GUEST,Bill Kennedy | Folklore: Pogue Mahone (119* d) | RE: Pogue Mahone | 09 Feb 04 |
to follow up 'AN Puca''s post, lenition is a softening of the consonant. in this case the possessive pronoun 'my' - 'mo' requires lenition , so 'tóin' becomes 'thóin'; the initial 't' is 'softened', it becomes silent, so pronounced 'hone' |
