Is there any difference in pronunciation of tairgim = I draw, pull.
And tairgim = I offer.
In any dialect, but particularly Munster

Is your first one, tairgim (I pull) spelled correctly? Is it dialectal? The standard has it as tarraingím I believe.

you're right, spelling mistake :facepalm:

I went back and checked where i got it from, seems there was a spelling mistake in the source.

Tairrigím= I pull/draw
Tairigim= I Offer

although the Corpas on folóir.ie doesn't produce any results for Tairigim

I'm not sure as to whether you're referring to my spelling of it? Because if so there are plenty of Google hits for it.

Sorry I was referring to the spelling I had .
The source book I used teach yourself Irish , which is Munster based, has Tairgim for both I offer and I pull.

However the book Leabhar Mór Bhriathra na Gaeilge says pull is Tairrigím in Munster Irish (Tarraingím in An Caighdéan)
So Tairgim must be , I offer.
