In the interest of easy access for other Bards, here’s a glossary (Sanasán, Jisho...hehe, I crack myself up) of sorts for the foreign words used by myself and a couple others. With luck, these should be handily C&Pable for anyone looking to add a word or two to their posts (including me! :snicker ). So here goes nothin’! 
Here is a list of all the words I’ve used (with some pronounciation...when I know it :toothy ). Those marked with a * are those other characters have actually heard:
Gaeilge = Irish Gaelic
Agus ta si (AW-gus ta she) = and this is
Aintín (ANN-cheen) = Aunt
Amharc = The Sight
*anáil = breath
*an Ghréigis = Greek (language)
Athair = Father
Bail ó Bhandia tú = Goddess bless you
*Baintreach = Widow
*Bandia (ban-GEE-uh) = Goddess
*Bandiá daoibh (ban-GEE-uh geeve) = Goddess be with you all (greating plural)
*Bandiá duit (ban-GEE-uh getch) = Goddess be with you (greeting)
*Bandroi an Cogadh (Ban-DREE an Cogeh) = Priestess of War
*Bhen Rudha (Ven ROO-ah) = Red Woman
*Cailleach = Witch
cara = friend
*coinín = rabbit
*croí (cree) = heart
*diachair = pain
díbheirg = vengence
*do = your
*Duibhfaolchú = Blackwolf
*Eascaine tú = Curse you
*fiach (FEE-ach) = raven
*fuath = hatred
gadaí = thief
*Geabach = Gabby
*go raibh maith, agat (go rah my, ah-got) = Thank you; lit. You have my thanks.
Immrama = Internal Voyage
*iníon (i NEE ehn) = daughter
is leor sin (is lore shin) = that is enough
*Laoch = Warrior
*leanbh = child
*Maidin maith (mah-GIN my) = Good morning
*Maith do mé, le do thoil (My do me, le do hall) = forgive me, please
*máthair (MAY-hair) = mother
*Máthair as an Tua = Mother of the Axe
*mo = my
namhaid = foe
*Oiche mhaith (EE-haw why) = Good night
Samhain (SAH-vin) = Celtic Fire Festival on Oct. 31st
*Seanmháthair (shawn-WHEY-hair) = Grandmother
*Slán agat = Farewell

*Tá fáilte romhat (ta FAL-cha row-IT) = You’re welcome
