teagasc

Irish

Alternative forms

  • teagas, tionchosc
  • teagasg, teagosc, teagosg, teagusg, tionchosg (obsolete)[1]

Pronunciation

  • (Munster) IPA(key): /ˈtʲaɡəsˠk/
  • (Connacht) IPA(key): /ˈtʲaɡəsˠ/[2][3] (corresponding to the form teagas)
  • (Ulster) IPA(key): (South Donegal) /ˈtʲɨɡəsˠk/ (as if spelled tiogasc)[4], (Central Donegal) /ˈtʲɨɣəsˠk/ (as if spelled tioghasc)[5], (North Donegal) /ˈtʲɛɡəsˠk/[6]

The form teagas, with the final c dropped, is due partly to metanalysis of the phrase teagasc Críostaí (“catechism”), in which the final /k/ of the first word is assimilated to the initial /c/ of the second word, and partly to the influence of the suffix -as.[7]
