Our tutor also gave us some interesting side notes and information about the Gaelic speaking communities, history of certain words and various other interesting snippets to keep us entertained. + +We learned about _àirigh_ which is Gaelic for sheiling (bothy) which is a one build small house, normally just one room without modern conveniences such as toilets. During Summer the cattle would move for better grazing and the crofters would follow with their families and where the cattle stopped was where the _àirigh_ would be. Families would spend about 6 or 7 weeks during the Summer in their sheilings, often without properly washing, which was great for kids.. not so good for teenagers. Nowadays the bothies can often be found a few miles away from Stornoway and in some cases they’ve turned into drinking dens for tho who have been banned from the Island’s few pubs! + +Though not so interesting but certainly vital to learning the language, we were taught that the structure of Gaelic is Verb Subject Object (VSO), whereas English is Subject Verb Object (SVO) and Japanese is Subject Object Verb (SOV)..

The name _Mhàiri_ is the aspirated version of the original name _Màiri_. Aspiration or lenition is difficult to explain so I’ll leave you in the capable (and ALWAYS accurate) wikipedia for this one: + +> **Grammatical lenition** + +>In the Celtic languages, the phenomenon of intervocalic lenition historically extended across word boundaries. This explains the rise of grammaticalised initial consonant mutations in modern Celtic languages through the loss of endings. A Scottish Gaelic example would be the lack of lenition in _am fear_ /əm fɛr/ (“the man”) and lenition in _a’ bhean_ /ə vɛn/ (“the woman”). The following examples show the development of a phrase coning of a definite article plus a masculine noun (taking the ending _–os_) compared with a feminine noun taking the ending _–a_. The historic development of lenition in the two cases can be reconstructed as follows: + +>Proto-Celtic *_(s)indos wiros_ IPA: [wiɾos] → Old Irish _ind fer_ [feɾ] → Middle Irish _in fer_ [feɾ] → Clascal Gaelic _an fear_ [feɾ] → Modern Gaelic _am fear_ [fɛɾ] +> +>Proto-Celtic *_(s)indā benā_ IPA: [venaː] → Old Irish _ind ben_ [ven] → Middle Irish _in ben_ [ven] → Clascal Gaelic _an bhean_ [ven] → Modern Gaelic _a’ bhean_ [vɛn] +> +>Synchronic lenition in Scottish Gaelic affects almost all consonants (except /l̪ˠ/ which has lo its lenited counterpart). Changes such as /n̪ˠ/ to /n/ involve the loss of secondary articulation; in addition, /rˠ/ → /ɾ/ involves the reduction of a trill to a tap. The spirantization of Gaelic nal /m/ to /v/ is unusual among forms of lenition, but is triggered by the same environment as more prototypical lenition. (It may also leave a residue of nasalization in adjacent vowels. The orthography shows this by inserting an _h_ (except after l n r): + +>
Spirantization
/p/→ /v/bog /pok/ “soft” → glé bhog /kleː vok/ “very soft”
/pj/→ /vj/ (before a back vowel)beò /pjɔː/ ‘alive’ → glé bheò /kleː vjɔː/ ‘very alive’

Reduction of place markedness
In the modern Goidelic languages, grammatical lenition also triggers the reduction of markedness in the place of articulation of coronal sonorants (l, r, and n sounds). In Scottish Gaelic, /n/ and /l/ are the weak counterparts of palatal /ɲ/ and /ʎ/.
/ɲ/→ /n/neulach /ɲial̪ˠəx/ “cloudy” → glé neulach /kleː nial̪ˠəx/ “very cloudy”

