Subject: RE: Stor Mo Chroi meaning
How would one say "treasure of a heart" in Gaelic?

A stór chroí would do nicely. Pronounced, roughly, a-store-kree with both second and third syllables stressed.

The a is a form of address (vocative?) i.e. the sense is "Oh heart's treasure!". There is no indefinite article in Irish.
