Arrow Gaelic Endearments...

Greetings All,

I'm a frustrated writer and I was wondering if anyone can help me.

I'm looking for some Gaelic Endearments which would be said by a man to a woman.

Example: My love, my sweet, etc..

If any one can translate some endearments for me that would be wonderful. Or better yet, if anyone knows of any resources on the net, that would great as well. I've tried searching on Google, but it is very difficult to find anything.

Thank you all in advance.

Sincerely,

BattleGoddess

Thank you for your help.

Greetings,

Thank you anSiarach for your help. I will mention you in the acknowledgements of my book.

I also need translation for the following words:

The Guardian

The Dark Guardian

The Guardian Clan.

If anyone knows of any other Scots Gaelic endearments, please let me know.

Again, thank you.

How do you say,

"Oh God, not another romance novelist!" in Gaelic?
