(Ulster)IPA(key): (South Donegal)/ˈtʲɨɡəsˠk/(as if spelled tiogasc), (Central Donegal)/ˈtʲɨɣəsˠk/(as if spelled tioghasc), (North Donegal)/ˈtʲɛɡəsˠk/
The form teagas, with the final c dropped, is due partly to metanalysis of the phrase teagasc Críostaí(“catechism”), in which the final /k/ of the first word is assimilated to the initial /c/ of the second word, and partly to the influence of the suffix -as.
