Pronunciation

The genitive singular of this word is pronounced /bˠeːlʲ/ in Munster and formerly County Kilkenny, and not */bˠiːlʲ/ as wrongly suggested by the Caighdeán Oifigiúil’s reduced spelling baoil. In Munster and formerly County Kilkenny, ao /ɯː/ before "broad" (non-palatal) consonants has become /eː/, whereas ao /ɯː/ before "slender" (palatal) consonants has become /iː/. Accordingly, in these areas both the nominative singular baoghal /bˠɯːɣəlˠ/ and genitive singular baoghail /bˠɯːɣəlʲ/ developed the vowel /eː/, which remained after the loss of intervocalic /ɣ/. For a similar pronunciation mismatch in the current standard spelling, compare the reduced spelling of saoil from Classical saoghail.
