Thread Name: The ' fada ' in Irish vowels
Subject: RE: The ' fada ' in Irish vowels
Sure. One of the definitions for fada is "long". It is a diacritical mark used in Irish to differentiate between the various vowel sounds.

The keystroke is very simple. You simply hold down the alt key while typing whatever vowel you want a fada over. Go to my post in this thread on 02-Sep-00 - 11:49 AM to see how to install it and use it. It is very simple.
