    Hi

    I listen to RNAG an awful lot and keep coming across these words, which I think must be generic rather than context specific ? I'll give the words phonetically in the hope that someone can perhaps give me a clue as to what they might mean ?

    Deeny
    Bumskull
    Acu
    Mah Atah
    Sheh Shin
    Rivishin

    Thanks

    Bumskull =?
    Acu= acu= their's
    Mah Atah= ?
    Sheh Shin= sé sin= that is
    Rivishin= roimhe sin= before that

    Thanks guys. I really appreciate that. I had a course of 10 lessons which ended last Xmas and left me feeling like I was up **** creek without a paddle - still floundering.
