Gaelic pronounciation (?)

Yes, the vowel combination 'ao' is pronounced as 'ay' much like 'ae' is.

Aisling was also a poetic genre developed by Aodhagán Ó Rathaille, considered by many to be the last Irish bard.

Well this is all very interesting because in my story Aisling is home to elves and in the first story this homeland is fiercely defended. I never knew about the aisling genre. Wow.
