Thread Name: How to pronounce 'Feinn' ?
Subject: RE: How to pronounce 'Feinn' ?
There is something I remember hearing from long, long ago, back when I was still married to the guy who put the "Mac" in my name... On the Clancy Brothers' records (that he absconded with when we split!), they sang songs about "the bold Feinin men". They pronounced it Feen'-yen. I had always presumed thet Feinin was an adjective applying to the members of Sinn Fein, and not just the same word. Was I wrong?
