GUEST,learner Lyr Add: Slan le Fionnairaigh /Farewell to Fiunary (29) RE: Lyr Add: SLAN LE FIONNAIRIGH 29 Sep 02

actually, the name is spelled correctly in the lyrics in the first message, albeit not in the thread title.
according to MacLennan's Gaelic dictionary, "áirigh" is a shieling or sheep pasture and "airidh" means worthy, meretorious. Fionn is fair-coloured. There is also a word "fionnairidh" in the dictionary meaning either watching or evening (I think because another meaning of fionn is cool and aire can mean to keep watch).
