Gaelic Name Wavs

 
 

Sorry I missed my "lesson" last week! And I'm posting this a day later this week too, but work has
been getting in the way of my life these days...

Well, on to this week's Gaelicking. Val and Merc already gave us a great names dictionary, but for
those who have a little difficulty with the pronunciations :-) here's a few wav files with some of the
most common ladies' names.

     Catherine:  catriona.wav Catŕona (kaTREE-ana)
