Thanks, Tim.

I'll just jump in to say I don't think I'd ever expect a b sound at the end of orthu, but Tim's OR ha seems fine, as would OR huh.

I think it's in the conjugated conditional you tend to get the f pronounced as h, for the future passive I'd personally expect to hear f. But, take that for what it is, an L2 speaker's anecdotal evidence.

By the way, Pearl, you may find this resource more useful for getting pronunciations than the way we try to transcribe them here.

Oh my goodness! thanks a lot. I've been trying to find sources for Irish pronunciations and I've only found two, but one of them doesn't really have a lot, so it's kind of like one small source. Thanks, Ade.

The "b" at the end of "orthu" and other "3rd person plural" prepositions (acu, etc.) seems quite common in Conamara. I apologize for not reading back to which dialect Pearl wanted and where these words fit into the lyrics but I thought maybe having a choice in this way would make it easier to pronounce in some contexts. Thanks for the "f/h" clarification. I didn't check on that either before I posted. Getting lazy here . . .

I'm back and I have new lyrics:

I don't need promises that won't be kept.
Is there any point in leaving?
My consciousness is blurring.
Is there any point in staying?
Even though, I still wonder if you'll return.

I changed the third sentence into something else. I changed my mind.

Hi Pearl, sorry for the slowness. Is this what you want?

Yes. I don't know why the third sentence says when I changed it. This is what I want:

I don't need promises that won't be kept.
Is there any point in leaving?
My consciousness is blurring.
Is there any point in staying?
Even though, I still wonder if you'll return.

Níl gealltanais ag teastáil uaim nach gcoimhlíonfar.
An bhfuil aon chúis le fágáil?
Tá m'aigne as fócas.
An bhfuil aon chúis le fanacht?
Agus fós, n'fheadar an bhfillfidh tú.

Let's get some more ideas on this for sure.

Tim

Thank you for your efforts, Tim.
