Explanation:
This is one choice. The 'e' and the 'u' have this accent ' over them. This is Irish Gaelic (first reference). For Manx Gaelic you can use "dunver hene" or "dunverys hene", the first Manx word has the basic meaning of "kill, killer, killing" and the second means "self" . HTH.

disagree  EdithK: The "sinau" is missing over the e and the u, you copied the spelling in your reference incorrectly, and no capital F. ADD: Well, we are native Gaelic speakers here, and accents, well, which ones? The French ones, no, but the sinau is a defined accent.

  -> You didn't read the whole answer, you just looked at the top part. Besides, am I supposed to take seriously a "disagree" where someone uses the phrase "and a no capital F?". Doubtful. BTW, it's from a Gaelic dictionary, published by Gaelic speakers.
