custom and convenience. I use, for instance, "Slieve" for "Sliabh,"
because it comes so often, and a mispronunciation would spoil so many
names. I have treated "Inbhir" (a river mouth) in the same way, spelling
it "Inver," and even adopting it as an English word, because it is so
useful. The forty scholars of the New School of Old Irish will do us
good service if they work at the question both of spelling and of
pronunciation of the old names and settle them as far as is possible.
