Can anyone out there help with some Gaelic translation?

Hello!

I am building a timberframe house out on a lake North West on Ann Arbor Michigan, and I am toying with the idea of naming the house/property in Gaelic.

The first thought is the name of the lake (half moon lake) which if my Gaelic is close would be Loch Leth Gealach. Anyone care to help with vocabulary or spelling or naming? :laughing: The house is also just south of Hell Michigan, If that gives anyone any ideas! :imp:

Thanks!

Half-Moon Lake is “Loch Leathghealaí,” pronounced [lokh LYAH-yallee].

Hell is “ifreann” [IF-run].

“Gabháil le gealaigh,” [gol leh gyallee], literally to “go with the moon,” means to be going stark raving mad…just in case it comes in handy. :smiley:
