Thank you for adding the comment on regional pronunciation, it is always a great irritation no matter what language is involved.
You’re very welcome, a chara!
Interesting
GRMA ! Go maith —except perhaps to translate what the Irish words mean !
An interesting point, Mary! The actual meaning of the words is somewhat lost in the mists of time. The etymology, or origin, of crann sailí is Latin (‘Salix’). Crann coill (coll) is proto-Indo-European (‘koselos’). Crann Fuinseoige (fuinseog) derives from the old Irish ‘uinnius’. Crann Darach originates in the proto-Celtic word ‘daru’. Rowan, on the other hand, gets its name from an Irish word for berry that is still used, ‘caor’.
