I am of Irish blood. It is my heritage and I am seeking assistance with translation on the following words. "Heathen Serenity" Its something I dearly appreciate. As I would be representing my pride in my heritage and my faith. All help is appreciated.

Probably: Suaimhneas Páganta

Wait for more.

suaimhneas págánach = heathen serenity


suaimhneas an phágánaigh = [the] serenity of the heathen

Sorry, Gumbi. I wasn't contradicting you. There were no other posts when I responded, and now yours is there. I've had several odd things like that happen on this forum, including one of my posts disappearing.

Not sure about the other one, a Chaoimhín, but this one happened because your post was merged from another thread.

(OP had two threads running concurrently. )



That was more or less what I was thinking but I think the last one would need to be suaimhneas na bpágánaigh.

All three seem much of a muchness. Are there differences in nuance between págánta and págánach? FGB refers págánach back to págánta, so perhaps págánta is more usual.

As long as 'heathen' equates to 'pagan' ??? ...then I reckon páganta and págánach are both fine as adjectives.

Genitive of the noun:

suaimhneas an phágánaigh (TG - uatha)

or

suimhneas na bpágánach (TG - lagiolra)

A Bhreandáin - I'm beginning to think you're planting these just to keep me occupied!

Not again. Maybe I'm getting slack cause I know you are there to pick up the mistakes.

You're probably right. The reason I used págánta is because págánach can mean "the person" as well as (possibly) the adjective, whereas págánta can't mean the person.

yes by heathen i mean pagan. Thanks for the assistance. Still awaiting more opinions. But I truly appreciate all the assistance so far. Blessings of Light and Love
