Thats great - What is the connection when it gives me two words, for exmple "stronghold" gives me:

stronghold: cuithir

stronghold: staing

and vineyard gives me:

vineyard: fìon-lios

vineyard: garradh-fìona

Are both equally acceptable or is this far too advanced for me to get? Thanks again.

The thing is about the Stordata is that it's really PC Gaelic. There probably never was a word for Vineyard in Gaelic but one was made up so that people could discuss it. Most Gaelic speakers wouldn't have a clue what Vineyard is and would no doubt be quite amused too. It's all about judging when to use these words. Use the Stordata with caution!!!!!!

Garadh-fiona = Wine Garden literally. if u click on the Gaelic version it'll give you equivalents.
