Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Sibheag Sibhor
A couple of points:
1. An approximate pronunciation is "Sheebeg, Sheemore". The sound "V" or "W" is determined by syntactic circumstances none of which apply here.
2. The meaning is "The Small Fairy Mound, The Big Fairy Mound"
3.I have never heard any words to this tune in either Irish or English that could remotely be described as traditional. Conán
