Pronunciation
[edit]User:69.206.168.201, please stop replacing the accurate IPA pronunciation of Cétchathach with your totally inaccurate "ked kasey" or "kahassy". The later is a reasonable prononciation of the Irish name Cathasaigh (/'ka-θa-siɣ/ > /'ka-ha-si/), which eventually became Anglicised as "Casey". But Cathach (/'ka-θax/ > /'ka-hax/) is not the same name as Cathasaigh, and is not and was never pronounced "Casey", nor was it Anglicised as "Casey". The fact that Cathasaigh has an s in it, and Cathach doesn't, should give you a clue that they're different names, that happen to have the same first element, cath, battle, in them. --Nicknack009 (talk) 21:53, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
- Beg pardon? While I didn't touch the pronuciation bit on the main page, nor intend to, I must state I feel you're mistaken somewhere. One thing I noticed when learning Irish was that the language doesn't seem to possess the θ sound, every 'th' gaphy I found being either mute or rendered using an aspiration (h) sound. So, I deduhahaxce that an approximate pronunciation of 'Cétchathach' would sound, in english, like something written 'ket hahax' (sorry for the non IPA writing, I have no idea how to get those from my keyboard).

External links modified
[edit]Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just modified one external link on Conn of the Hundred Battles. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:
- Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20081227214217/http://www.hastings.edu:80/academic/english/Kings/Home.html to http://www.hastings.edu/academic/english/Kings/Home.html
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{Sourcecheck}}
).
"The Lebor Gabála synchronises Conn's reign with that of the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius (161–180). The chronology of Geoffrey Keating's Foras Feasa ar Éirinn dates his reign to 116–136, that of the Annals of the Four Masters to 122–157.".... This sentence should be early in the article? It's frustrating to have to get to the very end of the article to get context of antiquity. Also, given such an early date, was this person myth/legend/historical? I think the article needs a more gradual introduction rather than jumping into the specifics of the legend. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.1.1.158 (talk) 00:14, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
