Aww :) Doesn't have quite the same ring to it, does it haha!

I do like Irish accents though. Just been watching The Fall on catch-up - Irish accents a plenty in that!
Sé... as in separate, followed by 'een-een'. This site will provide audio pronunciation of Irish words, including regional variations...

shuh-neen - spelt as Gaelic/Erse I would expect to have at least 20 letters.
