As a P-Kelt, I'm not sure why I care, but somehow Goidelic spellings are
most amusing. If you thought you'd had enough of words like `thought' `you'
`enough' `of' and `words', check out the almost beautiful insanity of:

    SPELLING			PRONOUNCED LIKE		MEANING (IF EXISTS)
    O Flaithbeartaigh		O'Flaherty
    bheith			veh			to be
    Mathghamhna			Mahoney
    Mean Fhomhair		m+yanor			September


Are there many keltophiles among us?
