This is for a book I'm co-authoring. How would I say "White Swan Lake". I know a lake is a "loch." Also, I'm interested in any other domestic animal names. Is there a list somewhere?
Thanks for your help. You have been helpful in the past.
To answer your question, there are actually two ways to say the expression.
The grammatically correct way is
Loch na h-eala bhàinebut what may be more commonly used in everyday speech is
Loch na h-eala bhàin [without the final "e"]
This has to do with the fact that many traditional case endings in Gaelic have merged (or are merging) into common forms.
