IPA: /ˌmˠɑd̪ˠəˈɾˠuə/ [Munster], /ˌmˠad̪ˠu ˈɾˠuə/ [Ulster] [Show additional information ▼] [Hide additional information ▲]

Etymology: Literally, “red-haired dog”, just as madra rua. Since the term madadh is not generally used in Munster (where madra is preferred), Sjoestedt-Jonval considers the pronunciation /ˌmˠɑd̪ˠəˈɾˠuə/ to be a pronunciation of madra rua with dissimilatory loss of the first r.
