"le í"

    I keep hearing 'le í dinnéir' on RnaG, and Ros na Rún by Conamara speakers.

    Is this actually 'le haghaidh' or is it 'le' with an added í just for sound? Something like how trua gets pronounced as 'truaí'

    I have heard Máirtín Tom Sheáinín say both of these, i.e. 'le h'i' (with "i" sound) and 'le í' (with í sound) so maybe there are both out there?

    le h'aghaidh- "le h'i"
    le- "le í"

    I think they say léithe in Conamara instead of léi

    maybe this could be it

    Cheers, it seems there are three pronunciations of 'le haghaidh' in Conamara.
    Cool :)
