Dear Fleegle,
What does 'An beagle le dearcadh' mean? It's clearly Gaelic, though whether Scots or Irish, I can't tell (no accents, and Irish has acute ones whilst Scots has grave ones)

It means he's too sexy for his shirt.

[Fleegle]

It means 'The Beagle with a view'. As far as I know it's the same spelling in both Scots and Irish Gaelic 'Tire Dia's' translates as 'God's Country'. Regarding accents, my keyboard doesn't provide them, unfortunately.

Fleeg.

It means 'The Beagle with a view'.

I would have translated it as the Beagle with foresight, the ability to see things clearly and to see what may happen in the future. As with many Irish words there isn't a single word in English that conveys the full meaning of the word.

'Tire Dia's' translates as 'God's Country'

I won't even start on the possessive or genitive case in Irish. It is one of the trickier parts of a very tricky grammar and involves knowing which gender the word is. I'll just say you don't use an apostrophe!

Nothing to do with Pharmacy, then, but left-ALT+ various numbers from the numberpad make all the accented letters you'll ever need. e.g ALT+137 makes ë and ALT+140 makes î
