    Well, this'll be interesting.

    What's wrong with Dwelly's, by the way?

    As regards soikernbannal or kernbannal that sounds like complete charlatanry to me. Firstly they are english spellings, secondly kern looks like ceithearn a war band, banal is the scots gaelic for troop but a troop of women or a ban-dáil- sounds like something you found in dwelly.
    This message from Ranika is a month old so it's our fault, we just haven't remedied it yet.

    I forgot. I used a few medieval terms for the Irish units; if you could tell some one and have such things remedied, that'd be very helpful. It's sometimes hard to find appropriate dark age terms.

    Kern is a Norman name. Kernbannal is a Norman-Gaelic mash word employed by Normans in Ireland during the middle ages.

    The proper name is 'Ceitheirn' (which was also used in the middle ages, but I find now it was also used in the dark ages). Archers are 'Saighduira' (which would later become a generic term for soldiers).
    For the other stuff I'm clueless, but yes, it should be interesting

    Nothing really but bit anachronistic using a modern scots gaelic dictionary to provide terms from the middle irish period, especially since scots gaelic as written form didn't really emerge until the sixteenth century.

    I wouldn't even call it 'modern' Scots Gaelic, but you're totally right there. It just seemed as though you were dumping on it in general.

    Agraes,
    Thanks! I found a lot of Englisc and Welsh names yesterday so a shorter list would be perfect. If you need the list I can send it to you.
