Bump :} Let me reword my question! How does one pronounce the "obh" for the verb Aithníobh in Galway? I am asking because I can't find the answer in any of my sources.

Thanks,

Swisscheese

What is 'Aithníobh'?

Be sure to get three in agreement with a translation given.

According to Leabhar Mór Bhriathra na Gaeilge it is the imperfect tense and the imperative tense for aithin.

er … I think you mean aithníodh, right?

In the imperfect, I think it should be d'aithníodh sé/sí/sibh

Can you check that again please, swisscheese? It must be a typo.

The imperfect and third person imperative should be (d')aithníodh with a dh rather than a bh.

This dh is normally pronounced /x/ but becomes a /ṭ/ before a pronoun starting with s:

Bhíodh muid anseo. "We used to be here" /w´i:x mid´ ə'n´s´o/
Bhíodh sé anseo. "He used to be here" /w´i:ṭ s´en´s´o/

Ná bíodh imní a'd "Don't you worry!" /Nɑ: b´i:x i:m´r´i: æ:d/
Bíodh sí críonna nó óg "Be she young or old" /b´i:ṭ s´i: kr´i:əNə Nu: o:g/

So for aithníodh:

d'aithníodh muid "We used to recognise" /dæ:n(h)´i:x mid´/
d'aithníodh sé "He used to recognise" /dæ:n(h)´i:ṭ s´e/

(Crossed with WFM)

ops! You're right. It is a odh :[ Sorry about that.

I am afraid I don't understand the x? Is that a glutteral sound like in ch?

Thanks,

Swiss

/x/ = a guttural ch sound.
