Cre shoh? (kra-SHAW) - What’s this?
mychione (ma-H’YOWN) - about
Instead of saying Y jerrey jeh’n TT (a-JERR-a-jayn-TT) for The end of the TT, Catreeney could have said Jerrey y TT (JERR-a-TT). Similarly, the alternative to Baase y TT is Y baase jeh’n TT.
The more Gaelic form is the three-word one.
