I believe I read somewhere else that le+an becomes leis... so should the answer then really be "leis AN sce(fada)al"?

Is there a direct translation that would make more sense in my American brain? I just translated leis and it said with but I can't figure out how that makes sense.

So just to make sure I understand... I get Eistim, because I'm the one listening... is it "leis" because it's referring to "an sceal"? Meaning why leis instead of liom? I have in my notes that "eist (le)" means "listen (to)", but I didn't realize the "le" part needed to be conjugated as well, and I'm not sure what it's based on for this sentence.

Is eisteacht a 2nd conjugation verb? Why is that last i in eistim not accented?
