:"Long fhada" as used in the article has no hyphen, and conforms to the standard practice in Gaelic and related languages of placing the adjective after the noun. As the noun here is feminine and in the common (or nominative) case, the initial "f" is lenited (aspirated) and becomes "fh". This should be distinguished from genuine compound adjectives such as "lámhfhada". There the first element in the adjective ("lámh-") causes lenition in the second element and the result is a new verbal entity. "Long-fhada" would mean something like "resembling a ship in length".
