NAME!

I figured out how to make my name feminine!

Sotal means "the arrogant" (for a man). In Gaelic, if you want to make a word feminine, you "lenite" it. For the sound "S" at the beginning of a word, that means you change it to either "F" (with a dot over it) or "Sh" and pronounce the sound "h". Hooray! So now I have to figure out whether I want to be Bébhinn F.otal or Bébhinn Shotal. In writing, the former looks better. I need to figure out how to type that in Word. There's a Ġ in Word (G.) Oh well. I'll figure it out.

Yay! I can submit my name! Thank the Lord and Lady and Pallas Athena. Woot!

isles, gaelic
