	Leaprechauns can help. Aunt is Aint�n (pro anteen) Uncle is uncail (pro unk-ill) These are bastardisations from english as in gaelic the construction of sister or brother of either parent would have been the common usage, and is too unwieldy for direct translation. Grandmother is Seanmh�thar or Mam� (pro shan-wa-har or Mom-owe) Grandfather is Seanathar or Dad� (pro shan-ah-har or Dad-owe). Snake says congratulations.
