The Irish pronunciation of Beltane, written Bealtaine, is [b_j&lt@n_j@]. I think. I don't know how Imbolc is pronounced (or spelled in current Irish orthography), but Lughnasadh is [lu:n@s@] because it's spelled Lúnasa nowadays. I'm never sure about Gaeilge pronunciation though. Is anyone? (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_Calendar for more info.)
