All right so me and my group of players got into an argument of how Tir Tairngire is supposed to be pronounced. Of course I realize that no one on here can say it for us or anything but I am hoping that I can get some folks that know how to do the whole dictionary type thing for pronouncing the name. I can't handle it anymore when I say it one way and one side of the table starts in and when I say it the other way that the other side goes nuts. Please someone help to definitively settle this for us. Thanks!
