    Ní cainteoir dhúchais mé, is mar sin nílim cinnte faoin fhuaimniú fhocail éigin uaireanta. Fuaimním "ball" mar "bah-wl",
    Ach níl a fhois agam faoi "baill" (má gcaithfidh mé buille faoi tuairim a thabhairt, déarfainn "bah-il"). An bhfuil eolas ag aon duine?

    bowl (not "bole") but BOWl kind of. What dialect are you learning? It can vary a lot from dialect to dialect, and my suggestion is as good as another (different) one.

    In the Ulster dialect it would be somewhere between "baal" and "bwaal".

    That's how I pronounce it as well. I just didn't want to end up saying the singular in one dialect's pronunciation and the plural in a different one. I'm not sure which dialect I'm learning. I know how to pronounce most things (by my own logic, and I'm not sure where it comes from. I'm from Dublin so it's probably just which ever teachers I had growing up), but occasionally I'll come across a word I'm not sure how to pronounce.

    If the word is member I'd pronounce it as "ball" as in football
