I have also seen "tread go héadrom" is that a possible translation?

Did that come from Google translate? The first word has been left untranslated.

go héadrom works. Based on De Bhaldraithe, you could have:

siúil go héadrom
siúil go héasca
siúil go haclaí

But the latter two are more like "freely" and "agilely".

Éadrom is the opposite of trom "heavy", including in the sense of "of great force, intensity", "a heavy blow", etc.

So, I don't see any problem with siúil go héadrom.

Await further opinions ...

Siúil Go Séimh

Is this an exact translation for "walk gently"?

Thank you!

Yes, "light" as in "light step", "light blow", "light work".


PS: You aren't allowed to have two accounts on the forum so I've deactivated your earlier one.

Thank you so much. I tried to have my password sent to me and was told I didn't have permission to, so I just went ahead and made a new one.

Sorry about that. I may have the settings wrong. I will look into it. Best to e-mail admin if you have a problem like that in future.
