As promised in the first Martin Luther King, Jr., blog (nasc thios<\/strong>), here is some vocabulary review with pronunciation tips. \u00a0This should prove useful both for foghlaimeoir\u00ed<\/strong> and for m\u00fainteoir\u00ed<\/strong> who may plan to use the caps\u00falbheathaisn\u00e9is<\/strong> in their ranganna<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

an ch\u00e9ad in\u00edon aige, his first daughter<\/p>\n

an dara hin\u00edon aige, his second daughter<\/p>\n

an ch\u00e9ad mhac aige, his first son<\/p>\n

an dara mac aige, his second son<\/p>\n

baghcat [with the “bagh-” like “by” or “buy” or IPA \/bai\/], as in the Montgomery Bus Boycott, further discussed in the previous two blogs<\/p>\n

baintreach [BAN-trzh<\/sup>ukh], widow; “a bhaintreach” [uh WAN-trzh<\/sup>ukh] means “his widow”<\/p>\n

bronnadh [BRON-uh OR BRON-oo], was bestowed<\/p>\n

buna\u00edodh [BUN-ee-uh] was established<\/p>\n

cearta sibhialta [Ky<\/sup>AR-tuh SHIV-ee-ul-tuh], civil rights<\/p>\n

cliarscoil [KLEE-ur-SKUH-il], seminary<\/p>\n

dealbh [DJAL-uv], sculpture, with the genitive case form “na deilbhe” [nuh DJEL-iv-uh], of the sculpture<\/p>\n

dealbh\u00f3ir [DJAL-uv-oh-irzh<\/sup>], sculptor<\/p>\n

diagacht [DJEE-uh-gukht], theology<\/p>\n

feallmhara\u00edodh [Fy<\/sup>AL-WAR-ee-uh], was assassinated, an interesting compound word, literally meaning “treachery-killed;” the word “feall” triggers the lenition of “mara\u00edodh”<\/p>\n

fuil [fwil], blood, shows up in this text as “fola” in “Domhnach na Fola” (Bloody Sunday, lit. Sunday of the Blood)<\/p>\n

gluaiseacht [GLOO-ish-ukht], movement<\/p>\n

gn\u00edomha\u00ed [GNEEV-ee], activist, agent, player\/driver\/actor<\/p>\n

m\u00f3rga [MOR-uh-guh], majestic<\/p>\n

m\u00f3rshi\u00fal [mor-hy<\/sup>ool], march, parade, procession, as discussed in the previous blog (nasc th\u00edos)<\/p>\n

pr\u00edomhfhoirgneamh [PRzh<\/sup>EEV-IRzh<\/sup>-ig-nuv], primary\/main building; the prefix “pr\u00edomh-” triggers the lenition of “foirgneamh”<\/p>\n

rugadh [RUG-uh OR RUG-oo, with the “dh” completely silent], was born.\u00a0 The “rug” isn’t exactly like the English word “rug;” the “u” is more like the “u” of “put” (not “putt”)<\/p>\n

seanm\u00f3ir\u00ed [SHAN-um-ohrzh<\/sup>-ee], preacher, sermonizer.\u00a0 This may look plural, along the lines of\u00a0 “sti\u00farth\u00f3ir\u00ed” (directors) and “d\u00e9ant\u00f3ir\u00ed” (manufacturers), but in the case of “seanm\u00f3ir\u00ed,” the “-\u00ed” ending is still singular.\u00a0 “Seanm\u00f3ir” is the actual “sermon,” or, rather delightfully, it can also mean “rigmarole” and it can also refer to a person, but specifically a “wearisome talker” or “moralizer.”\u00a0 The plural of “seanm\u00f3ir\u00ed” follows the pattern of “r\u00ed” and “r\u00fana\u00ed,” so it becomes “seanm\u00f3irithe” (like “r\u00edthe” for “r\u00ed” and “r\u00fanaithe” for “r\u00fana\u00ed”).<\/p>\n

sinsear [SHIN-shar], ancestor, appearing in this text in the plural, “sinsir,” [SHIN-shirzh<\/sup>].\u00a0 The word “sinsir” is also lenited in our text, so ”<\/p>\n

socheola\u00edocht [SUKH-OHL-ee-ukht], sociology<\/p>\n

tiomna\u00edodh [TCHUM-nee-uh], was dedicated<\/p>\n

tugadh [TUG-uh OR TUG-oo], was given.\u00a0 The same basic pronunciation pattern as “rugadh.”\u00a0 So again, the short “u” isn’t like English “tug” but like more like the “u” of “put” (not “putt”).<\/p>\n

And just for the sake of thoroughness, even though it wasn’t in the original “caps\u00falbheathaisn\u00e9is,” we have:<\/p>\n

neamhfhor\u00e9igean [Ny<\/sup>OW-OR-ayg-yun, with the “OW” like “cow” or “now;” an alternate pronunciation is “Ny<\/sup>AV-OR-ayg-yun], non-violence; the prefix “neamh-” triggers the lenition of “for\u00e9igean”<\/p>\n

There are a number of Irish words for “blockheaded,” so I think I’ll save a potential translation for “a blockheaded memorial,” as in the article by “W.W.” (nasc th\u00edos) for another blog.<\/p>\n

And then, there were a few grammar terms, not related to the civil rights theme per se, but which may benefit from a few pronunciation tips.<\/p>\n

cl\u00e1sal coibhneasta [KLAW-sul KwIV-nya-stuh], a relative clause (as in “the man who<\/em> designed it”)<\/p>\n

orduimhreacha [ORD-IV-rzh<\/sup>ukh-uh], ordinal numbers, or to say, “the ordinal numbers,” we add “na” (the) and prefix an “h” to get “na horduimhreacha.”\u00a0 We used these in the “caps\u00falbheathaisn\u00e9is” for phrases like “an ch\u00e9ad in\u00edon aige” and “an ch\u00e9ad mhac aige.”<\/p>\n

saorbhriathar [SEER-VRzh<\/sup>EE-uh-hur], autonomous verb, lit. “free-verb”<\/p>\n

tuiseal ginideach [TISH-ul GIN-idj-ukh], genitive case, used in Irish to show possession or to describe a noun further.\u00a0 In the text we saw “cuma na deilbhe” (the appearance of the statue), Domhnach na Fola (Bloody Sunday), and “ainm a mhic” (the name of his son).\u00a0 Other general examples of “an tuiseal ginideach” include “car\u00fal Nollag” (Christmas carol, from the word “Nollai<\/em>g,” Christmas (removing the “i” to make the genitive) and “\u00c9ir\u00ed Amach na C\u00e1sca,” which means “The Easter Rising, lit. “the rising “out”\/rising of Easter,” switching to “na C\u00e1sca” (of Easter) from “An Ch\u00e1isc” (Easter) for the genitive.\u00a0 Not that it’s Easter itself that’s rising–“Easter” is used to describe which specific rising is involved.<\/p>\n

Bhuel<\/strong>, that’s a good handful or more of vocabulary words to go along with the “caps\u00falbheathaisn\u00e9is<\/strong>.”\u00a0 I hope you found them useful, or if you teach Irish, I hope you may find it beneficial\u00a0if you use the Martin Luther King, Jr., blog as a classroom exercise.\u00a0\u00a0 SGF – R\u00f3isl\u00edn<\/strong><\/p>\n
