    It is the same suffix /u:/ in C and U or /(É™)x/ in M (old spelling -adh, modern spelling -(a)dh)
    and the same stem /ba:/ (old spelling báidh, modern spelling bá(igh)

    I dTìr Chonaill deirtear “bàitheadh”, dar liom, /ba:x’u:/

    /ba:X’u/ i Maigh Eo fost’.

    An t-ainmfhocal “Báthadh”- /ba:hu:/

    (Brón orm faoi na siombailí thuas).

    Verbal noun bàthadh in Ulster too, as far as I know… 🙂

    Here’s another one: Brúdh. In this case it’s even weirder because you already have an “ú” sound. Does it sound identical to “brú” or is there a lengthening of the final syllable, as if trying to say “brú,ú”?

    No idea for an Cheathrùrù, but in Ulster it looks like people say “brùigheadh” /bru:ju:/.

    Yeah that’d be what I’d expect. I’m assuming ceathrúÂ rua it’s just /bru:/ but we’ll see.

    I’m not good at phonetics (neither am I good at spelling and reading the expected sound) but I think that is how I would say it too. like – bá_ thú.
