It's a pleasure to be able to contribute what I can, gnu. From postings here and on Chiff and Fipple I can see that some people are really struggling with the pronunciation, and even some of the people who are trying to be helpful with a very limited knowledge of Irish are a bit off the beam. By the way, for me APC is "armoured personnel carrier", but no offence taken.

Like a true pedant, I realised after posting that I'd been inconsistent with the phonetics. The syllable RAUN is pronounced the same way in both singular and plural.

Which brings me to the low D. "Low" in Irish is íseal (pronounced "EE-shall"), so maybe there's a terrible pun to be made on the lines "Now you're suckin' D-íseal".
