Old Irish hasn't been spoken for centuries.

Modern Irish dictionary says - frithbheartaíocht (unless I'm mistaken about the definition).

I wonder if "Seasamh" would work better?

It is recommended that you always wait for three to agree on a translation.
I speak Connemara Irish, and my input will often reflect that.
I will do an mp3 file on request for short translations.

Thanks for the reply!

Am I right thinking 'Seasamh' means to take a stand for or against something? If it does then that's exactly what I'm looking for :)

I read that it comes from the old Irish word 'sessam'. I wonder if it's better to use that since ogham was used to write old Irish, or does that really matter?

Thanks for the help

Sorry I can't advice on ogham.
Other people here are experts on that.
