The Irish for a Frankenstein is a Pronsiasaighainstaighan. #Samhain2019

The English word fairy is an ill fit for the Irish word Sí (Sídhe in older texts). This is the root of banshee (Bean Sí)... and that's why, mo chairde, the plural of banshee is mnashee. Not banshees.

The Irish for the Netherlands is An Ísiltír. Ísil - low (a form of íseal) Tír - country

Holland and the Netherlands are not the same. It's sort of a UK/England/Britain thing. Anyway, the Irish for Holland is An Ollainn. Not to be confused with ólann, which means drinking (present tense).
