Greetings the List,
I've had a question posed to me which I am unable to answer. It concerns the pronunciation of some Gaelic (I think) given names and a surname. Could some Kind Soul who is In the Know please offer guidance?
The names are:
Glendynwyne (this is a surname, the rest are given names)
Makyne
Gelis
Syffy
Sywr
My guesses are:
/GLEN-din-wine/
/ma-KINE/
/GEL-is/
/SIF-fee/
I have no clue about the last and have no real wish to sprain my lips with an attempt. The caps represent the accents. Sorry about the English characters--I don't have an IPA font on this computer.
Thanks to All so very much for your help.
