Irish
Etymology
From Old Irish Mumain, dative of Mumu (“Munster”).
Pronunciation
Proper noun
Mumhain f (genitive Mumhan)
- Munster (a province of Ireland)
Usage notes
- Always preceded by the definite article (An Mhumhain) outside of set phrases. Unusually for a proper noun, the genitive is always left unlenited after cúige (“province”), thus Cúige Mumhan, in contrast to Connachta (“Connacht”), which is always lenited in the genitive (thus Cúige Chonnacht (“Province of Connacht”)).
