A
ailm, the Elm-tree. The 1st letter of the Gaelic alphabet, now in use. It has three sounds; (1) both long and short. Long, like a in father as — àl, brood, àr, slaughter. Short, like a in fat, cat, as pronounced by a Lowlander, but not as pronounced by an Englishman, as — falt, hair; cas, foot. (2) both long and short, when immediately preceding dh and gh; in which state it has no corresponding sound in English. Long as adhradh, worship, teaghlach, family. Short, as lagh, law; cladh, trench. (3) short and obscure, like e in hinder, as — an, am, a', the; ma, if; nam, nan, if that; and the plural terminations -a, -an, as laghanna, laws; beanntan, mountains.
