ionad

== Irish == === Alternative forms === inead, ionadh, ionnad === Etymology === From Old Irish inad (“place, spot”). The word originally ended with a lenited d (/ð/ in Old Irish, spelled dh in the modern language), which was delenited to /d/ before seo (“this”), sin (“that”). This construction was so common that the form with the delenited d spread to all positions in the modern standard language, though ionadh is still encountered in dialects. === Pronunciation === (Munster) IPA(key): /ˈun̪ˠəd̪ˠ/ ~ /ˈin̪ˠəd̪ˠ/ (Connacht) IPA(key): /ˈinˠəd̪ˠ/ (Ulster) IPA(key): /ˈɨnˠəd̪ˠ/ === Noun === ionad m (genitive singular ionaid, nominative plural ionaid) place, position, site, spot Synonyms: áit, láthair station, rank, post Synonym: stáisiún centre (place where a function or activity occurs), venue Synonyms: lárionad, láthair ==== Declension ==== Alternative plurals: ionada, ionadacha ==== Derived terms ==== === Mutation === === References === === Further reading === Ó Dónaill, Niall (1977), “ionad”, in Foclóir Gaeilge–Béarla [Irish–English Dictionary], Dublin: An Gúm, →ISBN de Bhaldraithe, Tomás (1959), “ionad”, in English-Irish Dictionary, An Gúm “ionad”, in New English-Irish Dictionary, Foras na Gaeilge, 2013–2026 == Scottish Gaelic == === Etymology === From Old Irish inad (“place, spot”). === Noun === ionad m (genitive singular ionaid, plural ionadan) place, spot room, abode, office position centre (building) (computing) site, website ionad eadar-lìon ― internet site ==== Derived terms ==== === Mutation === === References === Edward Dwelly (1911), “ionad”, in Faclair Gàidhlig gu Beurla le Dealbhan [The Illustrated Gaelic–English Dictionary], 10th edition, Edinburgh: Birlinn Limited, →ISBN Gregory Toner, Sharon Arbuthnot, Máire Ní Mhaonaigh, Marie-Luise Theuerkauf, Dagmar Wodtko, editors (2019), “inad”, in eDIL: Electronic Dictionary of the Irish Language
