Thanks, George. You managed to explain much better than my "nuanced" comment. English speakers want it to fit their pronounciations. How many times have I given lessons to someone on how to strike a bodhran, gave them the appropriate pronounciations of the name, and listened to them later still pronounce the dh as in English. It's like they just can't get outside of their pronounciations.

Thanks for your clear description.
