fada

/ˈfɑːdə/

Rhymes with -ɑːdə

Where it comes from

Borrowed from Irish fada (“long”).

noun fadas

The acute accent as used in Irish orthography to mark a long vowel. When I read in the RIA Dictionary that the third person singular passive perfect of the verb fo-geib or fo-gaib “has been found”, has been found in the form frith, frioth, fo frith, foríth, and whole lot more including fríth with the fada, I find that friothfully froth-provoking.
