Hi all, Can any of you help with a translation from Gaelic to English please. I'm assuming that it is Irish because of the little harp. I don't even know what this little item is, but perhaps knowing the words may help me. Thanks in advance.

Go to google horse and there's a list of languages for translation in there and Irish is one of them
Droma is drum.

Thanks both for your answers. I have tried through Google to find the relevant sites, but I can't find these words in the dictionaries found; also, I can't type the words directly into google because they are not English letters, some being more symbol-like; so I'm at a loss.
there are quite a few really nice Irish people get in here horse, perhaps they can help you
Good Luck
They are proper letters, just written in a different way.
You can see them here.

HI Horses,
Looks like an old irish dialect, Droma is the Irish for Bach ache/ Strain ( Drum is Drumma)
Brioc could be a derivation of Brioct and means operation.
The final word means Irish.
Doeas any of this make sense.?

Hi again. I've looked at the link and from what I can make out c with a dot becomes ch - (just like Welsh) so I'm having a guess that one word is Briocht (bread perhaps). As for the other 2 words they seem to spell out sae dh ealach and rean mh ar. So I'm off again now to try and translate them somewhere. Thanks again.

I have tried that Tadoran and have only found the backache one - Droma
The character is a g" not an "s" - it's gaedealach = gaelic/ Irish

Thank you Dundurn. 2 down and 2 to go!

I have a friend who is a linguist and thought he may know somebody who could help and they came up trumps. This is part of what they said
"Irish is VERY old, not modern Irish at all, which is why it took a wee bit longer to decipher.
The full translation according to them is "The Lucky Irish Amulet Drum".
