# righ
## Irish
### Etymology

From Old Irish ro·icc, with final gh rather than g due to conflation with synonymous ro·saig, compounded by the fact that slender gh at the end of a word is pronounced like slender g in Munster.

### Pronunciation

* (Munster) IPA: /ɾˠɪɟ/
* (Connacht, Ulster) IPA: /ɾˠiː/

### Verb

righ (present analytic righ, past analytic ráinig, future analytic riachtfaidh, verbal noun rochtain)
