There seem to be all sorts of ways of pronouncing Adomnán - my colleagues
over in Lampeter (including the inestimable Tom O'Loughlin, who has managed
to publish not one but two books on Celtic theology this autumn) seem to go
for 'Adavnawn'. Not that I am in any way disputing anyone else's way. Welsh
phonetics I can do but Gaelic phonetics reduce me to the same sort of panic
that English people get into over our 'll' consonant.
