Andrew	The ' fada ' in Irish vowels (64* d)	The ' fada ' in Irish vowels	22 Feb 99
Just for the sake of it....The accent or 'fada' in Irish alters the sound of the vowel like so.. = aw, ‚ = ay, ¡ = ee, ¢= oh and £ = ue as in glue. they can be typed using the following codes: NUM LOCK ON: HOLD DOWN ALT on keypad type 0225 for , 0237 =¡, 0250=£, 0233=‚ and ¢=0243 (release ALT after typing numbers) Hope this is of some interest and/or help P.S. note the direction of the accent and this is Connemara pronunciation, Donegal pronounciation is different eg = ah (not aw).This is using windows os,I don't know if different systems work the same way. Sl n, Andrew
