Note that ‘reiltys Vannin’ means ‘the government of Mann’. There is no need for ‘yn’ before ‘reiltys’. We express ‘of Mann’ by changing (leniting) the ‘M’ in ‘Mannin’ to ‘V’.
arraneys (arr-AAN-iss) - singing
piobberaght (PEEB-er-akht) - piping
Galeeshagh (gal-EESH-akh) - Galician
Scuirr! (skwirr) - Stop!
For ‘scuirr’, the imperative (stem) and the verbal noun are the same, so ‘scuirr’ means both ‘stop!’ and ‘stopping’.
marrooit ec (MARR-oo-it-eck) - killed by (at)
creoi (KRA-ee) - hard
gagh blein (gakh-blayn) - each year
