What is the Irish word for seagull and how do you pronounce it?

Due to my Luthien Seagull experience, described on http://www.nfld.com/~dalton/luthien.html
I am considering taking the name Seagull, either in
English, Irish, Beothuk, or Mi’kmaq, but probably in Irish,
even though Salmon figures more prominently on
the title page of my Salmon on the Thorns webpage.

Earlier today, February 23, was the 25th anniversary of
that experience. (Even though it s now 4:02 a.m. Feb. 24
here, I still count it as the night of Feb. 23 until dawn.)

Thanks a lot, I had gotten the word from google translate
but wasn’t sure how to pronounce it.

You might find this site helpful David. There is a tab for
pronunciations of words in Irish should you ever be looking for any more
words.

Your Seagull gets you...

Thanks, I will have to bookmark that site.

My Dalton ancestor moved from Inistoge,
County Kilkenny, to Conception Bay Central
here on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland
in about 1750. But there are only a few
Irish speakers here these days.
