[antir-heralds] pronuncaition

[Caitrina Lions Blood]

This is why I have a friend who has a 13 letter Irish last name starting
with the letter M and containing many of the combinations you mention.  We
call her Ceara Mumblesomething and her name has made many a voice herald
cringe.

   Okay, I give up.  Who was the anal-retentive Victorian linguist who
decided that "n" was to be pronounced "v" (along with several other non-v
consonants), and "gh" was to be pronounced "n" -- and WHY??
   Havoise, utterly baffled by Irish
