phonetic translation please?

I'd be very grateful for phonetic breakdowns of how would I pronounce the following two words:

Draiodheil

Draoidheachd


I want to use them in a story about magic and bewitchment and druidry.

Cheers, Sorcha

Draiodheil

Is this a mis-spelling for: Draoidheil? The rule of 'broad and slender' vowels is not evident in your highlighted word.
If so, it would sound like Drew-yell


Draoidheachd
This word would be said as: Drew-yachk/ Drew-yochk (the 'ch' sounded as in 'loch')

I am not a native speaker so please try to get confirmation.

Verbal emphasis is on the first syllable of the word. The English Druid and Draoidheachd would seem to have a common root.

I hope this is of some help.

Thanks

Thanks Hiorta for your reply. I did think that was the pronounciation, but to have your confirmation is very helpful.

I appreciate it.

Cheers, Sorcha
