Murray on Salt Spring	Help with Gaelic lyric pronunciation (10)	RE: Help with Gaelic lyric pronunciation	30 Aug 99
The "H" sound is really an "aspiration" pf the C (K) sound in "carna"; and H is only the best approximation in "English" letters. Aspiration, which occurs all the time in Gaelic, both Irish and Scottish, is indicated by an "h" letter after the letter aspirated. In this case, it turns the "c" into a sound close to the Scots "ch" in "loch" or the German, as in "ach".
