Etymology

From Old Irish báegul (“unguarded condition, danger, hazard, vulnerability; chance, opportunity (of taking by surprise, inflicting an injury); making a mistake in judgement, etc., liability arising from error (or negligence ?)”) (compare Scottish Gaelic baoghal (“weirdo; fool, idiot; harm, peril, crisis”)).

Pronunciation
  • (Munster) IPA(key): /bˠeːl̪ˠ/
  • (Connacht) IPA(key): /bˠiːlˠ/, /bˠiːl̪ˠ/
  • (Ulster) IPA(key): /bˠiːlˠ/, /bˠiːl̪ˠ/, (older) /bˠɯːlˠ/
Comments

The genitive singular of this word is pronounced /bˠeːlʲ/ in Munster and formerly County Kilkenny, and not */bˠiːlʲ/ as wrongly suggested by the Caighdeán Oifigiúil’s reduced spelling baoil. In Munster and formerly County Kilkenny, ao /ɯː/ before "broad" (non-palatal) consonants has become /eː/, whereas ao /ɯː/ before "slender" (palatal) consonants has become /iː/. Accordingly, in these areas both the nominative singular baoghal /bˠɯːɣəlˠ/ and genitive singular baoghail /bˠɯːɣəlʲ/ developed the vowel /eː/, which remained after the loss of intervocalic /ɣ/. For a similar pronunciation mismatch in the current standard spelling, compare the reduced spelling of saoil from Classical saoghail.
