Talk:Scottish Gaelic alphabet

Teine
Dwelly gives "furze" as the definition of teine, not "holly". (Onn and oir also mean "furze". Scotland must be covered in the stuff, whatever it is. See Gorse.)
 * There are now two letters listed as "furze." But there are also sevreal distinct plants with this name, so I suspet that the Scots used two distinct plants for th etwo different letters. can someone please assign the correct plant to each name? I re-linkes several of the other plants to the correct names, but I do not know enough to fix this one. -Arch dude (talk) 01:45, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Dwelly gives both onn and teine as Ulex europaeus:, . --Thrissel (talk) 13:25, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
 * OTOH oir is apparently spindle (Euonymus europaeus). It seems both were used (Dwelly has onn, McLennan uses on the cover on his recent book oir); I changed the box accordingly. --Thrissel (talk) 14:15, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

Ec?!
In what "European" naming system is the letter c called "ec"?

Name of the letter P
In its place, I see ngetal ("reed"), but it can't be this, can it? FilipeS 16:38, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
 * While this is speculation, I would agree it doesn't sound right. Nearly all the names are obviously cognate with their Irish counterparts ("beith" and "beith", "nuin" and "nin"), but "ngetal" looks nothing like the Irish name for P which was "peith". - Estoy Aquí (t • c • e) 00:18, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

I've changed it to the name given at Irish orthography, but I don't know if the spelling is right. FilipeS (talk) 22:58, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Ngetal (or Ngiatal) was the name of the Ogham character representing /ŋ/ "ng".Murchadh (talk) 23:04, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
