   Format: MarkdownI added the definition from Garner. It seems to me that Garner's version cries out to be generalised just slightly to a full [[categorification]] of the notion of topological space.

   Format: MarkdownThanks! I realised that the distinction between broad and slender consonants in Irish matches fairly well the distinction between hard and soft consonants in Slavic languages, so I added a transliteration into Cyrillic as well.

   Format: MarkdownDoes this mean that I've been pronouncing "Iona" incorrectly all these years? I always said "Eye-Owe-Nah" but I guess I should have been saying "UNN-ah" (or something like that).

   Format: MarkdownNo, I think 'Iona' is the English name. The site logainm.ie gives the Irish as 'Í' (pr. 'ee'). I'd pronounce 'Iona' as you do.

   Format: MarkdownTo judge from [Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iona#Etymology), ‘Iona’ is a horrible corruption that one should be ashamed to use at all. Certainly not an Irish word, so no worries there.
