The linguistics professor I consulted, while in the choosing process
said effectively the same thing, except that in period, the
pronunciation was more like I described. How they would know that, I
have absolutely no idea. How they know how dead languages are
pronounced. I have no idea. I suspect it is all theory, anyway.

>Anyway, The Irish gaelic version of Patrick is Padruig.
It's the Gaelic spelling, It's still pronounced Patrick. Or more to
the
point, Patrick is the English transliteration of the Gaelic Padruig.
Just like
the word Sgian (which means 'knife') is transliterated as Skeen which
is how it
is pronounced in either spelling.
