    Conas a dhéarfá 101ú i bhfocail?

    How would you say 'one hundred and first' without using numerals, e.g. hundred and first airborne?

    I come up with 'chéad is céad' but that sounds wrong.

    101st Airborne Division would be an tAonú Rannán ar Eite is Céad.
    But what about 101st Airborne by itself?
    Any thoughts?

    Yeah that would be good although I'd have it as the airborne 101st in English as a first thought.

    For airborne I'd use the term 'aerbheirthe' that's in the Defense Forces dictionary.

    I'd write: 101ú aerbheirthe
    I'd say: an céad is aonú aerbheirthe

    Ah yes, I was thinking that ar eite sounded a bit iffy.
