Witnesses say it has a blood-curdling screech, the devil’s own eyes and a mouth filled with razor-sharp fangs and that it could gobble you up quicker than you could say clásal coibhneasta neamhdhíreach
😆 😆 😆 :snake:
Here’s some more information on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandhi
Oh, it’s just like with the enchaînement. That’s okay then 😉
Another expression I remember, as an answer to “thank you”, is “nà lig ar d’anàil è”.
Actually, I was going to bring up about “ceannóchaidh” being the original form; Ulster kept the /x/ or /h/ and Munster and Connachta the /o:/. Ulster, of course, shortens unstressed vowels.
unstressed ò normally is /a/ in Ulster, the -òchaidh ending is pronounced /ahi:/ in Ulster (or /ahÉ™/ before a pronominal subject).

some say the sound of chains being rattled in the dead of night signals the arrival of the sandhi. If that happens, you should retreat to the comfort of your holiday chalet, bolt the doors and close all the windows.yeah I wish I was on holidays somewhere in India, in my chalet, scared of sandhi, the indian ghost of a rotten liaison interdite…
no chance of that at the moment… 🙁 tá an obair ag fanacht…Again, I wish 😉 Just half-remembered reminiscences of grammar classes long past…
sandhi is all yours now, take good care of her…Is there any dialect in Ireland where you can say “‘S e do bheatha/ur beatha” as in Scottland? For “don’t mention it” I mean?
in central Donegal I too heard and was instructed to say “go ndéanaidh a mhaith duit” in response to GRMA. I usually say it after GRMA, but I also use “na habair é”. I know it’s an anglicism but I have just gotten into the habit of using it.

Ó Dónaill gives – under BEATHA
“is é do bheatha, Dé do bheatha” = you are welcome ..
but it looks more like welcoming someone to your home, etceadaoin
