kilt button words?

[DamnthePants]

In looking at the buttons on my Kilt Jacket, its very similar, but mine says

Clann na Geal, just like yours

but to me it looks like

An Gnath na Cheili Which I think would mean

A Practice(custom,tradition) Together

So Im just missing one word: "Children of the Gaels _______ together" Clann na Gael ____ na cheili "

Ah, now we're getting somewhere. gnath is prononced gra as in car, bar etc. Together is, le cheile. So the second phrase should read An Gradh Le cheile. A literal translation of the whole button would therefore be: Children/descendents of the Gaels united in tradition.

And together, united we can translate some wee words on some buttons! huzzah

by the way (dictionary plug) I was using the Colin Marks Dictionary
