Subject: RE: HELP: Pronunciation, Irishword bhuachail
well it is hard to be exacting with just phonetic spelling, but I would say it like this:

bhuachail = "VOO-uh-{k}hill" (the "k" sound is the guttural "h" sound which has just a trace of a "kuh" soud in it...); it is three syllables...

hope that helps...
