Subject: RE: Query: Define/pronounce 'fraughan'
Martin, as you mentioned Forth and Bargy, I'm sure you heard of the Yola dialect that was spoken there in the old days. It certainly explains where we Yellabellys get some of our strange pronounciations from. Frockan is obviously from the Gaelic and I suppose should be pronounced Fraw-han or thereabouts.But us Wexfordians must keep the flag of Yola flying, so as far as I'm concerned, like in the Volunteers song , it's frockan. Mariner.
