Co-Fhad-Thràth an Earraich
'S e co-fhad-thràth an earraich a th' ann an-diugh. Today is Spring Equinox, and this is how to say it in Scottish Gaelic.

Feeling Foolish
For two weeks' now we have been talking about being "ready" in Gàidhlig class. It wasn't until Thursday evening I realised it was also the word for sunwise, oft-used in pagan circles, deiseil.
I can only suppose that when people constantly mispronounce something, and you get used to hearing it mispronounced, that when you encounter it in its language of origin (albeit with a slightly different meaning), you may not recognise it right away. The fact its often spelt differently in pagan circles didn't help either. I just felt so foolish when I finally made the connection.
