pronunciation

[edit]

What makes the writer of this article think that Banbha is pronounced /bɑ:nvə/? For a kick off, there is no long vowel here (which would be written á). What about the epenthetic vowel (if you don't know what that is, you shouldn't be writing articles here). The pronunciation is /bɑnəvə/. 86.151.177.184 (talk) 11:55, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You're obviously right about the first vowel. I'm not sure the epenthetic vowel was part of Old or Middle Irish pronunciation, but the pronunciation given is for the modern spelling, so I've changed it as per your comment. --Nicknack009 (talk) 13:00, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
