cammaiph
Old Irish
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): [ˈkamɨfʲ]
- (possibly) IPA(key): [ˈkamaːi̯fʲ]
Thurneysen suggests that the word is “probably to be read with ‑aí-”, i.e. pronounced [ˈkamaːi̯fʲ], based on his proposed etymology. However, it is apparently never written with an acute accent, either in Old Irish or in Middle Irish texts, rendering the pronunciation [ˈkamɨfʲ] more likely.
