Welsh Cilt

[auld argonian]

Well, Dave, you will look very handsome in that tartan, I should think.

I wonder if there are adverse affects on a man's health when he joneses for weeks on end...

On a linguistic note, in Gaelic & in Welsh, there are no soft c's. They are always hard, regardless of the vowel that follows.

Oh, please tell the folks around here...I got into an argument with the very-proper-volunteer lady at the Chicago Cultural Center when I asked for a schedule for C(K)eltic Fest and she insisted that it was C(S)eltic Fest.

And Plano...it just shows where your head is at...you prevert! ;-)

For some reason no one can explain, sports teams are (s)eltic, even in Scotland.

Perhaps it's just to keep everyone on their toes.

It's for the English, the Sassenachs (means Saxons) can't say the k sound, ha.

As the majority of the English are not Saxons (Sassenachs), it stands to reason that most English People are quite capable of pronouncing the 'k' sound. In fact we English think the Scots are strange when they call a football (soccer) team 'Glasgow Celtic' and pronounce it 'Seltic'. Perhaps you Scots are more 'Sassenach' than you think.

Depending on the consonent however, "c" does not always have a hard sound (In Welsh, or Gaelic), but that is niether here-nor-there in this thread.

I am just working oop me post count. Back tae the convo. :grin:

Is it just me, or is anyone else transposing those middle 2 letters whenever they see the word cilt? I'm finding it very distracting.

I find it distracting as well... I'm slightly Dyslexic, so you can guess what that does for me. It seems worse with Cilt rather than Kilt.. Oh well, to each their own.. Carry on.

I'm going to have to quit reading this forum. You guys are making me spend too much money!!

Oh quit your bleating and consider the thousands of dollars this forum has convinced me to part with in the name of comfort and heritage!! (haha!!)

Still, we only get one shot at life and those who live it out in a kilt (Cilt) do so to the full.
So what is money??? just something that allows us to aquire more kilts.
Life is good in a kilt...as someone once said!
