    How do I differentiate the country of Turkey from the bird? :)

      • turcaí = turkey (bird)
      • An Tuirc - Turkey (country)

          What's the significance of the 'i' in 'Tuirc' since usually it is there to let you know how the consonant after 'r' is pronounced, e.g. bard vs. baird?

            To show that both R and C are slender. I assume... Which is quite different from Turcaí, the animal. Softer.