Our tutor also gave us some interesting side notes and information about the Gaelic speaking communities, history of certain words and various other interesting snippets to keep us entertained. - -We learned about _àirigh_ which is Gaelic for sheiling (bothy) which is a stone build small house, normally just one room without modern conveniences such as toilets. During Summer the cattle would move for better grazing and the crofters would follow with their families and where the cattle stopped was where the _àirigh_ would be. Families would spend about 6 or 7 weeks during the Summer in their sheilings, often without properly washing, which was great for kids.. not so good for teenagers. Nowadays these bothies can often be found a few miles away from Stornoway and in some cases they’ve turned into drinking dens for those who have been banned from the Island’s few pubs! - -Though not so interesting but certainly vital to learning the language, we were taught that the structure of Gaelic is Verb Subject Object (VSO), whereas English is Subject Verb Object (SVO) and Japanese is Subject Object Verb (SOV).. I couldn’t pick a language that shares a structure with one I already know, could I? - -_Feasgar_ (afternoon/evening) is masculine, _Oidhche_ (night) is female.. this distinction affects the word _math_ (good) in the common greetings _Feasgar Math_ and _Oidhche Mhath_ with the female form aspirating the adjective. - -Gaelic is full of words that don’t exist, for example the name _Mhàiri_ doesn’t “traditionally” exist in Gaelic. The name _Mhàiri_ is the aspirated version of the original name _Màiri_. Aspiration or lenition is difficult to explain so I’ll leave you in the capable (and ALWAYS accurate) wikipedia for this one: - -> **Grammatical lenition** - ->In the Celtic languages, the phenomenon of intervocalic lenition historically extended across word boundaries. This explains the rise of grammaticalised initial consonant mutations in modern Celtic languages through the loss of endings. A Scottish Gaelic example would be the lack of lenition in _am fear_ /əm fɛr/ (“the man”) and lenition in _a’ bhean_ /ə vɛn/ (“the woman”). The following examples show the development of a phrase consisting of a definite article plus a masculine noun (taking the ending _–os_) compared with a feminine noun taking the ending _–a_. The historic development of lenition in these two cases can be reconstructed as follows: - ->Proto-Celtic *_(s)indos wiros_ IPA: [wiɾos] → Old Irish _ind fer_ [feɾ] → Middle Irish _in fer_ [feɾ] → Classical Gaelic _an fear_ [feɾ] → Modern Gaelic _am fear_ [fɛɾ] -> ->Proto-Celtic *_(s)indā benā_ IPA: [venaː] → Old Irish _ind ben_ [ven] → Middle Irish _in ben_ [ven] → Classical Gaelic _an bhean_ [ven] → Modern Gaelic _a’ bhean_ [vɛn] -> ->Synchronic lenition in Scottish Gaelic affects almost all consonants (except /l̪ˠ/ which has lost its lenited counterpart). Changes such as /n̪ˠ/ to /n/ involve the loss of secondary articulation; in addition, /rˠ/ → /ɾ/ involves the reduction of a trill to a tap. The spirantization of Gaelic nasal /m/ to /v/ is unusual among forms of lenition, but is triggered by the same environment as more prototypical lenition. (It may also leave a residue of nasalization in adjacent vowels. The orthography shows this by inserting an _h_ (except after l n r): - ->
Spirantization
/p/→ /v/bog /pok/ “soft” → glé bhog /kleː vok/ “very soft”
/pj/→ /vj/ (before a back vowel)beò /pjɔː/ ‘alive’ → glé bheò /kleː vjɔː/ ‘very alive’
/kʰ/→ /x/cas /kʰas̪/ “steep” → glé chas /kleː xas̪/ “very steep”
/kʰʲ/→ /ç/ciùin /kʰʲuːɲ/ “quiet” → glé chiùin /kleː çuːɲ/ “very quiet”
/t̪/→ /ɣ/dubh /t̪uh/ “black” → glé dhubh /kleː ɣuh/ “very black”
/tʲ/→ /ʝ/deiseil /tʲeʃal/ “ready” → glé dheiseil /kleː ʝeʃal/ “very ready”
/k/→ /ɣ/garbh /kaɾav/ “rough” → glé gharbh /kleː ɣaɾav/ “very rough”
/kʲ/→ /ʝ/geur /kʲiaɾ/ “sharp” → glé gheur /kleː ʝiaɾ/ “very sharp”
/m/→ /v/maol /mɯːl̪ˠ/ “bald” → glé mhaol /kleː vɯːl̪ˠ/ “very bald”
/mj/→ /vj/ (before a back vowel)meallta /mjaul̪ˠt̪ə/ “deceitful” → glé mheallta /kleː vjaul̪ˠt̪ə/ “very deceitful”

/pʰj/→ /fj/ (before a back vowel)peallagach /pʰjal̪ˠakəx/ “shaggy” → glé pheallagach /kleː fjal̪ˠakəx/ “very shaggy”
Loss of secondary articulation
/n̪ˠ/→ /n/nàdarra /n̪ˠaːt̪ərˠə/ “natural” → glé nàdarra /kleː naːt̪ərˠə/ “very natural”
/rˠ/→ /ɾ/rag /rˠak/ “stiff” → glé rag /kleː ɾak/ “very stiff”
Debuccalization
/s̪/→ /h/sona /s̪ɔnə/ “happy” → glé shona /kleː hɔnə/ “very happy”
/ʃ/→ /h/seasmhach /ʃes̪vəx/ “constant” → glé sheasmhach /kleː hes̪vəx/ “very constant”

/fj/→ /j/ (before a back vowel)feòrachail /fjɔːɾəxal/ “inquisitive” → glé fheòrachail /kleː jɔːɾəxal/ “very inquisitive”
Reduction of place markedness
In the modern Goidelic languages, grammatical lenition also triggers the reduction of markedness in the place of articulation of coronal sonorants (l, r, and n sounds). In Scottish Gaelic, /n/ and /l/ are the weak counterparts of palatal /ɲ/ and /ʎ/.
/ɲ/→ /n/neulach /ɲial̪ˠəx/ “cloudy” → glé neulach /kleː nial̪ˠəx/ “very cloudy”
/ʎ/→ /l/leisg /ʎeʃkʲ/ “lazy” → glé leisg /kleː leʃkʲ/ “very lazy”
