Traenyn Vannin (TRAYN-an-VANN-in) The Trains of Mann.
shenn traenyn (shan-TRAYN-an) old trains
bunnys ooilley (BUNN-us-ULL-ya) almost all
jeant (jinnt) made; done
sy nuyoo cheead jeig (sa-NEE-oo-KHEE-ad-JEGG) in the nineteenth century

To express the order of something in a sequence, we often put '-oo' after a number:

nuy
(nee)

nine


nuyoo

(NEE-oo)

ninth

keead (KEE-ad) hundred, century
nuyoo cheead jeig (NEE-oo-KHEE-ad-JEGG) nineteenth century

Notice how the word for 'century' is sandwiched between 'nuy' and 'jeig'. Also, 'keead' becomes 'cheead' here.
