English-Gaelic Translation Needed

[raibeart_dubh]

I need some help from the Gaelic speakers here. What is the Gaelic equivalent of adversary?

Thanks for any help!

[Skipper1]

In Irish it is (n) Ceile (Feminine) Comhraic - according to my dictionary

Skipper1,

Thanks for the reply! I am really looking for a Scots Gaelic translation but I would also be willing to use the Irish translation, and then again they may very well be the same word. This is for a little musical project I am working on and I wanted it to reflect my Scottish heritage but Irish Gaelic would work as well.

English => Scots Gaelic:

enemy / adversary / foe / antagonist => nàmhaid (m) -imhdean / nàimhad

Hey dude,

Just in case it's important... my Gaidhlig/Beurla dictionary shows the pronunciation thus: navij which I think might also be shown as NAW-veej or NAY-veej in a more Americanese version. You'd probably be safe with either of those given the great variations in Gaelic dialects from region to region.

Maybe we'll have a chance to discuss such topics over a pint in the near future, eh wot? Hope to hear more about your project soon.

Aye,
Wesley

Nàmhaid
cèile-còmhraig
eascaraid
cuspairiche

They all mean foe, opponent etc.
