OFFTOPIC:Irish pronunciation

[Barbara Currier <bacurrier@CHARTER.NET>]

Any native Irish speaking LM_Netters:
I'm writing to ask a bit of assistance, off list is most appropriate
and I apologize for the diversion.

My husband is in a directing class and will be presenting W. B.
Yeats' "On Baile's Strand." There are Irish names/words we need help
with, please. How would one pronounce the following:

On Baile's Strand:
Aoife
Baile
Banachas
Boann
Bonachas
Cuchulain,
        King of Muirthemne
Conchubar,
        High King of Uladh
Crubeen
Dubthach
Dundealgan
Fand
Formar
Laegaire
Maeve
        of Cruachan
Sorcha
Scathach
Uathach

I have some idea on most, but am not certain and am particularly
unsure of which syllables to stress.

I'll be "first woman" and will sing my chant (which contains some of
the aforementioned) to "Brian Boru's March."

Thanks for your help,
