Feilidh-Mhor pronunciation

[figheadair]

All Gàidhlig nouns have gender. Mhòr would change the gender of 'kilt' from masculine to feminine!!!Robbie

Would it not be more correct to say that mhor, as a qualifiying adjective, signifies/agrees with a feminine noun. The gender of Gaelic nouns is, I believe, related the the word structure; hence, a word like feusag (a beard) is feminine and so the adjective would have to agree - feusag mhor.

Yes. The point being that fèileadh mhòr implies that fèileadh is feminine, because mòr lenites to mhòr following a feminine noun, which is not the case here.

Gender can sometimes be inferred from the spelling of a word, particularly its' ending, but there are too many exceptions to formulate a set of 'rules'.

Those of us not fortunate enough to be native speakers just have to try to remember! - Robbie
