A Glossary of Irish Terms
Heroic & Dark Fantasy and Science Fiction Character created by Kevin L. O'Brien
eing as the Medb hErenn universe is based on Kevin L. O'Brien's Irish/Celtic heritage, a number of Irish words and phrases are used in his stories and throughout this website. Some are names of races and supernatural beings, others are terms Medb uses as part of her magic, and still more are things Medb utters as part of her conversations with others or when cursing. The rest are terms from Irish culture. This page provides a list of these words and phrases, along with definitions and pronunciations. Where necessary, singular and plural forms of words are indicated by the following code: singular form / plural form. For a more thorough explanation of how to pronounce these terms, please see the Pronunciation Guide. With a few exceptions, the names of mythological and supernatural beings are not listed here. Instead, they are cataloged in a compendium accessible from the Irish Mythology page.
